The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the list of players nominated for the Class of 2025 in the Seniors category, and six former Steelers are among those nominated.
They include defensive lineman L.C. Greenwood, kicker Norm Johnson, defensive lineman Eugene 'Big Daddy' Lipscomb, linebacker Andy Russell, defensive back Mike Wagner, and running back Byron 'Whizzer' White.
In order to be eligible for the Seniors category, players could not have appeared in an NFL game after the 1999 season.
The Seniors Screening Committee, which was created in 2024 to provide more in-depth input in the selection process, will narrow the list to 50 players over the next few weeks. After that process is complete, the Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee will reduce the list further and ultimately select three Seniors Finalists.
