The Pro Football Hall of Fame does things differently than its baseball counterpart, so Kevin Greene won’t be enshrined with a particular team Saturday when he’s inducted in Canton, Ohio.
Greene, who spent three of his final four seasons with the Carolina Panthers, is probably most closely associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will hold a Hall of Fame ring ceremony for Greene in October.
But more than a certain team or uniform, Greene will enter the Hall of Fame as a pass rusher.
That’s what helped turn the former Auburn walk-on into a five-time Pro Bowler, and it’s what put him in Canton after 12 years of waiting.
