Another year, another former Steelers player is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class for 2018.
Alan Faneca is among the 15 modern-era finalists again, making it in all three three years of his eligibility. Hines Ward missed out on making the finals after he was picked among the 25 semifinalists in both years of his eligibility.
Also among the finalists for the second consecutive year is cornerback Ty Law, an Aliquippa High School graduate who played with four NFL teams.
Faneca and Law each had a large group of competitors at their positions last year and it will be no different this time around.
