Bill Cowher was a surprise guest at the Steelers’ Hall of Honor dinner Saturday night, and he did not disappoint. While celebrating 2024 inductees Jason Gilden, Casey Hampton, Willie Parker and Dick LeBeau, he told some great yarns, much to the delight – and laughter – of the roughly 500 people in attendance.
Hampton is one of the most beloved players in franchise history because of his colorful nickname, “Big Snack,” and the thankless work he did as perhaps the premier nose tackle of his generation.
Cowher recalled the Steelers working out Hampton at the University of Texas prior to the 2001 NFL Draft.
