The Pittsburgh Steelers were supposed to have three members of the Hall of Fame enshrined this year. As I wrote about yesterday morning, that won’t happen, with Hall of Fame weekend cancelled, and the enshrinement ceremony pushed back until next August.
Troy Polamalu, the great safety of the 2000s-era championship teams, was a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Through the Centennial class, he was joined by his first head coach, Bill Cowher, who returned the Lombardi back to Pittsburgh after 25 years, and then Donnie Shell, who had been up to now the most underrated player of the 1970s teams.
