For L.C. Greenwood and Andy Russell, they’ll have to wait at least another year. And probably much longer than that. Neither player made the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s most recent list of candidates as the Senior committee trimmed the group of names from 60 to 31.
The pair made the inaugural list of 182 and the reduction to 60. But their candidacy this year has ended.
Greenwood made part one-fourth of the famous Steel Curtain defensive line and is the biggest Steelers’ Hall of Fame snub not currently enshrined. A six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, he unofficially finished with more sacks than first ballot Hall of Famer and teammate Joe Greene, his 78 edging out Greene’s 77.
