Pittsburgh Steelers Gary Anderson: Placekickers are people too

Pittsburgh Steelers legendary running back Jerome Bettis will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in a few short weeks. Will the next Hall of Fame inductee from the Black & Gold be Gary Anderson?

How is it possible that a four-time Pro Bowler, member of NFL All-Decade Teams for both the 80s and 90s, and the second all-time scorer in NFL history isn't already in the Hall of Fame?

The man who scored 2,434 points during his career, Gary Anderson, placekicker for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1982-1994.
