The Pittsburgh Steelers and the football community at large suffered a major blow late this past year as we learned of the sudden passing of Kevin Greene, the Hall of Fame linebacker who spent a decade and a half in the NFL, and yet was perhaps best remembered for his three-year stay with the Steelers, during which he helped the team reach Super Bowl XXX.
Greene, who finished his career with 160 sacks, third-most in the history of the NFL, and would eventually be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was 58 at the time of his passing, and though he was focusing at this point on being near his family, he continued to be engaged in the sport.
