In 2017, the Pittsburgh Steelers created the Hall of Honor to “recognize former players, coaches, and front office personnel who played an integral role in the success of the franchise, from the beginning in 1933 until now. To be considered, a player must be retired at least three years and played a minimum of three seasons for the Steelers. Former coaches and contributors had to make significant contributions to the team and community.” (Steelers)
The 4 people that make up the 2019 Hall of Honor class are Larry Brown, Elbie Nickle, Hines Ward and former NC State linebacker Bill Cowher.
