Former Steelers LB Levon Kirkland Talks College Football Hall Of Fame Nomination, Love For Dropping Into Coverage

As mentioned earlier here on the site, The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Football Hall of Fame announced the names on the 2024 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame with three former Steelers making the nomination ballot: WR Antwaan Randle El, LB Levon Kirkland, and OT Flozell Adams.

Kirkland is the most notable and recognizable name on this list, and rightfully so. The two-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro back in 1997 was a menace back in his playing days for Pittsburgh, weighing in at over 270 pounds, but moving like a deer as an off-ball linebacker who could run, hit, and cover like a player 50 pounds lighter.
