Ever since the Pittsburgh Steelers became one of the most dominant franchises in the NFL, they’ve always had all-time greats on their defense. And often, those greats came at the outside linebacker position. From Jack Ham in the 1970s to Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, and then to Jason Gildon, Joey Porter, James Harrison, and now T.J. Watt, it’s a position that has a long lineage of greatness in Pittsburgh.
Porter was inducted into the Steelers Hall of Honor as one of three inductees in the class of 2025, along with C Maurkice Pouncey and QB Ben Roethlisberger.
