Throughout his 13-year career as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, defensive end Aaron Smith was often overlooked and largely underrated in the larger picture of the league itself.
Within the Steelers organization and within the fanbase itself, it was known just how great Smith was as a 3-4 defensive end. That recognition from the organization and the fanbase culminated in Smith being named to the Steelers’ Hall of Honor as a member of the Class of 2023 Saturday.
Speaking with host Bob Pompeani following the announcement Saturday inside the Fred Rogers Institute at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Smith called the honor a very humbling one, and is grateful for his place in Steelers history.
