Four former Pittsburgh Steelers greats found themselves among the 162 senior players nominated by the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the Class of 2026 Thursday.
Four-time Super Bowl champion and member of the Steel Curtain, L.C. Greenwood, was among those four players. So, too, is former outside linebacker Greg Lloyd, running back Byron “Whizzer” White, and former wide receivers coach Lionel Taylor, who was a standout receiver for the Denver Broncos.
Taylor died August 6 at the age of 89. He was the wide receivers coach under Chuck Noll for the Super Bowl victories in 1974 and 1975, having joined Noll’s staff in 1970 and remaining there until the 1977 season before leaving for the Rams.
