Before they played key roles for the Pittsburgh Steelers across a number of seasons in the NFL, guys like Levon Kirkland, Antwaan Randle El, and Flozell Adams were starring for their respective collegiate programs in the ACC and the Big Ten.
Now, more than two decades later, all three former Steelers are on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot as finalists for the Class of 2022, which was announced June 2.
Kirkland, Randle El and Adams are just three of 78 finalists, which will be inducted into the CFB Hall of Fame during the 64th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Dec.
