PITTSBURGH -- Longtime team broadcaster and former offensive tackle Tunch Ilkin is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2021 Hall of Honor class, the team announced Saturday.
Ilkin, who played for the Steelers from 1980-92, was diagnosed with ALS in December and retired from his role as an analyst with the team broadcast in June to focus on his fight against the disease.
"Obviously, we're all thinking and praying for Tunch every day," team president and owner Art Rooney II said. "And so to have him part of the class this year, it makes it even more special.
