I think it's safe to say that Ben Roethlisberger is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. After leading the Pittsburgh Steelers on offense for nearly the last two.
Harrison’s all-time sack numbers aren’t as lofty as some of the other notable names on the list given the fact that he took a while to get his NFL career off the ground. Another name that deserves consideration for the Hall of Fame for Pittsburgh is OLB James Harrison. Harrison overcame long-odds as a UDFA, being cut multiple times from the Steelers and Ravens during his early years in the league and taking some time playing overseas with the Rhein Fire before latching onto Pittsburgh’s roster in 2004. Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and thanks again for reading! Since the NFL doesn’t allow a first-ballot Hall of Famer to enshrined until he has been retired for at least five seasons before being elected, Roethlisberger will be first up as a potential candidate for the HOF Class of 2027. Personally, having the 14th-most receptions (1,000), the 27th-most receiving yards (12,083), and tied for 16th-most receiving TDs (85) in NFL history warrants serious consideration. Greenwood was a dominant player allow the defensive line for Pittsburgh back in the 70s, being a key cog in the original Steel Curtain alongside “Mean” Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Donnie Shell, and Mel Blount. Still, Greenwood doesn’t get the respect he deserves, as fellow contributor Josh Carney wonderfully laid out here at Steelers Depot.
