The Pro Football Hall of Fame released the list of 162 Senior Player Nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026, and the Steelers have multiple players on the list.
Among those on the list are L.C. Greenwood, Greg Lloyd, Lionel Taylor and Byron 'Whizzer' White.
To be considered as a Senior nominee, players couldn't have appeared in a game since the 2000 season.
A screening committee will reduce the list to 50, before it is further reduced to three Senior finalists.
More from the Hall of Fame:
The roster of nominees consists of 90 offensive players, 67 defensive players and five special teamers. The Seniors Screening Committee, an entity created in 2025 to add additional input around the overall selection process, will reduce the list to 50 players (plus ties, if any, for the 50th spot) over the next few weeks.
Once the Seniors Screening Committee has completed its work, the separate Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee will make additional reductions in several increments. In late fall, the Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee will select three Seniors as Finalists for possible election with the Class of 2026.
