All of them?

Aren't they going to run out of inductees? Lol. I was expecting like 4-5 a year.

Yeah they are ALL inductees lol. After this, they are going to 2-4 a year.

Deserved it more than a handful of the guys on the list IMO

Yes! One of the guys I saw not on that list and was like....hmmmm really?? He's one of the only guys to be a part of every Super Bowl victory.

I also cross referenced this list with the Steelers who are in the NFL Hall of Fame and every Steelers who is in the Hall of Fame was part of the first class of the Hall of Honor except for Bert Bell and four non-hall of famers were apart of the first class. Jack Ham, Andy Russell, Donnie Shell and Dick Hoak.

Jack Ham is in the HOF... LC Greenwood is not

There's no reason that Nunn shouldn't have been included in this first inaugural class in the HoH. Complete BS!!!

I think it's safe to say during that time era...if no Bill Dunn, there's probably no Steel Curtain which means probably no 4 SBs won in the 70s.

Yeah...big omission and one that I'm sure will get fixed at some point, but inaugural entry seemed fitting to me as well.
