(Pittsburgh, PA) The late Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman L.C. Greenwood has now made it as one of three finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 in the seniors category after a recent round of voting from people from the museum located in Canton, Ohio. Greenwood was a four-time Super Bowl Champion who played all thirteen of his NFL seasons with the Steelers. Greenwood, along with both former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson and former running back for the Los Angeles Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers, Rodger Craig, received this honor. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft also became a Pro Football Hall of Fame 2026 finalist as a contributor and Bill Belichick, who was the head coach for both the Cleveland Browns and the New England Patriots before becoming the head coach for the University of North Carolina college football team in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, became a finalist for this class as a coach. These finalists would need approval from 80% of the selection committee from the Pro Football Hall of Fame to be inducted and no more than three of the five finalists can be chosen. According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: “If none of the five individuals receives 80% approval, then the individual who receives the most support would be elected to the Class of 2026.”
