Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Pittsburgh Steelers of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

After looking at the 2020 Season, we have one new entry, and three slight increases.

As always, we present our top five immediately.

1. Joe Greene

2. Jack Lambert

3. Mike Webster

4. Franco Harris

5. Jack Ham

You can find the entire list here.

The recently retired Offensive Lineman, Maurkice Pouncey, moved up one spot to #22.

Right Guard, David DeCastro, climbed one rung to #29. 

Defensive End, Cameron Heyward went up by four to #45.

Three-time Pro Bowl and two-time First Team All-Pro Linebacker, T.J. Watt, debuts at #46.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

When you are the younger brother of J.J. Watt, a large shadow is cast over you.  T.J. Watt has done a great job escaping it.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives. Eventually, we are going to get to that of the Division I schools, and conferences.  As such, it is news to us that the University of Iowa has announced ten new members to their Athletic Hall of Fame.

The ten new members are:

Roy Marble Jr., Men’s Basketball 1986-89.  Marble scored 2,116 career Points, and held the school record until this past season.  He was a three-time All-Big Ten Selection, and a former Big Ten Freshman of the Year.  He would play briefly for Atlanta in the NBA.

Ed Podolak, Football 1966-68.  Podolak rushed for 937 Yards and eight Touchdowns in 1968 and was named the team MVP that year.  He would later play nine ears in the NFL for Kansas City where he was a member of the Super Bowl IV winning team.  Podolak returned to Iowa Football as an analyst for their radio broadcasts.

Frank “Kinney” Holbrook, Football & Track & Field 1895-97.  Holbrook was the first African-American athlete in school history, and he lettered in both Football and Track.  He had 12 Touchdowns in 1896, and helped the Hawkeyes win a share of the Western Interstate University Football Association Championship.

Dan Bachman, Men’s Gymnastics 1982-86.  Bachman was a seven-time Big-Ten Champion and three-time All-American.  He would lead Iowa to a Big Ten Championship in 1986.

Kari Hamel, Women’s Volleyball 1985-89.  Hamel took Iowa to their first ever NCAA Championships in 1989.  She was a two-time First Team All-Big Ten Selection and was named to the 1980s All-Decade Team in the Big Ten.

Kristi Hanks, Softball 1999-2002.  Hanks was a three-time Big Ten Selection, two-time Big Ten Pitcher of the Year and took the Hawkeyes to a College World Series appearance in 2001.

Diane Nukuri, Track & Field 2006-08. Nukuri won the 2007 Big Ten Cross Country Title and would be a three-time All-American.  She set eight school records, and would compete in three Olympic Games for Burundi.

Fred Mims, Administrator.  Mims was the Athletic Administrator for 38 Years.

The class will be inducted on September 3, 2021, the day before the Hawkeyes open their Football Season against Indiana.

We would like to congratulate the newest members of the University of Iowa Athletic Hall of Fame.

As always, we present our top five immediately.

1. Anthony Munoz

2. Ken Anderson
