gold star for USAHOF

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, so this results in a long push to revise what we already have; specifically, now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the seventh ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 61 to 70:

61. Rod Smith
62. John Abraham
63. Larry Grantham
64. Mike Kenn
65. Greg Lloyd
66. Marshall Goldberg
67. Gary Clark
68. Rosey Grier
69. Henry Ellard
70. Darren Woodson

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Greg Lloyd played all but his last season in professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was an incredible accomplishment for a player at Fort Valley State.

71. Greg Lloyd

Linebackers are built to strike fear in Quarterbacks.  Greg Lloyd seemed destined to strike fear in virtually everyone around him.

Many in the press corps found Greg Lloyd controversial, but fans in the Steel City loved him.  The same was said for General Managers and Coaches who loved his hard-nosed play.  Lloyd led the Steelers defense and spread his skills evenly against the pass and run.  He was an absolute nightmare for Offensive Coordinators who may have feared him as much as their players did.

It is often said that Lloyd was good enough to have received even more accolades than he did, but his acrimonious relationship with the media did him no favors in that department.  This can only hurt his Hall of Fame chances.

Should Greg Lloyd be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 83.5%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 9.8%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 3.6%
No opinion. - 0.9%
No way! - 2.2%
