The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s won four Super Bowls and have ten members in the Football Hall of Fame, suggesting they are well represented in Canton. However, many in Western Pennsylvania feel the black and yellow is missing a major name: L.C. Greenwood.

From the HBCU school of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Greenwood proved to be a steal as the 238^th Pick in 1969.  A Steeler his entire career, Greenwood was a member of the famous Steel Curtain and played a crucial role in the Steelers' success, helping them win four Super Bowls in five years. With six Pro Bowl selections, he was a formidable opponent for quarterbacks and had a significant impact on the game. Although sacks were not yet an official statistic, Greenwood recorded five of them in his four Super Bowl appearances. He was a tall, speedy defender who seemed to be everywhere on the field and engulfed everything he touched

Despite being a Hall of Fame finalist six times, Greenwood has not yet been inducted. If another player from the 1970s Steelers team is inducted, it has to be L.C. Greenwood.  Pittsburgh has acknowledged Greenwood in its Hall of Honor and All-Time Team.  He remains mentioned in senior committee circles and still has an outside shot.

Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense is a popular football strategy today. Despite its name, Ken Anderson first ran it in Cincinnati. Anderson spent his entire career with the Bengals, where he set franchise passing records. He was known for his incredible accuracy and mastery of the short-yardage pass. Anderson led the league in Quarterback Rating four times, and in 1982, he set a season record (which he still holds) with a 70.6% completion percentage. Although he made it to the Super Bowl, his team lost, but he still played brilliantly.

Unfortunately, Anderson played during a time when flashy quarterbacks were more highly regarded, and despite his skills, he did not receive the recognition he deserved. He has been a Hall of Fame finalist only twice, which further illustrates this point. Considering that Anderson did not have the same caliber of weapons as other quarterbacks of his era, his stats are even more impressive than they might initially seem.

For many, Anderson might be the most egregious quarterback snub of all time.

Yeah, we know.  He barely won any matches and was a career curtain jerker.  But aren’t those wrestlers necessary to make others look good?  Nobody, was a longer glorified jobber and sent more people to the pay window than Steve Lombardi; the Brooklyn Brawler.

A lot of people only remember General Adnan as the Iraqi mouthpiece of Sgt. Slaughter during the former G.I. Joe pitchman’s run as an Iraqi sympathizer.  Adnan didn’t wrestle much during that final National run, but that wasn’t his role at the time.  With that said, Adnan wrestled a lot more in the past than most people realized.
