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 will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be inducting Ben Roethlisberger, Joey Porter, and Maurkice Pouncey to their Hall of Honor this year.
The trio will be formally inducted during the Steelers' home game against the Miami Dolphins on December 15.
Roethlisberger was Pittsburgh’s Quarterback from 2004 to 2021, where he led them to two Super Bowl wins. A six-time Pro Bowl Selection, “Big Ben” threw for 64,088 Yards and 418 Touchdowns, and was a two-time leader in Passing Yards. He has an excellent chance to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame when eligible.
Porter played his first eight seasons with the Steelers, where the Outside Linebacker went to three Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl. He compiled 60 Sacks and 10 Interceptions for Pittsburgh and was also a three-time All-Pro (one First Team and two Second Team).
Pouncey played all ten of his seasons with the Steelers, and the Center was a nine-time Pro Bowl and two-time First Team All-Pro. He started all 134 of his Games and was one of the top Centers of the 2010s.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Ben Roethlisberger, Joey Porter, and Maurkice Pouncey for their impending honor.
A backup as a rookie in 1999, Joey Porter became the Pittsburgh Steelers starting Right Outside Linebacker in his second season, and it would not take long for the pass-rusher to capture the hearts of the Steelers fanbase.
