Steelers legend L.C. Greenwood is the closest he’s ever been to a gold jacket following the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Wednesday announcement of 2026 finalists.

Greenwood was named one of three finalists from the “seniors” category, joining Ken Anderson and Roger Craig. Two other finalists were announced: Robert Kraft (contributor) and Bill Belichick (coach).

Greenwood, a defensive end, played 170 career games and recorded 78 sacks during his time with the Steelers, winning four Super Bowls as a key member of Pittsburgh’s 1970s dynasty. He was a two-time All-Pro, six-time Pro Bowler, and a member of the Hall of Fame’s own All-1970s team.

Greenwood died in 2013 at the age of 67. He was posthumously enshrined in the inaugural class of the Steelers’ Hall of Honor in 2017.
