Pittsburgh Steelers legend L.C. Greenwood has once again been snubbed from selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.


The Hall of Fame seniors committee narrowed the field for its selection process in the Class of 2025 from 60 to 31, and Greenwood was among those cut from the list.

Greenwood is the most-decorated member of the 1970s Steelers who has not yet been enshrined in Canton, Ohio. A 10th-round draft pick out of Arkansas Pine-Bluff in 1969, Greenwood became a starter in his third season and then spent another 10 as the team’s stalwart at left defensive end.

He was a four-time Super Bowl champion, a six-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro. Greenwood was a member of the NFL 1970s All-Decade Team, and is already a member of the Steelers Hall of Honor.

Though sacks were not official NFL statistics until 1983, research by Pro Football Reference credits Greenwood with 78 in his career, the fourth-most in franchise history.

Greenwood retired in 1981 and died from kidney failure in 2013 at the age of 67.

Former Steelers linebacker Andy Russell and quarterback Jack Kemp were also among those removed from selection. Former Steelers kicker Norm Johnson, defensive lineman Eugene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb, defensive back Mike Wagner and running back Byron “Whizzer” White were previously trimmed from the initial list of 182 candidates.

The 31 players remaining in contention will be further narrowed to nine semifinalists and then one finalist, which will be voted upon by the entire panel of Hall of Fame voters at the Super Bowl in February.
