The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of members of their organization enshrined forever in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. There are so many Steelers busts in those hallowed halls many who vote on who gets in, and is left out, think there are too many Steelers in the Hall of Fame.
That is what we like to call the Steelers bias.
Nonetheless, there are two prominent figures vying for induction in 2021, and with the vote/announcement just around the corner, members of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee spoke on behalf of those who are hoping to get the good news phone call in just a few weeks.
For the Steelers, the two who are finalists to be inducted in the Class of 2021 are Alan Faneca and Bill Nunn. Faneca has been a finalist the past several years, with this being Nunn’s first time being considered for induction.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame shared the video of the Committee members speaking for those involved, and you can see the two speeches below:
