The Pittsburgh Steelers now are tied for the third-most players, coaches and executives associated with the team inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, following the Saturday announcement of the elections of guard Alan Faneca and scout Bill Nunn to the Class of 2021.

There have been 32 members of the Steelers voted into the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio since the inaugural class in 1963.

The Chicago Bears have had the most individuals enshrined, with 37. The Los Angeles Rams are second with 35. The Green Bay Packers are also tied at third with 32 honored individuals after Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was also voted into the Class of 2021. Tied with the Packers and Steelers at third-most with 32 are the New York Giants and Washington.

The Steelers have had five individuals honored in the last two years, with Faneca and Nunn joining Class of 2020 members Bill Cowher, Troy Polamalu and Donnie Shell.

Both classes will be enshrined this August in Canton, as the Class of 2020’s ceremony last summer was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Steelers are scheduled face the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the annual kickoff to the NFL season at Canton’s Tom Benson Stadium.
