No surprise Kevin Greene wants HOF ring at Heinz
By Tony Defeo -
July 15, 2016
If you’re a Los Angeles Rams fan, you might be a little surprised right now, knowing that Kevin Greene, who played outside linebacker for your favorite football team from 1985-1992 and recorded 72.5 of his career 160 sacks and will be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame later this summer, wants to have his official ring ceremony take place at Heinz Field next season.
It has to be kind of deflating, especially coming on the heels of the euphoria you might have been feeling following the Rams move back to L.A. after spending the past 21 years displaced in St. Louis.
Greene not only played perhaps his prime years with the Rams; those years were also spent in the City of Angels.
To tell you the truth, I was a little surprised myself to learn that Greene, who spent three years with the Steelers in the 1990s after coming over from Los Angeles as a free agent, wants to have his official ceremony take place in Pittsburgh and that he considers himself “always a Steeler.”
Greene left as a free-agent after Pittsburgh’s heartbreaking loss to the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX following the ’95 season and spent the last four years of his career with both the Panthers and 49ers, where he recorded the final 52 of his 160 sacks. In other words, Greene had a lot of stops along the way during his 15-year, Canton-bound career, and only 20 percent of those years were spent with the Steelers, with whom he recorded less than a quarter of his sacks (35.5).
Yeah, so I can see why a Rams fan would be surprised (picture Wade Boggs going into Cooperstown as a Yankee or Ray).
But it’s true.
