"Steve McMichael and Others Inducted into 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class"

The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2024 includes Julius Peppers, Dwight Freeney, Patrick Willis, Randy Gradishar, Andre Johnson, Devin Hester, and Steve McMichael, but former Pittsburgh Steelers Hines Ward and James Harrison were not inducted. However, the selection of two pass rushers and a wide receiver bodes well for their future chances. Harrison, known for his impressive career with the Steelers, has a strong case for the Class of 2025, while Ward, celebrated for his blocking skills and career with the Steelers, faces tough competition but has improved positioning with Johnson's induction.
