Behind the Steel Curtain
The Steelers legendary quarterback highlights the 2025 Hall of Honor class
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to begin their third training camp practice. Ahead of that, though, the team revealed the three players who will make up the 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor class.
The 2025 class will feature linebacker Joey Porter, center Maurkice Pouncey, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Porter was drafted in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft out of Colorado State. In eight seasons with the Steelers, he was a three-time All-Pro, including being named First-Team All-Pro in 2002. Porter had 60 sacks in his time with the Steelers and helped Pittsburgh win Super Bowl XL.
Pouncey was Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2010. He was arguably the best center of his era, and his accolades reflect that. The Florida product was a nine-time Pro Bowler, a two-time First-Team All-Pro, and is a member of the 2010s All-Decade Team.
Roethlisberger was drafted in the first round in 2004. He won Offensive Rookie of the Year after going 13-0 as a starter and led the Steelers to the AFC Championship Game. In Year Two, he became the youngest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl at 23 years old. Roethlisberger won another Super Bowl in 2008, cementing himself as one of the best quarterbacks of his era just five seasons into his career. He retired with 418 touchdowns and 64,088 yards, both of which rank top 10 all-time.
