Hall of Honor welcomes a quartet of champions

The Steelers celebrated their rich history when they inducted four members into the Hall of Honor Class of 2023.

The legendary group includes James Harrison, the late Ray

Mansfield, Gerry ‘Moon’ Mullins, and Aaron Smith. As a whole, they were a part of an amazing 10 Super Bowl Championships that represent the greatness through decades of the Steelers football.

“It’s always special. It’s four great Steelers,” said Art Rooney II. “Two different teams, two Super Bowl teams, two different eras. It’s great to see guys like them who really deserve to be recognized. It’s great to see they realize it’s special. It’s special to them. It’s fun to honor them and see them all go in.”

Friends, family members and former teammates gathered at the UPMC Club at Acrisure Stadium for the event, which was presented by U.S. Steel.

“I am coaching boys now, and I say it all the time, it doesn’t matter what you accomplish in life if you don’t have people to share it with,” said Smith.

“The fact that teammates that I have great love and friendshipit with, it doesn’t really matter. That’s what makes it special, sharing and enjoying those successes together.
