Steelers set to celebrate 2024 Hall of Honor class in Week 14 matchup

Steelers legends Jason Gildon, Casey Hampton, Dick LeBeau, and Willie Parker will be honored at halftime for their incredible contributions.

Legends of the Black and Gold will be honored during halftime of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ matchup against the Cleveland Browns. LB Jason Gildon, NT Casey Hampton, DC Dick LeBeau, and RB Willie Parker, the 2024 Steelers Hall of Honor class, will be celebrated for their remarkable contributions to Pittsburgh football.

Hampton anchored the Steelers’ defense from 2001 to 2012, earning five Pro Bowl selections and helping secure two Super Bowl championships.

Gildon terrorized opposing quarterbacks, racking up 77 career sacks, the fourth most in franchise history, during his tenure from 1994 to 2003.

LeBeau, as defensive coordinator from 1995 to 1996 and 2004 to 2014, orchestrated one of the NFL’s all-time great defenses, leading Pittsburgh to Super Bowl victories in SB XL and SB XLIII.

Parker’s blazing speed defined the Steelers’ ground game, highlighted by his record-setting 75-yard rushing touchdown in Super Bowl XL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn’t be the same beloved Black and Gold symbol of excellence we all know and love without the efforts of Gildon, Hampton, LeBeau, and Parker.  Here is to celebrating what they have accomplished in the Steel City.

4 legends join Steelers Hall of Honor in 2024 class

Here is the 2024 Steelers class of the Hall of Honor.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the four members of its 2024 class of the Hall of Honor. This included three former players and one former coach.

The 2024 class includes former linebacker Jason Gildon, former defensive tackle Casey Hampton and former running back Willie Parker. The fourth member is former Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.

If you want to see the group enshrined, here is the information from the team’s press release:

The Steelers will welcome the 2024 Hall of Honor Class when the team takes on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Dec. 8, which includes an on-field presentation during the game. The Hall of Honor Dinner will be held on Sat., Dec. 7, when the team officially inducts this year’s Hall of Honor class during a special ceremony at Acrisure Stadium.

These four’s resumes speak for themselves. Gildon is easily one of the five best pass rushers in franchise history while former defensive tackle Casey Hampton might be the most underrated player on some of the best defensive units of all time.

We ranked Parker as our No. 4 Steelers running back of all time. His place in Steelers lore as the running mate with Jerome Bettis. His big plays in big moments will always stand out.
