Congrats to Dick LeBeau; Member of the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame


Congrats to all those elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame today, but of course black and gold fans should be very happy for defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, who was elected today along with Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith, Floyd Little, Ricky Jackson, former Steeler coordinator Russ Grimm, and John Randle.

LeBeau is considered one of pro football’s great defensive innovators as a coach. But he was voted in for his outstanding work for the Lions from 1959-72. LeBeau finished with 62 interceptions, second among cornerbacks when he retired.

“They say anything worth having is worth waiting on,” LeBeau said. “It has been a long wait. I can’t imagine anything else that could be any more rewarding.”

It’ll be great to have Steeler colors represent LeBeau, though his playing career was with the Lions. Congrats Dick!
