Kevin Greene, one of the more recognizable and popular players of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ renaissance in the 1990s, died at age 58.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame was among those announcing the death of the Hall of Fame outside linebacker who spent three of his 15 NFL seasons as part of a feared Steelers defense from 1993-95.
Easy to spot because of the long blonde hair flowing out of the back of his helmet, Greene combined with Greg Lloyd to form one the NFL’s most dominant pass-rushing duos of that era. Two of Greene’s five Pro Bowl honors and one of his two All-Pro nods came with the Steelers, who advanced to Super Bowl XXX during his final season with the team.
A cause of death was not immediately reported.
