Born September 8, 1946, in Canton, Mississippi, was legendary Defensive Tackle L.C. Greenwood. L.C. was selected in round ten of the 1969 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the same Draft that the team took Joe Greene with the fourth overall selection.

Greenwood stood 6 ft 6 in, tipped the scales at 245 pounds, was a six-time Pro Bowl player, and was named to NFL All-Pro teams in 1974 and 1975. L.C. was All-AFC five times. He also led the Steelers six times in sacks with a career total of 78. His gold-colored shoes made him stand out, along with his ferocious play.

This legend helped make the Steel Curtain one of the most vaunted defenses of all time and helped the Steelers franchise capture four Super Bowl Victories.
