Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is one of two seniors nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

LeBeau joins Floyd Little as the two nominees of the senior committee and will join 15 modern day candidates as finalists. The modern-day finalists have yet to be chosen.

LeBeau, 71, has been in the NFL either as a coach or player for 51 years. He still holds the NFL record for playing in 171 consecutive games as a cornerback and is tied for seventh in NFL history with 62 career interceptions. At the time of his retirement with the Detroit Lions, Lebeau was third in career interceptions. He also appeared in three Pro Bowls.
