Ben Roethlisberger, Maurkice Pouncey and Joey Porter Sr. will be inducted into the Pittsburgh Steelers' Hall of Honor at halftime of a Dec. 15 'Monday Night Football' game against the visiting Miami Dolphins.

Pouncey was the center for star quarterback Roethlisberger for 11 seasons from 2010-20 while Porter was a stellar linebacker for Pittsburgh from 1999-2006. Roethlisberger played for the Steelers from 2004-21 and guided the squad to two Super Bowl victories.

'It's special,' Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a news release. 'Just to welcome a group of guys that mean so much to Steelers football, mean so to our fans. These three guys made a difference for us over the course of their careers. This group is a pretty special group and belong in there with the rest of them.'

Porter was in attendance for the announcement, made Saturday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.

'It's called the Hall of Honor for a reason,' Porter said. 'It's an honor to be in it. To be mentioned with all the guys that played before that are in the Hall of Honor is special. Being in Pittsburgh, you know the tradition of what it means to play for the Steelers.

'So just to be always mentioned amongst the greats, that's what makes it amazing. It's an honor.'

Porter is the son of current Pittsburgh cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

The elder Porter was a three-time Pro Bowl pick and won a Super Bowl during his team with the Steelers.

Roethlisberger was a six-time Pro Bowl selection. He holds or shares at least 52 franchise regular-season records and 18 postseason marks.

Pouncey spent his entire career with the Steelers and was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection.
