A Long Connection With Penn State
Ham has worked as the radio analyst for his alma mater since 2000. His connection to the school goes back many years. He played as a linebacker for Penn State and earned All America selection in 1970.
His successful college career eventually led to major national recognition. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990, two years after he received his honour from the professional hall of fame.
Glory Days With The Pittsburgh Steelers
Before moving into broadcasting, Ham put together a legendary professional career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Johnstown, Pennsylvania, native played a huge role for the franchise, winning four Super Bowl championships during his tenure.
Over his time in the professional league, Ham earned six All Pro selections and made eight Pro Bowl appearances. His consistency and performance placed him among the best players of his era.
Recognised Among The Greats
Ham achieved the highest individual honours in the sport. He was officially voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.
He was also selected to the NFL 1970s all decade team. His legacy includes spots on the official all time teams for both the entire NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Additionally, the Steelers have included Ham in their official Hall of Honor.
