Rest In Peace to this legend! Honored he chose to be a part of the Panthers organization. You will be missed!
One of the greatest line backers ever, 160 sacks wow.
Steeler Nation loves you Kevin Greene . God Bless RIP 🙏
RIP Kevin Greene. You will be dearly missed. Kevin was an ambassador of the game and played with dignity and enthusiasm.
R.I.P. Mr, Green you were one of the nicest and funniest celebrities I ever got the chance to meet. You certainly scared the crap out of my manager that day when you pretended to put me in a sleeper hold. Gone but not forgotten
RIP HOFer Prayers sent to Steelers Nation!
Was a Ram for most of his career.
RIP KG.
All my childhood memories from Pittsburgh...
I met him last month here in Canton, Ohio. He was an awesome dude. He was a great, nice guy.He even autographed my football.
Kevin, you were one of the best, with a motor that never stopped. You were a character and always made us smile. RIP big man, you earned it!!
Thank you Kevin Greene. What an incredible speech. Gave us goose bumps. As a lifetime Los Angeles Rams fan, I was sad to see you go, but enjoyed seeing you play the game with so much intensity. Thank you for acknowledging everyone that made you who you are... from your Dad to your family to your football families. And also thank you for acknowledging our first responders, the men and women "that lay it on the line for all of us" (i.e. fire fighters, paramedics and Law Enforcement), and all of the military who serve and "stand tall for our beloved Country".
RIP Kevin... You were the absolute best!
a true warrior- yet extremely humble-- he will be missed! great man
Should've been in years ago! Respect to the legend kevin Greene!
Rest In Peace good man.
Kevin green a man of honor and respect and pride God bless
Kevin Greene is a wild man that always brought it with the Steelers. Honored and proud to have this man go in as a legendary Pittsburgh Steelers. Thank you!
Steel Legends yeah. Makes me think he should have been drafted outta Auburn in 85 to da stillers. Dude was a beast when we had him
get over yourself pal...his most productive seasons were with the Los Angeles Rams...
@@conni70 Greene represents the steelers in the Football hall of fame 🎤📈
Never won a ring in Pittsburgh. 👎🏼
@@piggyroo100 doesn't matter. He got a ring as a coach against the Steelers in 2010
Kevin was one of my favorite players growing up he was crazy but in a good way RIP
I appreciate the pop and form in his salute. His father taught him well.
Kevin was a Captain in US Army Reserve....
Damn straight, hooah
A Tanker, by God. We’ll meet on Fiddler’s Green one day. Rest In Peace...
Rip to a legend and a wonderful person 🖤💛
You'll be missed Kevin! Beautiful speech my main man.
Kevin Greene was the epitome of charisma., humbleness, and integrity.
that was all class lots of heart in that speech 👍👍
My he rest in peace . My the Lord give strength too his family. He was a awesome players 😢😢
In moments like these, I am proud to be a human again.
A very honorable and sincere speech.
And, nope he's not forgetting about the people who enabled him to walk his path and those who walked with him.
My deepest respect!
Kevin Greene was one of the best linebackers of his era with the Rams and Steelers he was a beast him, Greg Lloyd and Kirkland used to dominate in Pittsburgh way overdue especially when he's still third all-time in sacks but congratulations to kg
Thanks for the memories Kevin Greene my favorite Ram ever i named my only son after him and now he' 29 yo. I still have his 1989 L.A. Rams home jersey!
Way too young to leave this world.
Man was he fun to watch play.
Thank you Kevin Greene for playing the game the way it was meant to be played
RIP
RIP Kevin Greene. One of greatest pass rushers of all time.
it's ridiculous how long it took him and Chris doleman to make it to the hall. those 2 are definitely the best of the best of all the players who had to wait
Very cool finale to his speech.
Always Black & Gold. He was a Steeler long before he ever even arrived in town. It was in his blood, and he knew it as soon as he put on the uniform. Some players match to a city, an identity, a team - and for Greene - Pittsburgh was it.
As a fan, I was sad to see him go before his time. He was a perfect blend of tough and crazy, and was always positive, always a cheerleader for the team and for the fans.
I'm glad to see him get his due, and happy to see he remember his roots.
Outstanding speech by Kevin Greene! A true badass and all time NFL great.
Thank you for bringing your intensity, your commitment, your knowledge and your drive to a grateful Packer Nation! RIP!
That is a f------ Soldier right there!! Mr. Greene I salute you, sir!!
A very humble speech. This is great to see in this day and age. Thanks Kevin! You should have been in the HOF a lot sooner but glad it happened tonight!
War Damn Eagle, Kevin. Rest in peace and may God comfort your friends and family. Yours was a life well-lived. I always hoped you would come back to Auburn to coach.
I had a Kevin Greene Panthers jersey when I was a kid.
A humbling speech from a great player, a great character and a great person. Thank you for walking amongst us Mr. Greene. God bless you. Rest in Peace my brother...
Great player, Great man, AND Eagle Scout! Another fine member of the Steeler Nation gone home. Rest in Peace, Kevin. Never forgotten!😪
Such an incredible football player and wonderful person ! So sad to see him be taken at such a young age......he will be remembered and sorely missed.....may his family's pain eventually ease with this unbearable loss, but may Kevin's memory be cherished for years to come !
A lot of love and humility, and most importantly genuine appreciation for the people in his life.

Rest in peace legend🙏
Glad I got to watch him as a panther and see him go out on top. LEGEND.
His 3 yrs in 3 rivers were enough to get him there. Lloyd & greene: quiver and quake.
That has to be one of the best nicknames. Glad he got it in Pittsburgh but would have sounded cool if him and Lloyd had it in San Francisco cause they have earthquakes, and yes I know Greg didn't play with the 49ers. I sure hope Greg gets in one day becuz he was relentless. (AVOID LLOYD)
RIP... hell of linebacker. He and Greg Lloyd were beautiful together terrorizing qbs. Gone way too soon.
Rest In Peace, Kevin, I met you once and was impressed. Good man.
Such a class act. One of the all time greats that will surely forever be missed. RIP Mr. Greene!
Rip Kevin Greene one of the greatest panthers
Who's here after hearing about him passing?
Yes
Killed himself.. Coward..Kevin killed himself like a coward he was. Thats how he is remembered...Gay too !
@@9496453217 how do you know
I only realised when reading these comments. I am shocked to my core. One of my fav Steelers of all time. Very, very sad, this is a huge loss.
@@9496453217
He suffered a heart attack.
Wow, what a class act! RIP Kevin Greene #91, I still wear your Steelers jersey proudly!
Best Panthers Linebacker ever. Kuechly is damn good, but KG was always my favorite growing up. One of the main reason I started following Carolina and I never looked back.
Unlike a lot of athletes, the guy was still amazing in his final year. He wanted to go out strong, he did. RIP Kevin Greene.
Sorry to hear about his passing 😢
World lost a great man sad day prayers to the family
RIP Kevin Greene
From a packers fan, thanks for ur coaching contributions!!!!
Rest in peace an amazing player and a great human being
I love him from the four horsemen days in wcw rip, so young!!!!
His testament to his dad is a eye-waterer!
It was an exciting time to be a Steeler fan --- Tomlin will never be Cowher. Miss those days and those players. Kirkland Lloyd, Woodson.
don't forget Carnell Lake
One of greatest linebackers ever giving one of the best HOF speeches ever. RIP Lean Mean Kevin Greene #Blitzburgh #160sacks
All the 90's Steelers needed was a Big Ben and it could've been a dynasty. That defense was insane when you look at the players they had.
good comment, agree.
RIP legend! Blitzburgh lives on
Kevin Greene epitomized the ‘Blitzburgh’ defense… but I was so happy to see him come play for Dom in Carolina. He was in the backfield on EVERY play his number was called. A motor that ran on HIGH and a RELENTLESS pursuit… I mean RELENTLESS. Kevin wasn’t the fastest, nor the biggest but he had a heart and a motor that out lasted the sheer will and determination of any other opponent he was up against. 160 sacks (3rd NFL all time).. not bad for a walk-on punter at Auburn
What a great speech. He was such a high energy, dominant player while I was growing up. RIP Mr Greene. You did it the right way!!!!
my fav compliment when listening to others talk about athletes, he made everyone better
One of the most underrated linebackers of all time. Most sacks by a linebacker all time as wel.
Not only the loss of a great player, but the loss of a great man.
I remember his last game with the Steelers, at the end of the game he went around the stadium on a jeep or golf cart and just waved goodbye to the fans and the city that loved him!
RIP
The greatest outside linebacker of our generation!!
God bless Kevin Greene! I was fortunate enough to have season tickets with the Rams when he came in to the league. So glad he made it to the HOF. #91
How could you not like and respect this man!!!
Kevin Greene revolutionized the position.
Loved him lifelong Bengals fan saw him kick our ass a lot. My favorite Kevin Greene moment was when he was with the Carolina Panthers & he his coach was getting on them on the bench & he said something to Greene & Greene went crazy they had to hold him back from going after him.
Kevin Greene came thru the camera as a great human being plus he was a bad ass football player
Steeler nation loves you and thank you 🙏 rip
The late Kevin Green what a legand and a good linebacker coach hallfamer Superbowl winner and coach from a browns fan rest in peace playing in heaven
One of my favorite Steelers of all time, while playing for my favorite defensive team of any era, period.
RIP Big Fella, you were ferocious AND a class act.
Glad he Won a SuperBowl Ring with The Packers as the Linebackers Coach Against the Steelers that he used to played for and well deserved HOF Jacket Ring and Plague
Pittsburgh has been blessed with so many great linebackers.
he still looks like he wants to tackle someone.
And he probably still could hahaha
He is now sacking qb's in heaven
Rest in Eternal Peace Kevin!!!!
Rip
As an Nfl AND a former pro wrestling fan
Dammit I'm gonna miss you man.
You are always so humble and so gracious for every opportunity that you had.
So giving and so lovable and so loved by everybody
What a great acceptance speech. Thank you Kevin. R.I.P.
Rip Kevin man 🥺
Rip a legend
Time is such a strange thing. Seeing footage of these men in their youth in their prime and now seeing them recall those days with that glimmer in their eye really makes my heart heavy...even though they accomplished all that they set out to do, they would give anything to go back 25 years and just play one drive in their youthful body. I love the players from the 80s and 90s era when i was a kid...they gave us their best years.
RIP Kevin Greene. You are legendary
Rest in peace legend
Who’s hear after tony romo told you to watch this
I thought it was jim nantz but yeah, that's me lol
two months later finally have time to watch this. totally deserved it.
The man KG arguably one of our best LB in the 414 ever!
What an awesome talent and Man! RIP Kevin. 😢
Mr Green you made it but Greg Loyal should be there with you.
So glad that Kevin Greene is in the NFL Hall Of Fame! Now The NFL needs to induct his partner in crime Greg Lloyd in The Hall Of Fame! 💯
Thank you Mr Greene and Mr Lloyd,💎💎
Greatest Hall of Speech ever.
RIP Kevin Greene....what a great NFL team he will be playing with all of those we have lost....such sad news today 12.21.20
loved him on the panthers !
You don't get a better football player and human being then KEVIN GREENE WE LOVE YOU KEVIN MAY GOD HOLD YOU NOW YOU DID YOUR WORK!! UNBELIEVABLE CHARACTER THIS MAN!!
RIP Lengend one the best to do it youll be missed🙏
