CANTON, Ohio -- Colorful sack specialist Kevin Greene has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Greene grew up just across the river from St. Louis in Granite City, Illinois, and he attended Granite City South High School.
Always a showman who also spent some time as a professional wrestler, Greene's 160 sacks are third most in NFL history. In 15 pro seasons for four franchises, Greene played linebacker and defensive end.
Perhaps the most startling aspects of Greene's time with the Rams, Steelers, 49ers and Panthers were his durability and productivity. He missed just a dozen games, and 10 times finished with at least 10 sacks, including 12 with Carolina in his final season in 1999 at age 37.
Twice an All-Pro, Greene also became a linebackers coach in Green Bay from 2009-13.
Greene, 54, was presented by Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers.
