So underrated. Great to hear Aaron made it to the hall of honor!

Aaron Smith was definitely underrated. I remember watching games in the early 2000’s and you could hear from the announcers, Smith for the stop, Smith for the pressure. He even had timely sacks alongside Casey when the defense was all about the linebackers. The 34 defense was made for linebackers to get free, but our defensive line was that good to get their own. You definitely deserve this. Congratulations Aaron, one of the best!

Awesome...you were easily the most underrated player year in and year out. You deserved much more recognition. Our D Line back then was unreal. Congrats...well deserved!

THE KEYSTONE OF THAT DEFENSE!!!! Dick Lebeau had nothing but great things to say about him

[AlBeQuirky]

Well deserved and such an underappreciated player on that D-line, especially outside of Pittsburgh. 91

Fantastic player -great against the run and always gave a nice pass rush especially for a 3-4 lineman.

Big Aaron Smith!!
Dude was a big guy!! 300 pd DE who could move like a guy 50lbs lighter!! No doubt he was a great asset to the team!

He's a good guy. We went to school with each other. Hell, we used to play football at recess in 2nd grade. I have nothing bad to say about him.

[bordy]

Well deserved. The quiet star of all those dominant defenses.

Another Great player that was kind of forgotten about on a Great D !! Thrilled to hear this, he completely earned this !!🎉

[dbcooper]

Too many good players on his team masked how great he was. He would easily start in this current team.

[sdresden]

Well deserved. Big Aaron the original "Diesel' playing next to Casey anchored some of the best Steeler Defensive units in team history. Prototype total package 3-4 end in his prime.

[georgecoull]
