Pittsburgh Steelers legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jack Ham has been hospitalized following a medical emergency, according to reports on Saturday.

The former linebacker, who played his entire 12-year NFL career with the Steelers from 1971 to 1982, was reportedly taken to a hospital for treatment. Details about his condition have not been released.

Ham, a six-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl selection, was a key member of the Steelers' dynasty that won four Super Bowls in the 1970s. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988.

A photograph from September 13, 2025, showed Ham walking the field before an NCAA college football game between Penn State and Villanova in State College, Pennsylvania.
