Steelers legend Jack Ham is in a Seattle hospital after a medical emergency
Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham, 77, was taken to a Seattle hospital Saturday after a medical emergency before Penn State's game at Washington.
Penn State's longtime radio voice is in the hospital.
Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham suffered a medical emergency on Saturday in Seattle and was taken to the University of Washington Medical Center, Penn State said in a statement. The school did not share any details about the 77-year-old's condition.
Ham has been the radio analyst for his alma mater since 2000. The Nittany Lions are in Seattle to face Washington on Saturday night.
A cornerstone of the Steel Curtain
Ham spent his entire NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He won four Super Bowls, was a six-time All-Pro and made eight Pro Bowls.
He was named to the NFL's 1970s All-Decade Team and to the all-time teams of both the league and the Steelers. Pittsburgh also has him in its Hall of Honor.
Penn State through and through
The Johnstown, Pennsylvania, native was an All-American at Penn State in 1970. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988 and the College Football Hall of Fame two years later.
No further update on Ham's condition had been released as of Saturday evening.
