Every year on Super Bowl eve, the NFL announces who gets enshrined into the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Seven guys made the cut this year. An impressive list of guys who made football what it is off and on the field. Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Richard Dent, Ed Sabol, Shannon Sharpe, Les Richter and Chris Hanburger, got the nod this season.
Sanders, known as "Primetime" starred on the field as an shutdown cornerback and kick returner. He played for five teams during 14 seasons in the NFL. He was an 8-time Pro Bowler and currently works for the NFL Network.
Faulk, another guy who works for the NFL Network now as an analyst, started slow in the NFL. He began a 12-year career as an member of the Indianapolis Colts, before getting traded to St. Louis. Faulk is one of three players in NFL history to have 10,000 rushing yards, and 5,000 receiving yards.
One of the greatest linebackers in Chicago Bears history if not NFL history, Dent played 14 seasons. Ten of these years were spent with Chicago. He was part of the great Bears defense who destroyed New England, 46-10 in the 1985 Super Bowl. Dent played with five teams during his career.
The king of NFL Films, Ed Sabol makes the Hall of Fame. He started NFL Films in 1964 and lasted there until 1995. Sabol, did great work for the NFL adding the off- the field element to the game, furthering it along by the media.
Sharpe works as an CBS analyst, currently, starred as an tight end in the NFL. Sharpe, won two Super Bowls with Denver and John Elway. He was the first tight end ever to get over 10,000 receiving yards, and made the position what it is now.
