This is Enshrinement Weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the main event was the enshrinement ceremony for the 2011 Hall of Fame Inductees, which will take place Saturday night at Fawcett Stadium.
Seven men form the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2011, and while every class is special in its own right, this year’s class has some very well known household names. The 2011 Inductees are:
Defensive End Richard Dent was the Chicago Bears eighth round draft pick who went on to play eleven seasons with the club.
Running back Marshal Faulk started his career as the second overall draft pick and spent four years with the Colts and eight years with the Rams.
Linebacker Chris Hanburger spent his entire fourteen year career with the Redskins from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies.
From the mid-fifties linebacker Les Richter defended for the Los Angeles Rams.
Cornerback Deion Sanders moved a lot during his fourteen year career playing on five different teams: Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, Redskins, and Ravens.
At the beginning and end of his career tight end Shannon Sharpe played with the Broncos with a short stint with the Ravens in between.
The man behind the idea of NFL Films Ed Sabol had over a thirty year career pioneering the manner in which sports are presented.
