On Saturday, seven of the greatest players in NFL history were inducted into the National football League Hall of Fame. Those seven are:
Jerry Rice, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers who is the NFL's all-time leading receiver and touchdown scorer.
Emmitt Smith, a running back for the Dallas Cowboys who is the NFL's all-time leading rusher.
Russ Grimm, a humongous lineman for the Washington Redskins. He and the other lineman on the Redskins were nicknamed "The Hogs!"
Rickey Jackson, a fearsome linebacker for the New Orleans Saints.
Dick LeBeau, a great defensive back for the Detroit Lions.
Floyd Little, one of the best running backs of his time for the Denver Broncos.
John Randle, a large and fast defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings.
Congratulations guys!
What is the NFL Hall of Fame? The NFL Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, and contains the history of all of the NFL's greatest players. There are great movies, photos, helmets, jerseys and lots of other cool memorabilia to see. You should go!
How does a player get inducted into the Hall of Fame? There is a big vote each year by a selection committee and only a very few of the greatest players ever get voted into the Hall of Fame.
Did you know? A player or coach must have been retired for at least 5 years before they can be considered for the Hall of Fame.
