Atwater, Johnson among 20 enshrined in Canton

A pair of former Arkansas football players took the NFL's center stage Saturday night.

Steve Atwater and Jimmy Johnson were among 20 men enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio — members of the 2020 class whose inductions were postponed by one year due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Atwater and Johnson were two-time Super Bowl champions and among the most recognizable football figures of the 1990s.

As a head coach, Johnson led the Dallas Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl wins to end the 1992 and 1993 seasons. Atwater won consecutive Super Bowls as a safety for the Denver Broncos in 1997 and 1998.
