Last night, a selection of legendary NFL figures were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Most inductions, like Kurt Warner, Morten Andersen, Terrell Davis, Kenny Easley and Jerry Jones, have to do some waiting before they were voted in. However, there are a select few that get voted into the Hall in their first year of eligibility, like Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson.
As great as this year’s class was, though, next year’s class has the potential to be truly special. In addition to a handful of legends who missed the cut this year - Terrell Owens, Brian Dawkins, Isaac Bruce and Alan Faneca, just to name a few - a stacked group of newcomers will be eligible to enter the Hall of Fame.
