MIAMI – The wait is over for Edgerrin James. The former Indianapolis Colts star is now a Hall of Famer.
James was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. He is one of five members to make up the Hall of Fame's Class of 2020, which will be inducted in Canton, Ohio, in August.
His election comes after James was a finalist for Canton four times. Frustration mounted for the former All-Pro back, who said as early as 2014 that he felt he deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.
“It means everything to me to be sitting here,” James said on stage during a news conference with the Class of 2020 plus the seven-member Centennial Class for the NFL’s 100th year.
