MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. – One of Steve Hutchinson's first duties as one of the five newest Pro Football Hall of Famers was to wake up Sunday morning and, as he put it, "have everything on my big head measured for this [bronze] bust."
After that, the former Viking's plan was to bask in the South Florida sun until heading to Hard Rock Stadium to be introduced along with the rest of this year's class during Super Bowl LIV between the 49ers and Chiefs.
The former pile-driving left guard, who spent 11 of his 12 seasons in the NFC, also was interested in watching a 49ers throwback offense that ran for 471 yards in two 17-point playoff victories over the Vikings and Packers.
