Former Eagle Terrell Owens earns HOF selection on the third try

MINNEAPOLIS — Terrell Owens spent the previous two years criticizing the Pro Football Hall of Fame voters for his exclusion.

Now Owens, who spent less than two productive but stormy seasons with the Eagles, is heading to the Hall of Fame in his third try.

Owens will join his former teammate, Brian Dawkins, from the Eagles’ Super Bowl team of 2004.

The induction will be Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio.

Owens had 1,078 receptions for 15,934 yards (14.8 avg.) and 153 touchdowns. He is second all-time in receiving yards and third in touchdown receptions.

Counting playoffs, the Eagles were 17-5 with Owens in the lineup.
