football family - the National Football League, the 32 NFL clubs, and other entities. The cooperative efforts of all of these organizations have contributed greatly to the overall success of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In turn, the Hall strives to serve as the best possible historical showplace and repository for the sport of pro football.

The Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational institution that focuses on honoring the heroes of the game, preserving its history, promoting its values, and celebrating excellence EVERYWHERE.

HISTORYThe Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in

Canton, Ohio, for three primary reasons; (1) the American Professional Football Association, later renamed the National Football League, was founded in Canton on Sept. 17, 1920. (2) the Canton Bulldogs were an early-day pro football power, even before the days of the NFL. They were also the first two-time champion of the NFL in 1922 and 1923.The great Jim Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, played his first pro football with the Bulldogs, starting in 1915. (3) Canton citizens early in the 1960s launched a determined and well-organized campaign to earn the site designation for their city.

The National Football League awarded the site for the Hall of Fame to Canton in 1961.Groundbreaking for the original construction took place on August 11, 1962 and the Hall opened its doors for the first time on September 7, 1963. Four expansions were completed over the years (1971, 1978, 1995, and 2012-13) that have resulted in the museum growing from its original 19,000 square feet to today’s 118,000-square-foot football facility.

David Baker was named President & Executive Director on January 6, 2014. Baker served as the Commissioner of the Arena Football League for 12 years from 1996 to 2008. The 6’9” Baker was a power forward and captain of the basketball team at the University of California at Irvine from 1971-75. He also played two seasons of professional basketball in Europe before returning to obtain a Juris Doctorate degree from Pepperdine University School of Law where he served as Editor-in-Chief of

OUR MISSION:Honor the Heroes of the GamePreserve its HistoryPromote its ValuesCelebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE

OUR VALUES:CommitmentIntegrityCourageRespectExcellence

OUR VISION:It’s not just the past, it’s the future;It’s not just about Canton, it’s the world;And it’s not just a great museum for football, it’s is a message of excellence EVERYWHERE.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its doors more than a half century ago. From its humble beginnings in 1963 to today, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has grown in both size and stature.Recognized worldwide as America’s premier sports Hall of Fame, it is doubtful that even the most optimistic of those who led the drive to bring the Hall of Fame to Canton, Ohio could have envisioned the successes it would realize.

A truly exhilarating museum and exhibition center, the Hall of Fame pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football’s greatest stars.Chronicled within the walls of the Hall of Fame are the stories and circumstances of play that bring to life words such as courage, dedication, vision, fair play, integrity, and excellence.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has welcomed nearly 10 million fans. Each year, visitors travel from every state in the United States and up to 60 to 70 foreign countries to tour the Hall of Fame.

Today, the Hall of Fame reaches tens of millionsof additional football fans each year through broad outreach such as national televised events, an in-depth website, educational and youth programs, social media, traveling exhibits, and special events held around the country.

The second floor of “The NFL’s First Century” features historical information regarding professional football in several dramatic themes.Inspirational stories of the game’s pioneers, great players, coaches, and circumstances are told in vivid detail. Pro football’s societal impact is also documented in “Road to Equality” and “Pop Culture.” Bringing these themes to life are audio and video interactives and larger-than-life photographic murals.

Perhaps the most emotional stop during a tour of the museum is the Hall of Fame Gallery that houses the bronze busts of each of the Hall of Famers. Visitors also have the opportunity to

titles, made 16 playoff appearances, advanced to the NFC championship game 10 times, and became the first franchise ever to win five Super Bowls.

The other DeBartolo-led 49ers teams that won Super Bowl rings came during the 1984, 1988, 1989, and 1994 seasons. San Francisco defeated Miami in Super Bowl XIX, the Bengals again in Super Bowl XXIII followed by lopsided wins over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV and the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX.

The franchise posted the best winning percentage in the NFL in both the decades of the 1980s and 1990s. DeBartolo was named the NFL Man of the Year by the Football News in 1989 as recognition as the nation’s top sports executives.

Aside from his role with the team, DeBartolo was highly respected inside NFL circles and served on the league’s realignment and expansion committees.

Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr. purchased the San Francisco 49ers in 1977 with a vision to create a top-notch organiza-tion, on and off the field. He succeeded in his goal as he led the franchise to

unprecedented winning during the time of his tenure as the team’s Chief Executive Officer.

The transformation was not instant as the 49ers suffered back-to-back 2-14 seasons to close out the decade. In 1979, he hired 47-year-old Bill Walsh as the team’s head coach, drafted a quarterback from his alma mater Notre Dame by the name of Joe Montana, and created an atmosphere conducive to winning. The fortunes of the franchise changed soon thereafter. By 1981, the 49ers finished 13-3 to claim the NFC Western Division title and then won hard fought playoff battles with the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and capped the year with a thrilling 26-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI. The season marked just the beginning for a team that would soon completely dominate the decade and continue their winning ways throughout DeBartolo’s term as CEO.

DeBartolo, who had a reputation as a “players’ owner” created a first-class atmosphere and infused the roster with talent that resulted in San Francisco enjoying an amazing string of winning seasons. The team averaged an astounding 13 wins per season, including playoffs, during a span from 1981 to 1998 (not including the strike-shortened 1982 season). The 49ers during DeBartolo’s reign claimed 13 division

MEDIA GUIDE EXCERPT1997 San Francisco 49ers Media Guide biography

Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr. has earned considerable stature and esteem in the sports community for his successful ownership and management of the San Francisco 49ers. Now in his 21st year as team onwer, he has built the 49ers into one of the most respected franchises in all of professional sports.

Upon his purchase of the club in 1977, DeBartolo began a process of upgrading the organization’s front office administration and on-field talent. His vision was to create a winning franchise that operated with class and dignity. Of equal importance, however, was creating an atmosphere conducive to developing a strong sense of kinship within the operation.

With that formula, DeBartolo began his steward-ship of the 49ers. However, the initial seasons were difficult to endure, as the team closed ou the 70s by finishing with consecutive 2-14 records (1978-79).

Unwavering in his commitment, DeBartolo began to reap dividends for his efforts during the 1980s. His decisiveness and guidance were reflected by changes within the organization that elavated a struggling franchise into a perennial Super Bowl contender.

Since purchasing the 49ers in ‘77, DeBartolo’s team has won 12 division titles, five conference championships, and five Super Bowl championships (the first franchise in NFL history to win 5), claiming the world title in 1981 (Super Bowl XXIV), ‘84 (Super Bowl XIX), ‘88 (Super Bowl XXIII), ‘89 (Super Bowl XXIV), and ‘94 (Super Bowl XXIX).

During the past 16 seasons (1981-1996), San Francisco has won 202 games (counting postsea-son) – an average of nearly 13 victories per year, has reached the playoffs 14 times (including eight consecutive seasons from 1983-90), and is the only NFL team to produce a winning record in each of the past 14 seasons (1983-96).

Though not an experienced member of the polit-ical arena, DeBartolo helped lead one of the great-est come-from-behind campaigns in San Francisco political history. In June 1997, Propositions D and F rallied from a 12-point deficit to win by less than one

percent of the vote, allowing the city of San Francisco and the 49ers to secure funding and zoning for a $525 million project, which includes a 75,000-seat stadium and a 1.4 million-square-foot shopping and entertainment facility at Candlestick Point. The proj-ect is expected to create 10,000 jobs for Bay Area residents and help revitalize San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point region.

DeBartolo, regarded as one of the nation’s top sports executives, was honored by Football News at its 1989 NFL Man of the Year. A former member of the league’s realignment/expansion committee and current member of its expansion committee, DeBartolo is an influential force in the NFL’s hierar-chy.

In addition to being owner and chief executive officer of the 49ers, DeBartolo is also president/CEO of The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation (EJDC), a diversified real estate development and sports management firm headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio, and serves on the Board of Directors for the newly-created Simon DeBartolo Property Group, North America’s larg-est real estate compa-ny with a total market capitalization of $7.5 billion. He is also chair-man/CEO of DeBartolo Entertainment, Inc., a newly-formed corpo-ration established to integrate entertain-ment elements into multi-use projects.

DeBartolo began his career in the real estate industry after attending the University of Notre Dame. He began working at the company his father founded in 1968 as an executive trainee. He gained a wide variety of experience rang-ing from project development to asset management.In 1979, he became president and oversaw manage-ment and executive operations for the Corporation until 1994. During that year, DeBartolo spun off the majority of its shopping center assets, which included more tham 54 million square feet of retail space, into DeBartolo Realty Corporation (NYSE-EJD), a publicly-traded real estate investment trust or REIT.

In March 1996, DeBartolo announced its inten-tions to merge with Simon Property Group, anoth-er large REIT. The combined company, Simon/DeBartolo Group, represents about $16 billion in annual retail sales for its 111 regional shopping cen-ters, 66 community centers and six specialty retail centers in 32 states.

Throughout his life, DeBartolo has actively partic-ipated in and supported charitable institutions. He has given generously of his time and influence to St.

Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Heart Fund, Cancer Crusade and the United Way. He received the 1982 Salvation Army Citation of Merit in recogni-tion of these humanitarian efforts. The award is the organization’s highest honor and has been presented previously to such luminaries as President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Cecil B. DeMille, Helen Hayes, and William Randolph Hearst. At 35, DeBartolo was the youngest person to receive the award.

In 1985, he was honored by the Boys’ Town of Italy as its “Man of the Year” for his support of that organization which aids homeless and needy chil-dren. During the same year, DeBartolo also received the prestigious Warner Award, the highest national individual honor given by the Pop Warner Football Association.

DeBartolo served as national chairman for the 19th Annual Victor Awards (1985), which is spon-sored by the Sportsmen’s Club of Hope’s “Spirit of Life Award.” In recognition of his business accom-plishments, DeBartolo was appointed to the Advisory Council for the College of Business Administration at

Notre Dame in 1988.He also

serves on the Leadership Council for Communities in Schools, Inc., which is the largest organiza-tion of its kind, devoted to combating the drop-out crisis. Through the 49ers organization and the 49ers Foundation, the 49ers Academy was established in Palo Alto, CA. Plans are cur-rently being worked on

for an additional Academy in San Francisco.In October 1997, the National Italian American

Foundation will bestow their special achievment award for Sports/Business upon DeBartolo, where he will be honored in Washington, D.C.

Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, DeBartolo has actively supported the city’s organizations. He has served as director of the Youngstown Youth Center and as a member of the Youngstown State University Board of Trustees.

Currently residing in California, DeBartolo main-tains an active role in East and West Coast oper-ations. Married to the former Cynthia “Candy” Papalia, his childhood sweetheart, DeBartolo has three daughters: Lisa Marie, Tiffanie Lynne and Nicole Anne.

By his second season, the team finished 10-6 and earned a playoff berth. Two seasons later, in 1999, the Bucs posted an 11-5 record and clinched the franchise’s first divisional title since 1981. After six seasons in Tampa Bay, that included four trips to the playoffs, Dungy was relieved of his duties.

Eight days after his dismissal by the Bucs, Dungy was hired by Indianapolis. Under his guidance, the Colts enjoyed success never experienced in the franchise’s history. During Dungy’s seven-year reign as Indy’s head coach, the Colts posted 12 or more wins in all of those seasons except his first when they finished 10-6. The team claimed five divisional titles and advanced to the playoffs every year of Dungy’s tenure as coach.

In 2006, Dungy guided the Colts to an AFC South Division title and capped the season with a thrilling 38-34 win over their arch rival New England Patriots in the AFC championship game and a victory over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. Dungy became the first African American head coach ever to win a Super Bowl.

Dungy’s overall record as a NFL head coach was 148-79-0 and that includes a .668 winning percent-age in the regular season (139-69-0).

DOES NOT INCLUDE DUNGY’S FINAL SEASON IN INDIANAPOLIS (2008)

Tony Dungy enters his seventh season as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Dungy took the helm of the club on January 22, 2002, after serving six seasons with Tampa Bay. Dungy has directed the Colts to a 73-23 regular-season record, six playoff appearances, five AFC South titles, two AFC Championship game appearances and a 29-17 victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI. The club earned its fourth World Championship following the 2006 season, the first title game appearance by the franchise in 36 years.

Indianapolis was l0-6 in Dungy’s initial season, and he has guided the Calls to 12-4, 12-4, 14-2, 12-4 and 13-3 division-winning seasons from 2003-07.The club’s five-year streak of division champion-ships is unprecedented in franchise history. In 2007, Indianapolis produced its fifth consecutive season with at least l2 wins, the first time a franchise accomplished that feat in the NFL’s 88 seasons. The Colts also produced a sixth consecutive season with 10+ victories, a streak that ties the third-longest in NFL history.

Dungy will mark his 13th season as an NFL head coach in 2008. He has taken 10 of his previous 12 teams to the playoffs. He has taken nine straight teams to the playoffs, tying Tom Landry‘s streak (1975-33) for the most consecutive playoff appear-ances by a head coach since the 1970 NFL Merger.

his career regular-season record of 127-65 and his overall mark of 136-74. Dungy became the 35th coach in NFL history to earn 100 career victories with a 38-20 win at Houston on October 23, 2005.Dungy became the 20th coach since entering the league in 1970 to win 100 career games. Of those 20, only George Seifert (132), Joe Gibbs (148), Mike Ditka (151), Mike Holmgren (160) and Mike Shanahan (161) reached 100 career wins faster than Dungy’s pace of 163 games. Dungy recorded his 100th regular-season victory vs. Tennessee on December 4, 2005. He is only the sixth coach to win 100+ regular-season games in the first 10 years as a head coach (113, Seifert; 105, Don Shula; 103, John Madden; 102, Dungy; 101, Gibbs; 101, Ditka). Dungy owns a 103-41 regular-season mark since the start of the 1999 season (30-18 at Tampa Bay; 73-23 with Colts), and he is the NFL’s winningest coach during that span. He became the winningest field general in Colts history with a 31-7 victory at Carolina on October 28, 2007. The victory was his 74th with the Colts, passing the previous club-record totals of Shula and Ted Marchibroda. Dungy’s .760 regu-lar-season winning percentage ranks second only to Seifert’s .766 (98-30, 1989-96) among head coaches with one team (minimum 75 games). Dungy enters 2008 with a .661 regular-season winning percent-age, the best among active NFL coaches with 50+ victories. Dungy became the 42nd coach (now 43rd) to guide a club to a Super Bowl appearance, and he became the 19th (now 20th] to win the Super Bowl in an initial appearance. He joined Ditka and Tom Flores as the only individuals to win the Super Bowl as a player and head coach.

Dungy took Tampa Bay to four playoff appear-ances during his tenure as field general, and he is the only Colts head coach to produce 10+ wins and playoff appearances in the first six seasons with the club. Last year, Dungy helped produce the 17th lO+-victory season in franchise history, and he is one of five Colts head coaches to earn double-digit victory totals (6, Dungy; 4, Shula; 3, Marchibroda; 2, Don McCafferty; 2, Jim Mora). Dungy has nine career double-digit victory seasons (11-5, 1999; 10-6, 1997; 10-6, 2000 with Tampa Bay; 14-2, 2005; 13-3, 2007; 12-4, 2003; 12-4, 2004; 12-4, 2006; 10-6, 2002 with Colts) and stands as the first head coach to defeat all 32 NFL teams. lndianapolis has won the AFC South five consecutive seasons, and the Colts have owned or shared the division lead in 95 of 102 weeks of AFC South existence. The Colts were wire-to-wire division leaders from 2005-07, and have not lost the division lead since October, 2004. The Calls are the ninth team since the 1970 Merger to win five or more consecutive division titles. The club’s undefeated home record in 2006 marked only the second time it has been accom-

plished in Colts history (1958). The Colts have an overall record of 70-21 since the start of the 2003 season and are 56-16 since 2004. Under Dungy, the Colts are 38-10 at home and 35-13 on the road during the regular season. The Colts have advanced to the divisional, conference or league title round the past five years. The club’s 50 regular-season vic-tories from 2003-06 placed the Colts with five other franchises that won 50+ games in any four-year NFL span, while as regular-season wins from 2003-07 is the second-best five-year total in NFL history.

Dungy, 52, has led a revival at the club during the past six seasons. lndianapolis owns triumphs in 47 of its last 57 regular-season games. In 2007, Dungy became the first Colts head coach to earn six consecutive double-digit victory seasons. After becoming the only NFL team to open consecutive seasons with 9-0 records in 2005 and 2006, the club became the first in 76 years to open three consecutive seasons (2005-07) with 7-0 starts. The Colts, 14-2, set the franchise seasonal record for victories in 2005 (13, 1968, 1999, 2007). The club’s 14-2 record ranked among the best winning cate-gories in NFL history. Indianopolis’ total that year is two games off the highest seasonal total for wins )16, New England, 2007; 15, San Francisco, 1984; Chicago, 1985; Minnesota, 1998; Pittsburgh, 2004), while joining 18 other teams that earned 14 wins in a season. The club‘s 13 consecutive games won in a season falls shy of tying New England (16, 2007), Miami (14, 1972) and Pittsburgh (14, 2004) for the longest streaks in NFL history, while matching the total of 13 by Chicago (1934) and Denver (1998).Indianapolis is shy of joining New England (2007) and Miami (1972) as the only teams to win 14 consecutive games to start a season. The mark of 16 consecutive games without a defeat is owned by New England (2007) and is followed by Miami (1972) and Pittsburgh (2004), while the Colts rank with five other teams that had 13-game streaks without a defeat (11-0-2, Chicago, 1926; 12-0-1, Green Bay, 1929; 13-0, Chicago, 1934; 11-0-2, Colts, 1967; 13-0, Denver, 1998). As a head coach, Dungy is 110-27 when his teams have scored 17+ points, while his record is 96-9 when his teams open a 10+-point lead. Dungy is 73-1 in games when his team earns a 14+-point lead. In 27 seasons as a head coach or assistant, Dungy’s defenses have scored 73 touchdowns. As a head coach from 1996-07, Dungy’s teams always have ranked among the least penalized in the NFL (1996: 95 penalties, T9th- fewest; 1997: 77, 1st; 1998: 99, 7th; 1999: 75, 2nd; 2000: 82, 3rd; 2001: 77, 6th; 2002: 91, 7th; 2003: 92, T6th; 2004: 106, T10th; 2005: 94, T2nd; 2006: 86, 7th; 2007: 67, 3rd). His 12 Colts and Buccaneers teams own a 66-30 record in the second halves of the 1996-07 regular seasons. His Colts teams are

+61 in turnover ratio, the best mark in the league from 2002-07. The club’s 126 giveaways are the fewest in the league during that span, while 187 takeaways are the slxth-most.

In 2007, the Colts opened 7-0, joining Green Bay (1929-31) as the only teams to open three consec-utive seasons with 7-0 starts. Indianapolis ranked 5th in NFL offense, the club’s fifth straight top five league finish. The club amassed 450 points to rank 3rd in points per game. QB-Peyton Manning was 337-515-4, 040, 31 TDs/14 ints., extending his NFL records with his 10th consecutive 25+-TD season and an eighth 4,000+-yardage season. Manning has 160 consecutive starts, the most ever to start a career and the second-longest QB streak in NFL history (253, Brett Favre). His 73-23 starting record under Dungy represents the winningest head coach-QB tandem in club annals, and one at the most successful in NFL history. With an injury interrupting the season of eight-time Pro Bowl WR—Marvin Harrison, Manning helped WR-Reggie Wayne [104-1, 510, 10 TDs), TE-Dallas Clark (58-616, 11 TDs) and RB-Joseph Addai (26l-1,072, 12 TDs) have solid years. lndianapolis earned its NFL-record seventh offense with a 4,000+ passer and 1,000+ rusher and receiver. In the NFL’s 88 seasons, the Colts own seven of the league’s 29 such offenses. While Manning and Harrison remained among the finest QB-WR tandems in NFL history (898 completions, 12,155 yards, 107 touchdowns), Wayne became only the 16th NFL receiver to produce a 1,500+ sea-son. Clark broke the club seasonal position records of John Mackey tor receptions and touchdowns, while Addai became the third Colts running back to open a career with consecutive 1,000+ seasons.Indianapolis ranked 2nd in the AFC, 3rd in the NFL, in total defense. It marked the club’s highest defen-sive ranking since 1971, and represented the club’s fourth top 10 defensive finish since moving to lndi-anapolis in 1934. The club has ranked in the NFL’s top five defenses only eleven times in club history.The Colts yielded 279.7 yards per game, the lowest seasonal total since 1971 (203.7), and it marked only the eighth seasonal average below 280.0 yards in franchise history. The Colts (5th on offense; 3rd on defense) were one of two teams to rank in the top five in both offense and defense (New England, 1st, 4th). Indianapolis ranked 1st in NFL scoring defense, its best showing since 2005 (2nd), and 262 points allowed marked the 2nd-fewest by the club in a 16-game season (247, 2005). During Dungy’s tenure, the club has four top 10 NFL finishes in scoring defense (1st, 2007; 2nd, 2005; 5th, 2003; 7th, 2002). The Colts tallied 22 interceptions to rank T2nd in the league, while producing the best seasonal total since 1979 (23) and the highest during its Indianapolis era. The club finished +18 in

turnover ratio (37:19), ranking 2nd in the NFL (+24, San Diego). For the fourth consecutive season, the Colts scored more touchdowns than the club had punts (2004: 66 touchdowns, 54 punts; 2005: 53 touchdowns, 52 punts; 2006: 50 touchdowns, 48 punts; 2007: 54 touchdowns, 52 punts). It marked only the 5th time in club history to achieve that feat (1958: 50 touchdowns, 49 punts). Manning, Wayne, C-Jeff Saturday, Addai, DB-Antoine Bethea and Sanders (missed game) earned Pro Bowl bids.Sanders earned the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player-of-the-Year Award, the first Colts player ever to win the honor.

In 2006, the Colts opened 9-0, earned a perfect home record, captured a fourth consecutive division championship and won four playoff games in earn-ing the Super Bowl XII crown. Dungy joined Weeb Ewbank and McCafferty as Colts championship coaches. The club’s 45-21 win over Philadelphia on

November 26 marked Dungy’s 58th win in 75 regular-season games, the fourth-best total by any NFL coach over the first 75 games with a club (61, Shula, Miami; 60, Seifert, San Francisco; 59, Paul Brown, Cleveland). The club produced 6,070 net yards and 427 points. Manning (362-557-4,397, 31 TDs/9 ints., 101.0 rating), Harrison (95-1,366, l2 TDs), Wayne (86-1 ,310, 9 TDs) and K-Adam Vinatieri (38-38 PATS/25-28 FGs, 113 points) produced stellar seasons. The club’s rushing attack featured Addai (226-1,081, 7 TDs rushing/40-325, 1 TD receiving; 1,406 scrimmage yards) and RB-Dominic Rhodes 187-641, 5 TDs rushing), while the club led the NFL with 15 sacks allowed (the third straight NFL-leading season in that category). Harrison became the only NFL receiver with eight consecutive l,000+-yard and 10+-TD seasons. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Saturday and OT-Tarik Glenn earned Pro Bowl honors.

ln 2005, the Colts set a league seasonal record by winning 13 consecutive games by a margin of seven or more points. The previous record in that category was eleven games by Chicago in 1942.Indianapolis held six opponents to single-digit point totals, and the club became only the 6th post World War II era NFL team to open the season by holding three consecutive opponents in single digits (1952 New York Giants, 1962/2001 Green Bay, 1980 Philadelphia, 2004 Seattle). The club ranked 2nd in NFL scoring offense and defense. The 247 points surrendered marked the lowest 16-game seasonal total in club history, and the offense retained its prolific stature by amassing 439 points and 5,799 net yards. The Colts trailed in only four games for a total of 148 minutes. Manning (305-453-3,747, 28 TDs/10 ints.), RB-Edgerrin James (360-1, 506, 13 TDs; 1,843 scrimmage yards), Harrison (82-1, 146, 12 TDs) and Wayne (83-1, 055, 5 TDs) produced stel-

lar seasons, while DEs-Robert Mathis (11.5 sacks) and Dwight Freeney (11 sacks), LB-Cato June and DB-Bob Sanders headlined the defense. lndianap-olis led the NFL with eight Pro Bowlers (Manning, James, Harrison, Saturday, Glenn, Freeney, June and Sanders), the most Colts selected for the game in a season since 1971. June became the first Colts line-backer tabbed for the Pro Bowl since 1987, while Sanders was the first Colts defensive back selected since 1971. Freeney became the only Colts player with four consecutive double-digit sack seasons (13, 2002; 11, 2003; 16, 2004; 11, 2005).

In 2004, the club scored a franchise-record 522 points, besting the club mark of 447 points in 2003. The club‘s 522 points ranked as then the fifth-highest season-al point total in NFL his-tory. The Colts set club seasonal marks with 66 touchdowns and 379 first downs. Manning (4,557) topped 4,000 yards in an NFL-record sixth consec-utive season, and he had perhaps the finest season by any NFL quarterback.Manning completed 336 of 497 passes for 4,557 yards and 49 touchdowns, while posting a 127.1 rat-ing. His 67.6 completion percentage, yards, touch-downs and rating set Colts seasonal-bests, while his touchdowns (since bro-ken) and rating set NFL seasonal records. The club became the first NFL team with three 1,00O+-yord, 10+-TD receivers (1,210 yards, 12 TDs, Wayne; 1,113, 15, Harrison; 1,077, 10, WR—Brandon Stokley). The Colts forced 36 turnovers, T2nd in the AFC and T3rd in the NFL, while the club‘s +19 ratio topped the NFL. The team produced 45 sacks, T3rd-most in the NFL. Freeney had a club seasonal-record 16 sacks and became the first Colts player to win the NFL sock title since the category became official in 1982.

In 2003, the Colts posted only the eighth sea-son in franchise history without losing consecu-tive games. lndianapolis ended the season with a 29-game streak [counting the playoffs] without con-secutive losses, the second-longest streak in club history (37, 1975-77). The club scored 447 points and produced a +10 turnover ratio, the first plus ratio for the club since 1995 and the first by a dou-

ble-digit margin since 1987. Manning and Harrison were Pro Bowlers under Dungy in 2002. Manning and Harrison repeated as Pro Bowlers in 2003, and were joined by K-Mike Vanderjagt and Freeney. Freeney‘s bid was the first by a Colts defensive play-er since 1987, and the first by a defensive lineman in club history since 1977. Manning, Harrison and Freeney earned Pro Bowl honors in 2004, and they were joined by James and Glenn.

Dungy joined the Colts after being the most successful head coach in Tampa Bay history. Dungy compiled a 54-42 regular-season record and earned four playoff appearances from 1996-2001. In the 10 seasons before Dungy’s arrival, the Buccaneers were 43-111 with nine double-digit loss seasons. In

1997, Dungy was named Professional Coach of the Year by the Maxwell Football Club after guid-ing the Buccaneers to a 10-6 record and a Wild Card playoff victory over Detroit. Tampa Bay won the NFC Central in 1999, its first division title since 1981. Tampa Bay fell in the NFC Championship game to St. Louis, 11-6.Tampa Bay was one of only two teams in 1999 to hold the Rams under 15 points. During Dungy‘s tenure, the Buccaneers developed into one of the NFL’s top defenses.In 2001, they were one of two teams to hold St.Louis below 20 points.Tampa Bay ranked 6th in NFL total defense and 8th in scoring defense. In 2000, the club set a team

record with 55 sacks. In 2001, the Buccaneers had six Pro Bowlers - RB-Mike Alstott, WR-Keyshawn Johnson, DT-Warren Sapp, LB-Derrick Brooks, DB-Ronde Barber and DB-John Lynch. In 2000, nine Buccaneers players made the game. Sapp and Brooks each made five Pro Bowls under Dungy’s tutelage, while Lynch made four.

Key to Dungy‘s ascension to the head coach-ing level was his 1992-95 tenure in Minnesota as defensive coordinator, where he further developed as one of the game’s top assistants and defensive minds. His defenses ranked 8th (1992), 1st (1993), 5th (1994) and 20th (1995), while intercepting an NFL high 95 passes as Minnesota made three play-off appearances. In 1995, the Vikings finished 2nd

in the NFL with 40 takeaways and 25 interceptions.In 1994, despite having just one first-round draft choice on the defense, the unit ranked 1st in the NFL with seven defensive touchdowns, 1st in NFL run defense, 5th in NFL total defense, T1st with 16 fumble recoveries, 4th in NFC takeaways (34) and T5th in NFC sacks (36). The team’s league-best 68.1 yards-per-game rushing average was the 4th-best total in NFL history and the best in 30 years. In 1993, the Vikings led the NFL in total defense and were the only team to rank among the top six teams in the NFL against the rush and pass. The Vikings led the NFC and were 2nd in NFL interceptions (24), 3rd in NFC takeaways (34) and 4th in NFC sacks (45). In 1992, Dungy’s defense had five new starters. Still, the Vikings led the NFL with 28 interceptions and ranked 1st in the NFC and 2nd in the NFL with 42 takeaways. The Vikings tied for the NFL lead with eight defensive touchdowns. Four Vikings defensive players made the Pro Bowl.

From 1989-91, Dungy served as defensive backs coach at Kansas City, helping the Chiefs to the play-offs the final two seasons. In 1989, the Chiefs were 1st in the AFC and 2nd in the NFL in pass defense.From 1989-90, the Chiefs allowed the second-few-est completions and the second-lowest completion percentage in the NFL. Under Dungy, Chiefs DBs-Albert Lewis and Kevin Ross were each two-time Pro Bowl selections.

Dungy’s first NFL coaching job came with Pittsburgh, where he worked from 1981-88, devel-oping into one of the NFL‘s top young defensive assistants. In 1981, he became the NFL’s youngest assistant (25) when he joined the Steelers as a defensive coach. He was promoted to defensive backs coach in 1982 and held that job for two sea-sons until he became the NFL’s youngest defensive coordinator in 1984. Pittsburgh ranked 5th in the NFL in 1984 and 10th in 1985. In five seasons as the Steelers‘ coordinator, his defenses averaged 24 interceptions and 37 takeaways, while scoring 20 touchdowns.

Dungy began his coaching career in 1980, serv-ing as defensive backs coach at his alma mater, the University at Minnesota. He played quarterback for the Golden Gophers from 1973-76, finishing as the school’s career leader in pass attempts (576), completions (274), passing yards (3,577) and touch-down passes (25). He rushed 413 times tor 1,345 yards and 16 touchdowns, earning the team’s Most Valuable Player Award two times. As a senior, he played in the East-West Shrine Game, the Hula Bowl and the Japan Bowl. Upon completion of his career, he ranked 4th in Big Ten history in total offense behind Mike Phipps, Archie Griffin and Bob Griese. As a junior, he set a school seasonal record with 15 touchdown passes, leading the Big Ten and

ranking 5th nationally in total offense and passing.As a freshman, he played for the 1973-74 Golden Gophers basketball team. He averaged 2.6 points per game before concentrating on football. Dungy graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Dungy signed as a free agent with the Steelers in May of 1977. He was converted from quarterback to wide receiver to safety, and when he made the team, he was the first free agent to make the Steelers‘ final roster in two seasons. Dungy played in 14 games as a rookie, intercepting three passes. In a game against Houston that season, with QBs-Terry Bradshaw and Mike Kruczek injured, he completed three-of-eight passes for 43 yards and rushed three times for eight yards. In that game, he intercepted a pass and threw an interception.

In 1978, he played in 16 games, starting twice and ranking second in the AFC with six inter-ceptions. He helped secure a 15-9 victory over Cleveland with a last-play interception that he returned 65 yards. He played in the Steelers’ 35-31 victory over Dallas in Super Bowl XIII, then the following year in training camp, was traded to San Francisco for a 1980 10th-round draft choice. He played in 15 games for the 49ers, then was traded to the New York Giants before the following season with RB-Mike Hogan in exchange for WR-Jimmy Robinson and DB-Ray Rhodes.

While with the Buccaneers, Dungy was active in the community, working as a public speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action. He launched Mentors for Life, a program that provided tickets to Buccaneers home games to area youth and their mentors. He also was a supporter of children’s charitable programs such as Family First, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Prison Crusade Ministry and foster par-enting organizations. His wife, Lauren, volunteered at The Spring, a shelter for abused women and children, and the First Baptist Church of College Hill lunch program. Their voluminous community works continued in lndianapolis. Dungy helped implement a local Baskets of Hope program that benefits Riley Hospital for Children. He teamed with others in assisting All-Pro Dad, a family-based organization, and he was a spokesman for Arby’s Combo to ben-efit Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the Boys and Girls Club. Dungy’s reach throughout the area includes works and appearances with the Black Coaches Association National Convention and lndiana Black Expo. He participates frequently in speaking appear-ances at area faith-based events and family football clinics. Lauren serves on the Executive Board of the Colts Women’s Organization. The organization’s wide-ranging activities include the ‘Race for Cure‘ that addresses the fight against breast cancer. The

(20 PLAYING SEASONS)Height: 6-2; Weight: 225College: Southern MississippiPro Career: 20 seasons, 302 gamesDrafted: 2nd round (33rd overall) in 1991 by AtlantaUniform Number: 4

Full Name: Brett Lorenzo FavreBirthdate: October 10, 1969Birthplace: Gulfport, MississippiHigh School: Hancock Central (Pass Christian, MS)

Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Feb. 6, 2016Enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Aug. 6, 2016Other Members of the Class of 2016:Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., Tony Dungy, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, Orlando Pace, Ken Stabler, Dick Stanfel

Brett Favre started four years as quarterback at Southern Mississippi before he was drafted in the second round (33rd overall) by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1991 NFL Draft. Favre

saw little action as a rookie and was traded to the Green Bay Packers the following season in exchange for a first round pick. An injury to the Packers’ incum-bent starter Don Majikowski in Week 3 immediately thrust Brett into action. From that point, Favre embarked on a career in which he rewrote the NFL’s record book during his 20-year career.

Favre led the Packers to a 9-7 record in 1992, only the team’s second winning season in ten years.He also logged 3,227 yards passing, the first of 18 straight seasons in which he reached the 3000-yard plateau (an NFL record), and exceeded 4,000 yards in six of those seasons. After his breakout cam-paign, Favre was awarded the first of 11 Pro Bowl selections.

The following year Favre guided the Packers to another 9-7 record but this time the team earned a Wild Card berth in the playoffs, the first postseason appearance for Green Bay (excluding the strike short-ened 1982 season) since 1972.

More success was to come. In 1995, Favre began a three-year stint in which he led the Packers to three straight NFC championship games which resulted in two Super Bowl appearances including a victory in Super Bowl XXXI. He passed for a career-high 4,413 yards in 1995 but Green Bay fell to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC championship game. His efforts that season earned him the first of three straight NFL Most Valuable Player awards.

Favre led the league in touchdown passes for the second of three consecutive seasons in 1996 as he guided the Packers to a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. It was the first championship for Green Bay since Super Bowl II.Favre and the Packers nearly repeated as Super Bowl winners but narrowly lost to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII.

Favre’s passing prowess continued at a record pace through the years and by the end of 2007, his last in Green Bay, he had supplanted Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino as the career passing leader in attempts, completions, yards, and touchdowns.

He played three more seasons with the New York Jets (2008) and the Minnesota Vikings (2009-2010).The 2009 season was one of his finest as he threw for 4,202 and registered a career-high 107.2 passer rating while leading the Vikings to an appearance in the NFC title game.

Favre, an NFL ironman who played in a record 299 consecutive games, posted totals of 6,300 com-pletions, 10,169 attempts, 71,838 yards, and 508 touchdowns in his 302-game NFL career.

Kevin Greene, a fifth-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams in the 1985 NFL Draft, quickly developed into one of the most punishing pass rush-ers in league history. A walk-on at

Auburn he was drafted into the NFL as a linebacker and played at that position for the majority of his 15-season career with the Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and San Francisco 49ers. He also saw some action at defensive end mostly during his tenure with the Rams.

He played primarily on special teams as a rookie and that year marked the only one of his career in which he did not register a sack (although he did have a sack in the playoffs). Although he did not have any starts in his second season he played in all 16 games and managed seven sacks. He added 6.5 sacks in 1987. By his fourth season he had turned into a bona fide pass rusher for the Rams as he registered a career-high 16.5 sacks. Included in that total were his career-best 4.5 sacks in a 38-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the season finale that clinched a playoff spot for the Rams. The following year Greene matched his total from ’88 when he again turned in 16.5 sacks. In all, Greene had double-digit sack totals

ten times, a mark that put him second in the record book at the time. The only time he missed recording 10 sacks in any of his last eight seasons was when he had a team-leading nine sacks for the Steelers in 1995.

He was named to the Pro Bowl five times (once with the Rams, and twice with the Steelers and Panthers). Greene was selected first-team All-Pro in 1989 with the Rams, in 1994 with Pittsburgh and with Carolina in 1996. He captured the league sack title twice, the first time in 1994 and again in 1996.

Greene, a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s, played in six conference championship games and one Super Bowl. He led his team in sacks 11 times during his career and amassed 160 total sacks which ranked him third all-time following his retirement after the 1999 season. He also had three safeties, 26 opponent fumble recoveries, and five interceptions.

DOES NOT INCLUDE GREENE’S FINAL SEASON IN CAROLINA (1999)

PRO CAREER The NFL’s third all-time leader in sacks, Kevin has placed himself in elite company as one of the best outside linebackers to ever play the game. Earning concrete Hall of Fame credentials over his 14 previous NFL seasons, Kevin returns to the remodeled Panthers defense with a track record of defying naysayers and Father Time alike as one of the league’s premier all-around defensive players.

1998: Kevin earned a start at outside linebacker

in the Pro Bowl and led the Panthers with 15 sacks, ranking third in the NFL and second in the NFC behind Seattle’s Michael Sinclair (16.5) and Green Bay’s Reggie White (16.0). Leading the league for the first 11 weeks of the season, Kevin recorded four multi-sack games to being the season which, combined with a season-ending two-sack perfor-mance in 1997, established a new NFL record for consecutive multi-sack games with five. In addition to his sack total, Kevin totalled 66 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, a career-best two interceptions and a team-high 36 quarterback pressures. Kevin began the season in top form, earning three sacks in the opener versus Atlanta (9/6), tying a team single-game mark, in addition to five tackles. He recorded two sacks at New Orleans (9/13) in addition to nine tackles and five quarter-back hurries. He followed versus Green Bay (9/27) with two sacks and four tackles before extending his NFL record multi-sack game streak to five with two sacks at Atlanta (10/4), in addition to seven tackles and a forced fumble. At Dallas (10/11), he recorded a sack and four tackles. At Tampa Bay (10/18), he accounted for four tackles and a dramatic, leaping sack of Trent Dilfer. Versus Buffalo (10/25), Kevin’s streak of games with a sack was stopped at nine, one shy of the NFL record, but he notched his first interception as a Panther in addition to three tack-les. He produced six tackles and a sack versus New Orleans (11/1) and recorded a sack and four tackles at San Francisco (11/8). He had an interception of Dan Marino, with a return of 18 yards, and three tackles versus Miami (11/15), raising his career-best single-season interception total to two. At St. Louis (11/22), he tallied a sack and two tackles along with a fumble recovery that led to a touchdown. He recorded three tackles at the Jets (11/29), before leaving the game with a concussion, but returned the following week versus San Francisco (12/6), totalling two tackles. He recorded five tackles versus Washington (12/13), was suspended for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, missing a contest versus St. Louis (12/20), before returning to action in the season finale at Indianapolis (12/27), recording a sack and six quarterback pressures.

1997: Kevin signed with San Francisco as a free agent on (8/28) after being released by Carolina (8/25). He tallied 10.5 sacks despite starting just four games among his 14 appearances in the reg-ular season. He was inactive with a left big toe injury at St. Louis (9/7) and versus Atlanta (9/21).He had reserve duty at Tampa Bay (8/31), versus New Orleans (9/14), at Carolina (9/29) and versus St. Louis (10/12), recovering a fumble in the Rams contest. He notched a sack at Atlanta (10/19), his first as a 49er, and played as a reserve at New Orleans (10/26) before posting a sack versus Dallas

- 46 -


(11/2). He started at defensive end at Philadelphia (11/10) and versus Carolina (11/16), posting a sack against the Panthers. He started and recorded two sacks versus San Diego (11/23) before starting at defensive end at Kansas City (11/30). Kevin had 1.5 sacks versus Minnesota (12/7) and a sack and a 40-yard fumble return for a touchdown versus Denver (12/15). He finished the season by collecting two sacks at Seattle (12/21), which moved him into first place all time for sacks by a linebacker, passing Lawrence Taylor’s mark of 132.5. In the playoffs, Kevin played as a reserve versus Minnesota in the NFC Divisional Playoff (1/3) and versus Green Bay in the NFC Championship (1/11). He recorded three quarterback pressures in the playoffs.

1996: Kevin signed with the Panthers (5/3) and started all 16 games and both playoff contests. He had one of the best seasons of his career, posting a league-best 14.5 sacks in addition to a team-best 32 quarterback hurries, 74 tackles, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, a touch-down and three passes defensed. He earned his first career Pro Bowl start and his sec-ond career sack title.By leading the 1996 Panthers in sacks, he continued a streak of leading his team in sacks for nine consecu-tive seasons. Kevin was one of six defenders to start every game and extended his consec-utive game starting streak to 96 contests.His first game as a Panther was a distinguishing one, as he gathered two sacks, four tackles and four quarterback hur-ries versus Atlanta (9/1 ). At New Orleans (9/8), Kevin forced and recovered a fumble in addition to posting two tackles. Versus San Francisco (9/22), he keyed the Panthers defensive effort with a team-high six quarterback hurries in addition to making two tackles before posting four tackles and a sack at Jacksonville (9/29). At Minnesota (10/E), he led the team with two sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defensed. Kevin had one of his most memorable

days as a professional versus St. Louis (10/13), when he recovered a fumble and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown, his first career fumble recovery for a score. In the contest, he also posted two sacks and a forced fumble.

Full Name: Marvin Daniel HarrisonBirthdate: August 25, 1972Birthplace: Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaHigh School: Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, PA)

Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Feb. 6, 2016Enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Aug. 6, 2016Other Members of the Class of 2016: Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, Kevin Greene, Orlando Pace, Ken Stabler, Dick Stanfel

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison was the 19th overall choice by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1996 NFL Draft. The Colts obtained the pick in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons in

exchange for Jeff George, the number one overall pick in the 1990 draft. Harrison quickly became the number one weapon for the first overall pick in 1998, Peyton Manning. Over the next 13 seasons, Harrison registered staggering numbers as he sprinkled his name throughout the NFL’s record book.

The Syracuse grad exhibited his abilities in his first year when he earned All-Rookie honors and led the Colts in receptions (64), receiving yards (836) and total touchdowns (8). His best game that season occurred on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 15 when he pulled in six receptions for 106 yards and 3 TDs to earn the AFC Player of the Week Award. He matched that three-touchdown effort eight more times during his career.

Harrison had a breakout season in 1999 and established himself as one of the NFL’s elite receiv-ers. Teamed with Manning, he racked up 115 recep-tions for a league-leading 1,663 yards and 12 TDs.The performance set off a remarkable string of eight straight years with 1,000 or more yards receiving and 10 or more touchdowns. It was also the first of four straight years with 100 or more receptions. His best NFL season may have been 2002 when he shattered

the NFL single-season record for receptions (143) and had a career-high 1,722 yards and 11 TDs.

In 2004, Harrison tied his career-high for touch-downs in a season with 15 (he set the mark in 2001) on top of 86 catches for 1,113 yards. His effort was a major factor in the Colts’ march to Super Bowl XLI where the team defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17 in a rain-soaked match-up in South Florida.

A member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000s, Harrison retired following the 2008 season with 1,102 career receptions for 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns. The eight-time Pro Bowler finished second to Jerry Rice in league annals in career recep-tions, most consecutive games with a reception (190) and most career 100-yards games (59). His yardage total ranked him fourth all-time and his career TDs (128) were ninth on the all-time list at the time of his retirement.

Harrison, who was a six-time All-Pro and an eight-time All-AFC selection, achieved most of his success with Manning as his quarterback. In 158 games together, the duo connected on 953 passes for 12,766 yards and 112 TDs, the most completions, yards and touchdowns by a tandem in NFL history.

Height: 6-7; Weight: 320College: Ohio StatePro Career: 13 seasons, 169 gamesDrafted: 1st round (1st player overall) in 1997 by St. Louis RamsUniform Number: 76

Full Name: Orlando Lamar PaceBirthdate: November 4, 1975Birthplace: Sandusky, OhioHigh School: Sandusky (OH)

Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Feb. 6, 2016Enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Aug. 6, 2016Other Members of the Class of 2016:Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., Tony Dungy, Brett Favre, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, Ken Stabler, Dick Stanfel

Tackle Orlando Pace was highly tout-ed coming out of Ohio State as the first overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. The 6’7”, 320-pound Pace lived up to the billing as he made

an instant impact at the pro level and became one of the finest offensive linemen of his era.

Pace was integral member of the Rams’ potent offense that transformed the franchise into a peren-nial winner. By his third season, Pace and his team-mates entertained the NFL with its “greatest show on turf” offense that produced three straight seasons of scoring more than 500 points and ranking as the NFL’s highest rated offense (1999-2001). The ’99 Rams racked up a league-high 6,412 yards of offense en route to a 13-3 record and NFC Western division title. St. Louis advanced through the playoffs with wins over the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before capturing a thrilling 23-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. The victory marked the franchise’s first NFL title since 1951.

The Rams’ explosive offense continued in 2000 as Pace helped protect quarterback Kurt Warner and also opened holes for Hall of Fame runner Marshall Faulk who was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player after scoring a league-record 26 TDs. St. Louis became the first team in NFL history to rack up more than 7,000 yards of offense, and scored 540 total points.

A year later, Pace and his teammates returned to the Super Bowl after posting a 14-2 mark in 2001 and recorded playoff wins over Green Bay and Philadelphia for the right to play in Super Bowl XXXVI.Pace started at left tackle in the game that ended in disappointment for the Rams when the New England Patriots kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired.

Pace was the forefront of the Rams dominant seasons and was named All-Pro in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. He was also selected to seven con-secutive Pro Bowls.

In all, Pace played in 169 career games that includ-ed 11 final contests with the Chicago Bears in 2009.

He is a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

The Oakland Raiders, in the sec-ond round of the 1968 AFL-NFL Draft, selected quarterback Ken Stabler. A three-time All-America at Alabama, Stabler spent his first two seasons in

the pros on the Raiders inactive/reserve squad, before joining the team in 1970 as a backup to Oakland’s All-Pro quarterback Daryle Lamonica.

Although his playing time steadily increased each of the next three seasons, it wasn’t until 1973 and after the Raiders lost two of their first three games, that Stabler became a starter. That year he went on to lead the Raiders to the AFC Championship game, a 27-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. It was, however, the first of a string of five consecutive years that the Stabler-led Raiders advanced to the AFC title game, and the first of seven consecutive winning seasons with the “Snake” at the helm.

In 1976, Stabler led the league in passing, finishing the season with a remarkable 103.4 passer rating. At the same time, the Raiders earned the right to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XI. In the Super Bowl Stabler completed 12 of 19 passes for 180 yards as the Raiders easily defeated the Minnesota Vikings 32-14.

During his 10 seasons in Oakland, Stabler was named All-Pro twice, All-AFC three times, and select-ed to play in the Pro Bowl four times. He was named the AFC’s Player of the Year in 1974 and again in 1976.

Following the 1979 season the Raiders traded Stabler to the Houston Oilers for quarterback Dan Pastorini. In his first season as the Oilers field gener-al, Stabler passed for 3,202 yards. It was the second time in his career that he passed for more than 3,000 yards in a single season.

Stabler retired after the third game of the 1984 season after struggling through two injury-plagued seasons with the New Orleans Saints. When he retired his 59.85 career pass completion percentage was second only to Joe Montana, who at the time had played just six seasons. Stabler’s 10 consecutive postseason games with a touchdown pass was also an NFL record.

During his 15 NFL playing seasons, Stabler com-pleted 2,270 passes for 27,938 yards and 194 touch-downs.

The Detroit Lions used their sec-ond-round pick in the 1951 NFL Draft on University of San Francisco guard Dick Stanfel. The move proved to be a wise one as Stanfel became the anchor

of a dominant Lions team of that era.Stanfel suffered a knee injury while preparing

to play in the College All-Star game before joining the Lions. The injury sidelined him for the entire 1951 season. He took the field the following year and quickly established himself as one of the team leaders. The Lions advanced to the NFL champion-ship game in the first three seasons in which Stanfel played. Detroit won back-to-back world titles in 1952 and 1953.

Despite playing on the offensive line where a play-er did not receive much fanfare, Stanfel’s teammates clearly recognized his importance to the club. He was lauded with the team’s Most Valuable Player honor for the Lions’ 1953 championship season as voted on by the players. It was an award rarely bestowed to an offensive lineman.

After four seasons in Detroit, he was traded to the Washington Redskins as part of a blockbuster

four-team deal. In Washington, he was reunited with his college coach and mentor Joe Kuharich who was the Redskins head coach at the time. Stanfel played three seasons in Washington and continued to be regarded among the NFL’s elite players. Then, while performing at the top of his game, Stanfel retired at age 31 to pursue a coaching career. He followed Kuharich to Notre Dame where he accepted a job as an assistant coach before embarking on lengthy coaching career in the NFL.

Stanfel earned first-team All-Pro honors in five of his seven seasons including all three years he played for the Redskins. In addition, Stanfel was voted to four Pro Bowls during his career. His impact as a player was noted during the 1954 season when he was voted to the Pro Bowl despite the fact that he missed considerable playing time due to injury.

Stanfel was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1950s.

Charged with the vital task of continuing to be certain that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 46-person Selection Committee.

The Committee consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are 13 at-large delegates.

With the exception of the PFWA representative who is appointed for a two-year term, all appointments are of the open-end variety and can be terminated only by retirement or resignation, as long as the member continues to attend meetings regularly.

The Selection Committee meets annually at the time of the Super Bowl to elect new members. There is no set number for any class of enshrinees but, the Committee’s current ground rules do stipulate that between four and eight new members will be selected each year. The 1973 and 1976 classes of three were the smallest ever named.

Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Committee at the annual meeting before he can be elected. A scale of negative votes for elimination that will vary depending on the number of Selectors in attendance is used.

When the Selectors meet in February to name the Class of 2016, they will have before them a roster of 18 final candi-dates, along with detailed biographies on each. To assure that older players will be considered along with the younger breed, the Seniors Committee - made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee - will name two nominees from the pre-1990 era to be included on the final list.

A bylaws change to the selection process was approved by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Board of Trustees in August 2014 by which a Contributor – defined as an individual who has “made outstanding contributions to professional football in capacities other than playing or coaching” – will automati-cally be included among the annual list of finalists for election.

PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME SELECTION COMMITTEE

The Contributor finalist will also be voted on for election independent of all other finalists.

The Board, in an effort to address the backlog of deserving Contributor candidates, also approved a temporary measure allowing for two Contributor finalists in years one (starting with the Class of 2015), three and five, of the next five years.In years two and four of that same period, there will be just one Contributor finalist. At the end of the five-year period, the number of Contributor finalists going forward will be one per year.

To keep the maximum number of nominees elected at no more than eight per year, the Senior finalists will be reduced from two to one per year in years one, three and five of the same five-year period. In years two and four and each year thereafter, there will be two Senior finalists, as is now the practice.

The Contributor finalists will be selected annually, by five members, on a rotational basis, of a nine-member subcom-mittee of the Selection Committee.

The other finalists will be the survivors from a preliminary list of candidates that the Committee will have screened by mail ballot. That original list will have been in part provided by the fans themselves.

Any fan may nominate any qualified person who has been connected with pro football in any capacity simply by writing to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only restriction is that a player and coach must have last played or coached at least five seasons before he can be considered. For example, a candidate for the 2016 class must have concluded his career not later than the 2010 season.

There is no mandatory retirement period for a contributor.Every nomination received will be processed and forwarded to the Selection Committee.

It is important to emphasize that the Hall of Fame itself has no say whatsoever as to who is or is not elected to member-ship. The only function of the staff is to process the nomina-tions as they arrive and to coordinate the annual meeting.

Who Selects New Hall of Fame Members

Charged with the vital task of continuing to be certain that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 46-person Selection Committee.

The Selection Committee consists of one media representative from each geographical area with a current NFL franchise. If a geographical area has more than one franchise (such as New York City) there shall be a selector for each franchise. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are 13 at-large del-egates.

The Selection Committee meets annually at the time of the Super Bowl to elect new members to the Hall of Fame. There is no set number of new enshrinees, but the Committee’s current ground rules do stipulate that between four and eight new members will be selected each year. Every can-didate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Committee at the annual meeting before he can be elected.

How Are New Enshrinees Selected?

Any fan may nominate any player, coach or con-tributor who has been connected with pro football simply by writing to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only restriction is that a player and coach must have been retired at least five years before he can be considered. There is no mandatory retirement period for a contributor before he may be consid-ered. Every nomination of an eligible candidate received will be processed and forwarded to the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee.

Each year, the Selection Committee will be polled three times before the Final List of Preliminary Nominees is determined. The Initial Preliminary List of nominations is compiled and sent to the Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee by March 1. The list is provided so that the selectors can study the nominees and then request the addition of any other candidates that may have been overlooked. Included on this list are first-time eligible candidates who have strong enough credentials to give them even a remote chance of eventual Hall of Fame election. Also included are all other eligible candi-dates nominated by any person. Additionally, those modern-era nominees from the previous year’s final preliminary list who received at least four votes in the balloting to determine the modern-era finalists are automatically included on this preliminary list.

The Second Preliminary List is sent to the selec-tors during the month of September that includes all the nominees named on the earlier list plus any additional nominations received from any source since the first list was compiled.

The Third Preliminary List of eligible candidates is sent to the Selection Committee during the month of October for the purpose of the selection of the Modern Era semi-finalists for election. From the Third Preliminary List the Selection Committee is asked to vote for 25 Modern Era Semifinalists.

The Final Preliminary List of 25 modern-era candi-dates will be distributed to the Selection Committee during the month of November for the purpose of the selection of 15 Modern Era Nominees. The 16th, 17th, and 18th finalists are the recommended candidates of the Seniors Committee.

In advance of the Hall of Fame Selection Meeting in February, the selectors are provided detailed biographies on each of the 18 finalist candidates. At the annual meeting, each of the nominees is thor-oughly discussed by the committee before a series of reduction votes are taken. First, the senior candi-date(s) and Contributor candidate(s) are discussed and voted on for election. They must receive the same 80 percent affirmative vote as the modern-era candidates. Next, there is a vote that reduces the modern-era finalists list from 15 to 10. Following that, a vote is taken to reduce the list from 10 to 5 names. The five remaining candidates for Hall of Fame election are then voted on individually (yes or no) for membership.

In order to be elected a finalist must receive a minimum of 80% of the vote. All ballots are col-lected and counted by the firm Deloitte & Touche. No vote totals are announced – only the winners of the various reduction ballots are revealed to the selectors and the Hall’s representatives.

How Are Senior and Contributor Candidates Chosen?

To assure that older players, whose active careers have been completed at least 25 years, as well as those individuals who contributed to the game in ways other than playing and coaching will be consid-ered along with the Modern Era players, a Seniors Committee and a Contributors Committee, each made up of nine veteran members of the overall Selection Committee, have been established.

Like the full Committee, the members of the Seniors Committee are provided a preliminary list

period, there will be just one Contributor finalist.At the end of the five-year period, the number of Contributor finalists going forward will be one per year.

To keep the maximum number of nominees elected at no more than eight per year, the Senior finalists will be reduced from two to one per year in years one, three and five of the same five-year period. In years two and four and each year there-after, there will be two Senior finalists, as is now the practice.

The Contributor finalists will be selected annu-ally, by five members, on a rotational basis, of a nine-member subcommittee of the Selection Committee.

Is a New Hall of Fame Member Enshrined as a Member of a Team?

Obviously, teams take great pride in the accom-plishments of individuals who have been a part of their organization. Often individual teams and even the Hall of Fame will list enshrinees according to the team or teams on which they spent a significant period of time. An enshrinee, however, is not asked to “declare,” nor does the Hall of Fame “choose” a team under which a new member is enshrined. When elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an individual is recognized for his accomplishments as a player, coach, or contributor.

ELIGIBILITY CHARTA player or coach must not have played or coached for five full seasons before he is eligible for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The chart below can be used as a quick reference to determine when a player or coach will be, was, or is first eligible for the Hall of Fame. For instance, 2014 enshrinee Andre Reed last played in 2000. Therefore, he was first eligible for the Class of 2006. Counting upward from 2006, one can determine that he was elected in his ninth year of eligibility.

of eligible nominees. The list, which is compiled and mailed to the selectors by June 1, includes carry-over nominations from the previous year, first-time eligible candidates, and nominations from any outside source. By way of a mail ballot the Committee members reduce the list to 15 Senior Nominee finalists. Five members of the nine-man Committee, selected on a rotating basis, are des-ignated to attend the annual Seniors Committee meeting held in Canton, where they are charged with the responsibility of nominating candidate(s) from that list to be among the 18 finalists for Hall of Fame election. In advance of the meeting, each selector is provided with detailed biographical infor-mation on the candidates.

Senior Committee members are assisted during their annual meeting by two Hall of Fame consul-tants, chosen by the Hall’s president, who were con-temporaries of the majority of the nominees. The consultants offer only their opinions and are not entitled to vote. After each candidate is discussed thoroughly, the consultants are excused from the meeting. Additional discussion is conducted fol-lowed by a series of reduction votes that results in the naming of Senior Nominee(s).

Although the Senior Nominee(s) and Contributor Nominee(s) will be presented to the full Selection Committee as a finalist, their election to the Hall of Fame is not automatic. The Senior Nominee(s) and Contributor Nominee(s) must receive the same minimum 80% of the vote as a Modern Era candi-date to be elected.

Bylaw changes instituted beginning with the Class of 2015 added the Contributor finalist who will be voted on independent of the other nominees. Like all other finalists, a Contributor nominee needs to receive an eighty percent positive vote for election by the 46-member Selection Committee.

Contributors have previously been part of the modern-era nomination list that included coach-es and players. The result has been that since 1963, when the Hall of Fame first opened, only 19 Contributors have been elected and 10 of those were elected in the first five Hall of Fame classes, including six as Charter Members.

In an effort to address the backlog of deserv-ing Contributor candidates, also approved in the change to the selection process is a temporary measure allowing for two Contributor finalists in years one (starting in 2015), three and five, of the next five years. In years two and four of that same

The selection of a senior nominee, known as

the old-timer candidate until 1990, was added to the process in 1972. In 1990, Bob St. Clair semi-

seriously stated he didn’t like being called an “old-timer.” The Hall reacted to his “complaint” and

the term was changed to “senior.”

NOTE: In this listing – a Hall of Famer is named under all clubs on which he made his primary contribution to professional football – (i.e. – Chuck Noll is listed under Pittsburgh as a coach – but not under Cleveland as a player). Hall of Famers who made the major part of their primary contribution for any one club are listed in CAPS. In cases where a player contributed about equally and/or in a major way to two or more clubs – he is listed in CAPS under both clubs (ie.Curley Culp is listed with both the Chiefs and the Titans (Oilers) as his primary teams). Hall of Famers who spent only a minor portion of their career with any club are listed under that club in lower case.(The numbers inside of the parentheses following the team’s name indicates the number of primary Hall of Famers followed by the number of Hall of Famers who spent a minor portion of their career with the team).Year - Subscript next to Hall of Famer’s name is the year of his induction.

(Since 1970) * Seniors Candidate # Contributor Candidate – In those cases when a player’s career ended prior to 1963, the year of eligibility is based on the amount of years since the Hall opened in 1963 rather than the years from when the player last played.– Prior to 1970, the procedure of naming 15 Finalists was not defined.In 2007, bylaws changed to include 17 Finalists comprised of 15 Modern-Era nominees and two Senior Candidates. A Contributor category was added for the 2015 Selection Process bringing the total number of Finalists to 18.

He was finalist twice (2001, 2002) following his announced retirement as head coach of the New York Jets in 1999. At the time, the Hall of Fame By-Laws only required a coach to be retired and not the now five-season waiting period. Parcells returned to coach the Dallas Cowboys and the five-year waiting period was in effect when he retired from coaching in 2006 thereby making him eligble in 2012.

“The virtuous part of having this patience also means that the day I was selected to

the Hall of Fame this last January couldn’t have been a better day because it would have been the 100th anniversary of the birth of Art Rooney,

Sr., the founder of this football team.

“If 14 years had not passed, then I would not be here today with the great patience, and support, and love of my wife Charena. Of being able to stand here in front of you and having my two sons Shafer and Braxton, who are five and three years old to be here and be a part

of this afternoon. I’m glad 14 years passed so I could have this love and this family share in this moment with me.”

- Excerpt from Lynn Swann’s enshrinement speech on August 4, 2001. Swann was a finalist for 14 straight years.

Two Senior nominees selected starting in 2004. # Subscript number indicates the number of times as finalist. No subscript number indicates a person’s first time as finalist.

Reduction votes during annual Selection Meeting. Since 2007, the selection process includes a cutdown of the 15 Modern-Era Finalists during the annual selection meeting separate of the two senior nominees. The Selection Committee first pares the list from 15 to 10; then 10 to 5. At that point, a yes or no vote is tabulated of the final five finalists. An individual is elected to the Hall of Fame if he receives at least 80 percent affirmative vote. The reduction votes have varied over the years. Included with this list are the reduction votes that took place under the rules at the time. In the past, the finalists numbered 15 that included 13 Modern-Era candi-dates and the two senior nominees and the senior nominees were included in the reduction vote. The reduction votes are listed from 1999 to 2012.

The NFL/Hall of Fame Game series began in 1962, one year before the museum opened. A National Football League preseason game has been played in Canton each year but twice since that inaugural game. No game was played in 1966 as the preseason schedule was not set in time to include Canton for a neutral site game. In 2011, the NFL lockout was not resolved in time to play the game.

Beginning in 1971, following the AFL-NFL merger, an AFC vs. NFC format was adopted for the Hall of Fame series. Preset schedules were created that called for each team to make a visit to Canton over 14- and 15-year periods through 1994. In 1995, the NFL selected the Hall of Fame Game to showcase the debut of the league’s newest expansion teams – the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Since that time, the NFL designates the teams for the Hall of Fame Game on a season-by-season basis. The game normally includes teams with significant milestones (such as the return of the Cleveland Browns in 1999 and the Houston Texans inaugural game in 2002) or a connection to the Hall’s current class. The Hall of Fame games were played on Sunday afternoons from 1963 to 1965. The inaugural game and those played from 1967 through 1997 were played on Saturday afternoons. Then, in 1998, the Hall of Fame game was switched to primetime with kickoff moved to Saturday evening. One year later, the game moved to Monday night. In 2006, the Hall of Fame Game returned to Sunday.

The NFL/Hall of Fame Game was televised nationally by ABC from 1971-2005. The game was broadcast by NBC since 2006, with the exception of 2007 and 2012 when the game aired on NFL Network. In 2016, the game will be televised by ESPN.

TOM BENSON HALL OF FAME STADIUMIn the Beginning The stadium was built from 1937-1939 at an estimated cost of $500,000. The federal government in the form of man power, the WPA, paid for $400,000 while a school board bond issue paid for the materials. The stadium originally seated 15,000 and was the largest high school stadium in the country at that time. Originally named Fawcett Stadium after John A. Fawcett, a community leader, member of the Canton City school board, and a gifted athlete, the stadium was renamed Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in 2014.

The Future A key component to the Hall of Fame Village project is Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The venue is being converted into a world-class sports and entertainment complex over a two-year span. The stadium is designed by HKS, a world renowned architectural firm that has previously developed AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys and U.S.Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. Completed by summer of 2016 will be one side of new stands and a fan plaza that connects the stadium to the Hall and the rest of Hall of Fame Village. Unique in its design, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Village will have a permanent built-in stage to handle the annual Enshrinement ceremony, concerts and other major events. The second phase of construction begins immediately after this year’s Enshrinement Week and will be completed in the summer of 2017.

“Although the scale and capacity of this venue is not as large as some of our more recent football stadiums, the quality of fan experience and overall intimacy within the venue will be unmatched in sports.” – Mark Williams, HKS

Enshrinement Ceremony The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s enshrinement ceremony is one of the great events in sports. In 2002, the annual enshrinement was moved from the Hall’s front steps back to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, where it had been held from 1963 to 1965. A grand stage is erected to accommodate the many returning Hall of Fame members who participate in the annual induction.

Hall of Fame Game The Hall of Fame Game series began in 1962, one year before the museum opened. A National Football League pre-season game has been played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium each year except two since that inaugural game. No game was played in 1966 as the preseason schedule was not set in time to include Canton for a neutral site game. The game was canceled in 2011 due to a lockout.

Beginning in 1971, following the AFL-NFL merger, an AFC vs. NFC format was adopted for the Hall of Fame series. Preset schedules were created that called for each team to make a visit to Canton over 14- and 15-year periods through 1994. In 1995, the NFL selected the Hall of Fame Game to showcase the debut of the league’s newest expansion teams - the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Since that time, the NFL desig-nates the teams for the Hall of Fame Game on a season-by-season basis. The game normally includes teams with significant milestones (such as the return of the Cleveland Browns in 1999 and the Houston Texans inaugural game in 2002) or a connection to the Hall’s most recent class.

In 2006, the Hall of Fame Game returned to Sunday. The Hall of Fame games were played on Sunday afternoons from 1963 to 1965. The inaugural game and those played from 1967 through 1997 were played on Saturday afternoons. Then, in 1998, the Hall of Fame game was switched to primetime with kickoff moved to Saturday evening. One year later, the game moved to Monday night.

The Hall of Fame Game was televised nationally by ABC from 1971-2005. In 2006, NBC broadcast the game followed by the NFL Network in 2007. The game returned to NBC in 2008. The game was broadcast by NFL Network in 2012 and will be aired by ESPN in 2016.
