LaDainian Tomlinson, Kurt Warner head seven-person HOF class

Former Seahawks safety Kenny Easley made it as a senior-committee inductee.

Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, also nominated as a contributor, failed to secure the necessary votes to be elected. Congratulations to Warner and the rest of this year’s class, as Rams fans can’t wait to hear his speech once next season rolls around. I see a lot of decisions here that I think are questionable. He was the 4th National Football League running back to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. His 31 touchdowns scored in 2006 are still the single-season record.

Taylor is seventh all-time in sacks with 139 and-a-half.

This year’s Hall of Famers will be enshrined in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, in August.

Owens didn’t make it this year, either.

Owens’ numbers are among the best in National Football League history. Along with Warner, the Rams were fortunate enough to have two other all-time greats on offense in Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce. “Heart, dedication, one of the best ever”.

Getting an opportunity was a challenge for Warner throughout his professional career. After that, however, he only started 16 total games the rest of his career and played seven seasons total. He is the namesake of Clemson’s Brian Dawkins Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor established by Clemson coach Dabo Swinney in 2013 to recognize former Tiger football players for their performance on the field along with contributions in leadership and community service. He was the engine that brought Denver their first two Super Bowl victories.

The Broncos won the Super Bowl after the ’97 and ’98 seasons, with Davis rushing 30 times for 157 yards and three touchdowns in Super Bowl XXXII and 25 times for 102 yards in Super Bowl XXXIII.

Not many kickers are called to the Hall, but Morten Anderson is one of them. Owens was a six-time Pro Bowler and five-time first team All-Pro.

No player rushed for more yards (6,413) or touchdowns (56) than Davis did from from 1995-98. He finished his career with one-year stints in Buffalo and Cincinnati. Although he didn’t play the full season, Owens’ presence gave the franchise the swagger and extra edge needed to make it to the Super Bowl. Reed had 64 career interceptions and Polamalu 32.
