CANTON, Ohio (AP) - Deion, Marshall and Shannon. Three players
often referred to by their first names, and soon to be known as
Hall of Famers.
Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk and Shannon Sharpe will be
inducted into the Pro Football shrine Saturday night. Sanders and
Faulk were slam dunks in their first year of eligibility.
Joining that trio will be Richard Dent, Chris Hanburger, Les
Richter and Ed Sabol.
Sanders was one of football's most versatile and entertaining
players, earning the nickname "Prime Time." Faulk was the
league's MVP in 2000 and the Offensive Player of the Year from
1999-2001. Sharpe retired with 10,060 yards receiving and 62
touchdowns, monstrous numbers for a tight end.
