Each year, 15 candidates are considered for induction into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The Hall of Famers who have signed this booklet have
each written the year in which they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of
Fame. BOB LILLY, who played defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, was
the team's first-ever draft choice. Lilly, who had unusual speed, strength and
recovery ability, played in five NFL/NFC title games, 11 Pro Bowls and two Super
Bowls. JOHNNY UNITAS (1933-2002), considered one of the game's greatest
quarterbacks, led the Baltimore Colts to two consecutive NFL crowns (1958, 1959)
Player of the Year three times and MVP three times in 10 Pro Bowls, Unitas threw
at least one TD pass in 47 straight games. He had a career record of 2,830
passes for 40,239 yards and 290 touchdowns. Wide receiver DON MAYNARD,
the first signee of the 1960 AFL Titans, caught a career-high 72 passes during
his first season. Maynard, who played in three AFL All-Star games, later teamed
with Joe Namath to form a dynamic pass-catch duo. During his career, he had 633
receptions for 11,834 yards, 88 touchdowns and 530 points. MEL BLOUNT was
considered the prototype cornerback of his era. Blount, who was drafted by the
Pittsburgh Steelers in 1970, played in four Super Bowls and five Pro Bowls and
in 200 of 201 regular season games. His career stats include 57 interceptions,
736 yards and 13 opponents' fumble recoveries. SONNY JURGENSEN, who began
his career as a quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles, was an exceptional
passer and superb team leader. He won three NFL individual passing titles and
surpassed 3,000 yards in five seasons. Despite numerous injuries, he racked up
2,433 completions for 32,224 yards and 225 touchdowns during his career.
Quarterback TERRY BRADSHAW led the Pittsburgh Steelers to eight AFC
Central titles and four Super Bowl victories. The AFC Player of the Year in 1978
and MVP in Super Bowls XIII and XIV, he had an excellent throwing arm and called
his own plays. Bradshaw held Super Bowl records of nine touchdowns and 932 yards
and post-season records of 30 TDs and 3,833 yards. Fine
condition.
