Saturday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony will be one for the record books, literally. Both Jerry Rice, the NFL’s All-Time Leading Receiver (22,895 yards) and Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s All-Time Leading Rusher (18,355 yards) will be enshrined in the same class. These two spectacular players are joined by five other athletes whose stellar careers, spanning over four decades, made football the sport to watch. Here’s a brief career overview for the Class of 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinees:

Russ Grimm

Grimm (Left Guard / University of Pittsburgh) was a third round draft choice by the Washington Redskins in 1981. He played his entire career with the Redskins (1981-1991) and was a member of the famed “Hogs” offensive line. Grimm, an All-Pro, played in four Super Bowls, earning three rings. Grimm becomes the 18th Redskins enshrinee.

Rickey Jackson

Jackson (Linebacker / University of Pittsburgh) was drafted in second round by the New Orleans Saints in 1981. He was known as a ferocious pass rusher, tackler and sack-master, spearheading the Saints preeminent defense. Jackson played for the Saints (1981-1993) and the San Francisco 49ers (1994-1995) and was named to the Pro Bowl six times. Jackson becomes the first New Orleans Saints player to be enshrined.

Dick LeBeau

LeBeau (Cornerback / Ohio State) was a fifth round selection by the Cleveland Browns in 1959. He signed with Detroit Lions during rookie camp after being cut by the Browns. LeBeau played his entire career with the Lions (1959-1972) and ranks third all-time amongst cornerbacks for interceptions.

Little (Running Back / Syracuse) was a first round draft selection by the Denver Broncos in 1967. He won the NFL Rushing Title and became the Broncos’ first 1,000 yard rusher during his fourth year in the League.

A Senior Nominee, Little is only the second career Broncos player to be enshrined.

Jerry Rice

Rice (Wide Receiver / Mississippi Valley State) was a first round draft selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 1985. He is arguably the greatest wide receiver to ever play the game.
