Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice Get Into the Hall of Fame

Yesterday was the announcement of the Pro Hall of Fame class of 2010. 7 Players were chosen and two individuals stood above the rest: Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice.

Emmitt Smith played for the Cowboys for most of his career. During that time he has won 3 Superbowls in which he was named MVP once in Superbowl 28. He even won NFL MVP in 1993. He would finish his career with the Cardinals playing his last season in 2004. He has the all time career records in rushing yards (18,355 Yards), rushing TDs (164), and Rushing Attempts (4,409). He is definitely the most accomplished running back of all time and might be the best.

There is no argument though for the next Hall of Famer, Jerry Rice. He mainly played the 49ers and was the best compliment for Joe Montana and Steve Young. Jerry would win 3 Superbowls himself and was also a MVP in Superbowl 23. Jerry would also end up with several NFL Career Records including most Receiving Yards (22,895), Most Receiving TDs (197), Most Receptions (1,549), Most TDs Period (208), and Most Yards from Scrimmage (23,540). Jerry Rice could be the best offensive player outside of a QB and is by far the best Wide Receiver of All Time.

The other inductees are Ben Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little, and John Randle. Congrats to them as well but of course when the ceremony comes, Jerry and Emmitt will be the main attraction.
