Almost 30,000 men have played in at least one NFL game, but only 362 have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That number includes owners, coaches, general managers and the like.

Wow.

On Saturday, former Bears defensive tackle Steve McMichael is entering the hallowed hall in Canton, Ohio. Of course, the Texas-born ‘‘Mongo’’ won’t be marching in for the ceremony.
