CANTON, Ohio -- To put an exclamation point on a weekend former Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said "might not really totally sink in for a long, long time," the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2019 was formally enshrined Saturday night at Tom Benson Stadium.
The eight newest enshrinees include 55 combined Pro Bowl selections to go with one of the league's most successful owners in Pat Bowlen and one of its formative personnel executives in Gil Brandt.
Each of the newest Hall of Famers, sporting the signature gold jackets they received in a ceremony in downtown Canton on Friday night, will do the best they can to acknowledge those who help point them in the right direction along the way and to put, into words, what it all meant to them.
