The Green Bay Packers have their 29th Pro Football Hall of Famer. After a long wait, former three-time first-team All-Pro receiver Sterling Shape has finally made it to the Hall of Fame as a senior candidate. He will join his brother, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, in football history.
Sharpe was originally drafted by the Packers in 1988 out of the University of South Carolina. In his seven seasons in the NFL, Sharpe recorded 595 receptions for 8,134 yards and 65 touchdowns. In his final year in the league, he recorded 18 touchdown receptions, which at the time was the second most in any season in NFL history.
