On Saturday night, the Pro Football Hall of Fame officially inducted their latest class. It was a magical night in Canton, Ohio for several candidates whose dreams had come true, and they celebrated with speeches, the revealing of the bust, the sporting of the jacket and lots of applause and fanfare from all.
For a Kansas City Chiefs legend, the countdown now begins as he looks forward to the voting process and ultimately a certain inclusion in Canton as a first-time eligible player on the ballot. Tony Gonzalez is considered a near-lock to secure a spot in the Hall on his first opportunity (a rare honor) due to his incredible resume that so few, even among the most elite skill position players in the business, can touch.
