While the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys kicked off the NFL preseason with their meeting in Canton, Ohio, the biggest reason the NFL gathers in the birthplace of pro football is to honor its own with enshrinement in the Hall of Fame.
This year's class includes six notable players and an owner who has been making waves in the league for nearly three decades.
The players who will get their bronze busts and gold jackets include safety Kenny Easley, running back Terrell Davis, quarterback Kurt Warner, running back LaDainian Tomlinson, defensive end Jason Taylor and placekicker Morten Andersen.
