CANTON, Ohio — Those Super Bowl rings had a blinding shine to them at Saturday night’s Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions.
From a championship coach to linemen on both sides of the ball, the 2013 class features an enviable resume of success.
There’s Bill Parcells, winner of two NFL titles as a coach and master of the franchise turnaround. Jonathan Ogden, one of the premier offensive tackles of his time and owner of a Super Bowl ring. Larry Allen, to whom the same accolades can be applied, and a 1995 champion.
Warren Sapp, an outstanding defensive tackle with a personality as big as any football stadium — and a 2002 champ.
Dave Robinson, a major cog in Green Bay’s championship machine under Vince Lombardi, winning the first two Super Bowls. Curley Culp, one of the original pass-rushing demons at defensive tackle who got his ring with the 1969 Chiefs.
Indeed, only wide receiver Cris Carter, merely No. 4 in career receptions and TD catches, is the only member of this year’s class who never won a title.
Quite a group for the Hall’s 50th anniversary celebration, which began last Friday with a record 120 hall members attended the ceremonies.
