Elway, Sanders Canton Bound
Sunday February 1, 2004
As expected, on their first appearance on the ballot, NFL Legends John Elway and Barry Sanders have been selected for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Sanders, who may have been the most elusive back in NFL history, racked up 15,269 yards over ten years with the Detroit Lions. He walked away from the game while still in his prime after the 1998 season.
Elway was the king of the comeback, leading the Broncos on 47 fourth-quarter winning or tying drives. He passed for 300 touchdowns and over 50,000 yards during his 16 years in Denver. He also played in five Super Bowls, winning the last two in the final two years of his career.
Also joining Elway and Sanders in the class of 2004 are tackle Bob Brown and defensive lineman Carl Eller.
