In the day's most touching moment, Kelly looked down at his fragile son and said, "It's been written that the trademark of my career was toughness. The toughest person I ever met in my life was my son, my hero, Hunter. I love you, buddy."

Bills Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy, who presented Kelly for induction, proclaimed, "Jim Kelly, No. 12. He cared about winning. He cared about his team and his teammates. He cared about his family. His arm was great, but so was his heart."

And Kelly showed that heart week after week, on the field and off. He led the Bills to the playoffs eight times, and, although the Bills lost all four Super Bowl appearances, the fact that they made it to the big game so frequently is incredible. It's an accomplishment that might never be matched, especially in today's system of salary-cap driven parity.

Kelly headlined a cast of inductees that included the Pittsburgh Steelers' John Stallworth, a four-time Pro Bowler who won four Super Bowl rings in the 70's, George Allen, one of the more inspirational coaches in NFL history, Dan Hampton, a versatile defensive lineman who was instrumental in the success of the Chicago Bears during the 80s, and Dave Casper, a member of the 1970s All-Decade Team.

Jim Kelly secured a place in the hearts of Bills fans the moment he put on the uniform. His performance on and off the field will forever be echoed in the halls in Canton, Ohio, and in the hearts of football fans everywhere!

John Stallworth is probably best remembered for scoring the winning touchdown on a 73-yard reception in Super Bowl XIV. A veteran of six AFC championship games and all four Steelers Super Bowl triumphs, he was named all-pro in 1979 and also participated in four Pro Bowls.

Dan Hampton was a huge part of the success of the Chicago Bears during the 1980s. He excelled at defensive end as well as defensive tackle, and was named All-Pro at both positions. Richard Dent and William "The Refrigerator" Perry were frequent recipients of attention in the media, but Hampton was the anchor that occupied defenders so guys like Dent, Perry, and middle linebacker Mike Singletary could roam free.

Dave Casper, also known as "The Ghost", was named All-Pro and All-AFC four consecutive years (1976-1979), and was also selected to play in five Pro Bowls (1977-1981). The sure-handed tight end holds the distinction of being involved in two of the NFL's legendary plays; "The Ghost to the Post", and "The Holy Roller".

George Allen was one of the most inspirational football coaches and human beings to ever walk onto a football field. His work ethic was unmatched, and in 12 seasons as an NFL head coach, he never had a losing record. His teams made the playoffs seven times and only twice finished as low as third in their division.
