The latest additions include South Florida local Cris Carter, one of the greatest wide receivers of all time, an eight-time Pro Bowler, and a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year recipient. Joining him is linebacker Rickey Jackson, a dominant force on the New Orleans Saints' "Dome Patrol" defense, known for his relentless pass rushing and leadership, racking up 128 career sacks and earning a Super Bowl victory with the San Francisco 49ers. Also committed is running back Eric Dickerson, one of the most electrifying rushers in NFL history, who set the single season rushing record with 2,105 yards in 1984, mesmerizing fans with his signature upright running style. Rounding out the group is return specialist and wide receiver Devin Hester, widely regarded as the greatest return man in NFL history, holding the record for most return touchdowns and making an unforgettable impact with his opening kickoff return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLI. These NFL greats join an impressive list of already committed Pro Football Hall of Fame members, including James Lofton, Orlando Pace, Andre Reed, Tim Brown, Marshall Faulk, Derrick Brooks, Steve Hutchinson, Roger Wehrli, John Randle, Mike Haynes, Anthony Muñoz, Demarcus Ware, Morten Andersen, Warren Sapp, Rondé Barber, Dwight Freeney, and Calvin Johnson.
