Hall of Fame class of 2014 biographies...

OOPS! i forget to do one thing last month that i said that i would do... the day before Super Bowl XLVIII,the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their 2014 class:Ray Guy,Andre Reed,Claude Humphery,Michael Strahan,Aeneas Williams,and Derrick Brooks... 1)Ray Guy:he had 619 punts,before having a punt blocked;had five punts of 60+ yards,in 1981,had 210 punts inside the 20 yard line(not counting first three seasons,when the NFL did not count the stat)and only 128 touchbacks,in his career,and had a 42.4 yard career punting average... simply the best pure punter in history!!!!!! 2) Andre Reed:one of three Hall of Fame members(Jim Kelly,and Thurman Thomas are the others)that led the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls,and one of the best wide receivers,in NFL history,period!!!!!! 3)Claude Humphery:had 126.5 sacks,in 171 regular season games,and two safeties,in his NFL career,for the Atlanta Falcons,and Philadelphia Eagles;played in Super Bowl XV,for the Eagles,and threw penalty flag at referee Ben Dreith,for a roughing the passer call on Raiders' quarterback Jim Plunkett... classic moment!!!!!! 4)Michael Strahan:had 141.5 sacks,and 854 tackles,with four interceptions,and three touchdowns,in his NFL career... a real beast of a linebacker/defensive end!!!!!! 5)Aeneas Williams:had 795 tackles,and 55 interceptions,with nine touchdowns,for the Cardinals,and the Rams... he actually hit 49ers' quarterback Steve Young,during week three,of the 1999 NFL season(Cardinals/49ers game)and gave him a concussion,that basically ended his Hall of Fame career... a real hitter!!!!!! 6)Derrick Brooks:a book end defensive lineman with Hall of Fame member Warren Sapp,with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... started 221 of the 224 games that he has played;had 1,715 tackles,with 25 interceptions,including one memorable interception return for touchdown,in Super Bowl XXXVII,against the Oakland Raiders... a real game changer!!!!!!
