The lone finalist from the Seniors, Coach and Contributor categories to make the Hall in 2025, Sharpe knows a thing or two about maximizing his opportunities. An NFL pro for just seven seasons, the three-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver still enters Canton as a highly decorated player. Sharpe led the league in receptions three times in his seven seasons, all with the Packers, including his historic 1992 campaign, during which he paced all pass catchers in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns. One of Brett Favre’s favorite targets in Green Bay, Sharpe would have had an even more prolific career if not for a neck injury discovered after the 1994 season, his last in the NFL. Sharpe went out with a bang, catching a league-high 18 TDs in ’94, but he just missed out on a Super Bowl title, which the Packers claimed without him during the 1996 campaign. After retiring as a member of the Green and Gold, Sharpe is now the the second member of his family to earn a gold jacket; his brother, Shannon, a champion tight end for Denver and Baltimore, was inducted in 2011. Sterling’s election is therefore a historic one, as he and Shannon are the first pair of brothers to be enshrined in the Pro Football Football of Fame. Football is family, forever.
