Packers legend Sterling Sharpe elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame

Green Bay Packers legend Sterling Sharpe is going to Canton. On Thursday night, Sharpe was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2025.

Sharpe was voted in as a Senior candidate, only one of three finalists in the category.

In his seven years with the Packers, Sharpe was a Pro Bowler five times and selected as a first-team All-Pro three times. He was the No. 7 overall pick in the 1988 draft out of South Carolina.

In 1992, he set the NFL record for the most receptions in a single season with 108 and then broke his own record in 1993 when he caught 112 passes.

In addition to Sharpe, Jared Allen, Eric Allen and Antonio Gates have also been elected to the Hall of Fame.
