Brett Favre headlines this year’s class.


Favre, who holds the record for most consecutive starts as well as the single-season records for most completions, attempts and -- yes -- interceptions, is one of the most prolific passers ever. He led the league in touchdown passes on four occasions and threw more than 3,800 yards in 13 different seasons. The Green Bay Packers great is also considered to be one of the most clutch quarterbacks of his generation, largely due to his brilliance during the Packers' 1996 Super Bowl run. (Ironically, the last pass he ever threw in the playoffs was a game-costing interception against the New Orleans Saints in the 2009 NFC Championship while he was with the Minnesota Vikings.)
Dungy's Colts finally broke through at the conclusion of the 2006 season and won Super Bowl XLI over the Chicago Bears. His career record in 13 seasons with the Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is 139-69, and he won nine out of 19 playoff contests. But perhaps the greatest mark Dungy leaves on the game is the Tampa 2 Defense, the 4-3 defensive alignment scheme that he popularized with the Buccaneers in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Former wide receiver Marvin Harrison, who played under Dungy in Indianapolis, will be enshrined into the Hall as well. He'll be joined by ex-offensive linemen Orlando Pace and Dick Stanfel and former linebacker Kevin Greene.
One of the more emotional inductions of the night promises to be former quarterback Ken Stabler, who passed away last summer. He was posthumously diagnosed with CTE earlier this year. Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. rounds out the eight-man Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
