Dick LeBeau finally made it into the NFL Hall of Fame. When one considers his numbers, it's surprising that it took this long. Fortunately, LeBeau is still of sound mind and body and can appreciate the honor unlike other players who have been inducted some 40 years after their playing days.

"Well, it's a lifelong dream, really. I just cannot imagine anything else that could be any more rewarding for any individual who has made football ... I've been fortunate enough to make football my life pursuit. Now, to have my name alongside all those great NFL players throughout history is an incredibly humbling honor. I just can't believe it, to be honest, and I am so much indebted to our current players and to the players who took me to the Super Bowl and kept my name current, even though it's been a long, long time since I've played.''
