will be needed for the entire 60 minutes on Saturday.It is a very big game and we have to go hard all week in practice and take it day b

CANTON, Ohio -- Eddie DeBartolo Jr. is the only member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2016 who did not play in the NFL. He also wants everybody to know something else about him.?I have a confession to make: I could be the only inductee of this great Hall who didnt make his high school football team, DeBartolo said.To share this stage with these amazing gentlemen behind me is more than humbling. We all may be wearing the same jackets, but they have shoes that I could never, ever fill.DeBartolo played an instrumental role in turning the San Francisco 49ers from being one of the worst teams to one of the best teams on a regular basis. He hired Bill Walsh as coach and drafted Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. The 49ers won five Super Bowls with DeBartolo as owner, who also had players such as Steve Young and safety Ronnie Lott. The 49ers won an average of 13 games from 1981 to 1998.DeBartolo was one of eight members of the 2016 class honored during Saturday nights Hall of Fame ceremony. He was inducted along with receiver Marvin Harrison, coach Tony Dungy, quarterback Brett Favre, linebacker Kevin Greene, offensive tackle Orlando Pace, quarterback Ken Stabler and offensive guard Dick Stanfel.Stabler and Stanfel were enshrined posthumously.Im standing here as a member of the Class of 2016, and no doubt its a great individual honor. No doubt it is, Greene said. But I must be honest, I am standing on the shoulders of many, many players, many coaches, many people.Greene recorded at least 10 sacks in 10 of his 15 seasons, including at least 14 sacks five times. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times -- twice each with?Pittsburgh and Carolina and once with the Rams.Harrison spent his entire 13-year career with the Indianapolis Colts, with whom he compiled 1,102 receptions, 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns. Harrisons single-season receptions record of 143, set in 2002, still stands today.Harrison spoke of his gratitude to those who supported him throughout his career.The fans is what makes this game possible, Harrison said. I say this from the bottom of my heart. No offense, Green Bay, I had the best fans in the game.Im from Philadelphia, the home of the Eagles, he added. If you get the coin toss wrong in Philadelphia, they want to trade you the first thing Monday morning. So I wasnt used to that in Indianapolis. So we had the best fans.Hes equally grateful for the Hall of Fame executive who led the Colts throughout Harrisons career.Bill Polian, 15, 16, 17 years ago, we crossed paths in the locker room, and Bill Polian said, Whats up, Hall of Famer? and Im like, What is this guy talking about? Harrison said. Im in my sixth, seventh year and hes talking about Hall of Fame. That just goes to show you why hes up here today [as a Hall of Famer] as part of this elite group. He can pick out talent a mile away.In terms of talent, Harrison spent much of his career paired with future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning.Peyton, I want to say that you came into the league in your first year and I was happy to be a part of that, Harrison said. And I saw the work ethic that you had, and we carried that on for quite a few more years. So I want to thank you, too, Peyton.?Like Harrison, Pace played 13 years in the NFL, 12 with the Rams and one with the Chicago Bears. The Rams had seven 1,000-yard rushing seasons with Pace, who was selected to the Pro Bowl for seven straight seasons from 2000 to 2006. Pace and the Rams won Super Bowl XXXVI.My dream started when I was 7 years old in Sandusky [Ohio]. With my size and athletic ability, maybe God had destined me for something great, Pace said. The dream always begins as a dream. It takes hard work to make it a reality.Stanfel was a four-time Pro Bowler while playing with the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins during a career that spanned 1952-58. He was the offensive line coach for the Bears when they won Super Bowl XX.Dungy coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Colts. Dungy led the Colts and Buccaneers to the playoffs in 11 of his 13 seasons coaching those teams.The Colts won at least 10 games in all seven seasons under Dungy. They won five division titles during that span, and Dungy became the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl.It was a bittersweet night for Dungy, who was given one of his biggest breaks in the profession by the late Dennis Green, ?who hired him as defensive coordinator of the?Minnesota Vikings?in 1992 and got him on path to be an NFL head coach.Denny went out of his way to teach me the responsibilities of being a head coach, taught me about things on and off the field, Dungy said. He did it because he wanted to see me become a head coach, and he wanted me to be prepared and be ready when that opportunity came, and I love him for that.Dungy also asked all of his former players in attendance to stand up during the ceremony: Theres no doubt in my mind that Im up here because of you, he said.?Stabler quarterbacked the Oakland Raiders to the AFC title game each season from 1973 to 1977. His 59.85 completion percentage was second all time at the time of his retirement in 1984. Stabler was 12-of-19 for 180 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in the Raiders 32-14 victory over the?Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Stabler and Young were the only left-handed quarterbacks to start and win a Super Bowl.Favre, who spoke last, was an 11-time Pro Bowler during his 16-year career. Favre led the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls. They beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. Favre, who never thought he couldnt complete a pass, held the NFL career record in passing yards (71,838), completions (6,300), most 3,000-yard passing seasons (18) and touchdown passes (508) when he retired following the 2010 season after spending his career with the Atlanta Falcons, Packers, Vikings and New York Jets.Freddie Freeman Jersey .

Jerry Royster Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi States defense was supposed to be one of the teams strengths this season.Instead, its ranged from a mild disappointment to a downright disaster and its a big reason Mississippi State enters Saturdays Egg Bowl against Ole Miss in a tie with their in-state rival for last place in the SECs Western Division.The last two weeks have been particularly ugly: The Bulldogs have given up a combined 109 points and 1,276 yards in losses to Alabama and Arkansas, including last weekends 58-42 setback to the Razorbacks .Mississippi State gave up a season-high 661 total yards against Arkansas. Rawleigh Williams ran for a career-high 205 yards and four touchdowns while Austin Allen threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns for the Razorbacks, who moved up and down the field without much resistance.Coach Dan Mullen said the game tape was predictably gruesome.There were a lot of issues everywhere, Mullen said. We didnt fit right, missed alignments, poor communication and missed tackles. Not a very good performance.The continued problems for Mississippi States defense are surprising, especially considering seven seniors are listed as starters. Veterans like linebacker Richie Brown and defensive linemen A.J. Jefferson were part of the Bulldog teams that had so much success in 2014 and 15, but new defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon hasnt been able to parlay that experience into good results this fall.The Bulldogs (4-7, 2-5 SEC) have one more chance to get it right on Saturday when they travel to face the Rebels (5-6, 2-5) in Oxford, Mississippi.Ole Miss has had one of best offenses in the league for most of the season, but it hasnt been quite as prolific over the past few weeks since freshman Shea Patterson took over for injured senior Chad Kelly.ddddddddddddThe 6-foot-2, 200-pound Patterson will be making his third career start. Hes had some good moments in his first two starts -- which included a win over Texas A&M and a loss to Vanderbilt -- but is completing just 53.6 percent of his passes. Thats well below Kellys 62.5 percent mark before the injury.Mississippi States goal is to make Patterson uncomfortable in the pocket. Bulldogs safety Brandon Bryant said complete concentration will be needed for the entire 60 minutes on Saturday.It is a very big game and we have to go hard all week in practice and take it day by day, Bryant said. Then on Saturday we have to impose our will on them.Mississippi State is giving up 34.3 points per game this season, which ranks last in the 14-team SEC. Ole Miss isnt much better, giving up 32.1 points per game to rank 12th.Considering Mississippi State has a productive offense led by quarterback Nick Fitzgerald, its fair to expect the Bulldogs to score some points on Saturday.So if the Bulldogs can get a few stops or turnovers, it might be enough for the win.We have to go out and execute and have fun, Mississippi State linebacker Dez Harris said. We cant worry about the scoreboard or what people think. We have to play our game and do what we have to do to win.-----More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 . ' ' '
