On Aug. 3, 2013, seven of football’s greatest individuals were immortalized in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This group brought the Hall of Fame’s total to 280, and at the time was one of the most decorated classes. This class also marked the 50th anniversary of the Hall of Fame. 

The Class of 2013 Enshrinement included guard/tackle LARRY ALLEN, wide receiver CRIS CARTER, defensive tackle CURLEY CULP, tackle JONATHAN OGDEN, coach BILL PARCELLS, linebacker DAVE ROBINSON and defensive tackle WARREN SAPP.
