The 2010 NFL Hall of Fame class is one of the greatest group of players to ever be inducted. The seven member class includes Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, John Randle, Dick LeBeau, Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm and Floyd Little. Emmitt Smith, the dynamic running back, spent the better part of his career scoring touchdowns for the Dallas Cowboys. In 14 seasons he gained 18,355 yards and scored 164 touchdowns. Smith had 11 seasons that he accumulated over 1,000 yards and 78 games where he topped the 100 yard mark.
Emmitt Smith was the Dallas Cowboys main threat during their reign over the NFL in the 1990′s. As a part of the Triplets, with Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. Aikman and Irvin, already in the NFL Hall of Fame, were recognized by Smith. He also had Daryl Johnston stand up and let everyone know much he appreciated him. “Most people only dream,” Smith said. “I not only had my childhood dream, I did everything I could to fulfill it. “You know what, I am now the all-time leading rusher. Wow. What an honor.”
