The Pro Football Hall of Fame brings football immortality to four deserving men when it enshrines the Class of 2025 on August 2. Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe will don their gold jackets for the first time and unveil bronze busts for the world to see.

Shannon Sharpe donned his gold jacket emblazoned with the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo at his Atlanta home last winter and awaited his brother's arrival. Sterling ambled down the stairs and into the basement looking perplexed.

Sterling Sharpe is part of Pro Football Hall of Fame's Seniors Class, which selects one to three players per year whose career ended in 1999 or earlier. A neck injury ended Sharpe's NFL career in 1994, and he is just one of 13 players to go into the Hall of Fame after playing no more than eight seasons.
