LaDainian Tomlinson and Kurt Warner Make the Hall of Fame With 5 Others
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSFEB. 4, 2017

HOUSTON — The running backs were known simply by their initials: L. T. and T. D. The quarterback served as ringmaster for the Greatest Show on Turf.

All unstoppable in their own way, LaDainian Tomlinson, Terrell Davis and Kurt Warner were voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Joining them were the sack master Jason Taylor — in on his first ballot, just like Tomlinson — and Morten Andersen, the N.F.L.’s leading scorer, who became the second pure place-kicker to make the Hall, after Jan Stenerud.

Seattle Seahawks safety Kenny Easley made it as a senior nominee, while the owner Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys was chosen in the contributor category. Among the candidates who did not get in were wide receiver Terrell Owens, who ranks second in career receiving yards and third in touchdown catches, and the former commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
