Class of 1990
1967-1980 Miami Dolphins
He was the poised leader of the Dolphins' classic ball-control offense and led Miami to three AFC titles and wins in Super Bowls VII and VIII. Hell make the cut with 80% approval on an up-and-down vote. After playing backup to Craig Morton for two years, he promptly lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl title in 1971, his first season as a starter. That is something thats only happened twice since 2000, in 2018 and 2021. Representing the senior category, or players at least 25 years out of retirement, are Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko and Ken Riley. After spending the middle of his career with the Giants, Tarkenton returned to Minnesota in 1972, where he led the Vikings to three Super Bowls appearances over a four-year span. One player (Kurt Warner) and one owner (Pat Bowlen) made significant contributions in the Arena Football League; Warner and Art McNally are also the only NFL Europe/World League alumni in the Hall. Key stats:3-time NFL champion; 2-time NFL leader in passing yards; led Steelers to four of franchise's first six winning seasons; at time of retirement, Layne owned NFL career records for completions, touchdowns, passing yards and interceptions. 3: The greatest quarterback during the NFL's first 50 seasons. He holds the unbreakable record of throwing a touchdown in 47 straight games. As of 2022, four players have contributed to AFL I, one to AFL II, one to AFL III, three to the American Association, three to the Arena Football League, one to the Indoor Football League, eleven to the Canadian Football League, four to the World Football League, seven to the United States Football League, two to the Continental Football League, two for NFL Europe, one for the 1960s United Football League, one for Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit, and eleven played for independent teams (several of which played in the NFL at some point). The list is complete through the Class of 2022. He is still ranked as the top rated passer of all-time with a 96.8 career rating. Earl T. Conway Jr. '86, who played football professionally after his collegiate career had drawn to a close, and Shinall T. Conway '01, who had a significant role on MC's 1989 Division II national championship team, were inducted into the Mississippi College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005 and 2012, respectively. In between, he became the NFL's most prolific quarterback during the 1960s as far as passing yards and passing touchdowns are concerned. Hell make the cut with 80% approval on an up-and-down vote. Calvin Johnson, wide receiver for the Lions. He, along with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, led the Cowboys to Super Bowl titles in 1992, 1993 and 1995. There are 36 quarterbacks enshrined in Canton, including a halfback combo and dual kicker-quarterback threat. He also tied George Blanda for most touchdowns in one season, with 36 in 1963. Current players are obviously not eligible so Favre, Manning, Warner, Brady and Brees will have to wait their turn and make room for the older generation. Brady went 6-for-9 in the Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, before taking his talents to Tampa Bay and delivering a Super Bowl in his first year with the Buccaneers. In his short time with the Rams, he became one of only 15 players to post an 80-plus passer rating for a season. The hall is not officially affiliated with the National Football League (NFL), although, as of 2022, all but one enshrinee participated in the NFL for at least a portion of his career; the single exception being Billy Shaw.
