      Abel Mehari listen man i watched this dude play in the early 90's and, coming from a Niners fan, I would say he's 1a in my book as far as the most dominant receiver of that time. Unfortunately, injuries derail many promising careers, and 7 years just isn't enough time to log to be considered a Hall of Famer. Again, not disagreeing with the unstoppable part, cause this dude was straight fire.

RIGHT THERE. He could run every pattern, and he was tough over the middle, and had speed to get deep. Sterling Sharpe was a bad boy...

    That was such a thoughtful, honest speech. He was respectful, grateful and humble in his acknowledgements. I always thought he was a great athlete, but this speech offers insight into him being a great person. It's not easy to admit ones flaws, but he did it unapologetically. Glad to have the opportunity to see such a moving experience. May God continue to bless and keep him.❤

    Sterling Sharpe in a 7 year career w/ the Pack and less than 3 years with Favre:
    -league leader in receptions 3 times (led the league in his 2nd year!)
    -league leader in TD receptions twice
    -5 out of 7 years over 1,000 yards (nearly 6)
    -All time team leader in TD receptions in single season (18)
    -All time team leader in season receptions (112), owns 2nd highest total (108)
    -2nd all time in Packers history in TD receptions (65) (Don Hutson-92 in 11 years)
    -Only year didn't lead the team in receptions was rookie year
    -Never missed a game (tough SOB if you knew his injury reports)
    lot of other stuff not mentioned..

      You make a legit case for Sterling Sharpe being in the HOF. Go back and look at his numbers. If it wasn't for a neck injury ending his career, Sterling would have been top five receivers of all time.

You are class personified, and I just want to say how proud your grandma and family are of you. There are also legions of NFL fans such as myself at 56 years of age that think the world of one of the very best Tight Ends to ever play the game. You did it all right my friend. Congratulations & best of success in your future endeavors .William ~
