Terrell Owens

Despite the ex-49ers receiver’s decision to not attend Saturday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, Owens will be “honored” by the Hall for his NFL career. Hall President David Baker said the Hall’s mission statement begins with the goal “to honor the heroes of the game.” So Owens, who instead will be making an appearance at his alma mater, the University of Chattanooga, will be part of the 2018 class exhibit that includes a glass locker for each new member; their pictures on the light standards of the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium; a role in opening videos shown within the stadium; and mention in any reference to the class.
