The 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class is highlighted by NFL's all-time leading receiver, Jerry Rice, and the all-time leading rusher, Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith, but there was also a local flavor with Vikings defensive lineman John Randle's selection. Randle started his college career with the Trinity Valley C.C. Cardinals before heading to Texas A&I University.
