Hall of Fame presenters include sons, coaches
Saturday, July 8, 2006
CANTON - The people presenting this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame class are as varied as the men being honored.
Two coaches, two sons, an owner and an agent will introduce the Class of 2006 on Aug. 5 inside Fawcett Stadium.
Troy Aikman selected longtime NFL coach Norv Turner, who was Aikman’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for three seasons in Dallas.
Fellow Cowboy Rayfield Wright asked former Fort Valley State College Coach L.J. “Stan” Lomax to serve as his presenter.
Former Giants linebacker Harry Carson and the late Reggie White will be presented by their sons, Donald Carson and Jeremy White. Reggie White, a defensive end with the Eagles, Packers and Panthers who died in 2004, will be represented by his widow, Sara.
Raiders owner Al Davis will make his ninth trip to the podium as a presenter, this time for former head coach John Madden, while quarterback Warren Moon turned to longtime friend and agent Leigh Steinberg.
The enshrinement ceremony begins at 1 p.m. More than 70 previously enshrined Hall of Fame members already have committed to return this year.
