Gonzalez, Reed head 8-person Hall of Fame class

Tight end Tony Gonzalez and safety Ed Reed highlight the eight-man class that earned induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Gonzalez is the all-time leader in receptions and yardage among tight ends with 1,325 catches and 15,127 yards. He played for the Kansas City Chiefs (1997-2008) and Atlanta Falcons (2009-13) during a 17-year playing career.

Reed led the NFL in interceptions three times and had 64 career interceptions, while playing 11 of his 12 NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens from 2002-12. Reed was one of four defensive backs who will be inducted on Aug. 3 in Canton, Ohio. The others were cornerbacks Champ Bailey and Ty Law, and safety Johnny Robinson.

Robinson was the seniors finalist. Also selected for enshrinement were center Kevin Mawae, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and personnel executive Gil Brandt.
