HOF 2016: Brett Favre headlines 2016 Hall of Fame class (Yahoo Sports)

Brett Favre was equal parts desperado and virtuoso during his 20-year NFL career that was predicated on taking big risks in the game's biggest moments. ''Brett Favre's in the top-5 as far as the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game,'' suggested Hall of Famer John Elway, who led Denver past Favre's Packers for the first of his two Super Bowl triumphs in the late 1990s. It's what landed him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the headliner next weekend of a class that includes Ken Stabler, Dick Stanfel, Ed DeBartolo Jr., Tony Dungy, Kevin Green, Marvin Harrison and Orlando Pace.
