Gates was one of the biggest tight ends of his era and a springboard to do what the position is today. His 116 Touchdowns are the most ever at a tight end, while his 955 receptions and 11,841 receiving yards are the fourth most in the position. He spent his entire 16-year-old career with chargers and made eight consecutive pro bowls and will go to Canton after just missing out last year.
Sharpe played only seven seasons in the NFL, but he definitely got the most out of it. In his career, hero with Green Bay Packers, he was named five Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro three times. Three times he led the NFL in receptions, and twice he led in touchdowns, including his last season when he got 18. He recorded five seasons of over 1,100 yards – he put 595 catches for 8,134 yards and 65 touchdowns.
