Who in their right mind would think that Emmitt Smith, the all-time leading rusher in attempts (4,409), yards (18,355), and touchdowns (164), is not a Hall of Famer?

Emmitt Smith is the last of the 'Triplets' to be inducted after Troy Aikman was inducted in 2006 and Michael Irvin received his bust in 2007.
Emmitt cried after his name was announced and embraced the previously mentioned Michael Irvin.
With Emmitt Smith in the Hall of Fame, the Cowboys now have 10 players who spent a significantly large portion of their career as a Cowboys.
Granted, that number should be much, much higher, the fans of Dallas can rejoice another member being inducted into Canton.

Other candidates on the list included big names like: Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Roger Craig, John Randle, Terrell Davis, and Shannon Sharpe.
