Arizona Cardinals: Pro Football Hall Fame class named on Saturday

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner could get a big call on Saturday

The time is almost here.  Former Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner may get his call to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

This is his third try in as many years.  He fell just short last season and most experts felt this year would be his year.  They could be right.

Warner, who retired seven years ago this past week, is amongst the favorites to get inducted into the Hall with the Class of 2017.  It will be well deserved.

The leader in the clubhouse as far as getting in seems to be former San Diego Chargers running back Ladanian Tomlinson.  He is a lock.

As for Warner, he is at the Super Bowl this week also for the NFL Network.  He is soaking in the atmosphere.

If he does get in, it will be nice to have his family right there with him. Warner is the ultimate family man which is one of the reasons he is so likeable.

Warner threw for 32,344-yards in his career.  He had 208 touchdown passes and 108 interceptions.  He played for 12 NFL seasons.

The debate whether he was better with the Cardinals or Rams will live on forever.  It really is all a matter of opinion.

Warner won more in St. Louis and also played one more season with them.  He played six seasons with the Rams.  He spent five seasons with the Cardinals and threw in one season as a backup to Eli Manning his rookie season with the New York Giants in 2004.

The announcement of the Class of 2017 will come Saturday night.  Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.
