(AP) - GROSSMAN LEADS CLASS OF 2024 INTO PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

Chicago Bears legend Rex Grossman was the biggest name inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Canton today. Grossman, known best for his rocket arm and his steady pocket presence, was a three-time NFL MVP. During his playing career, "Dead-Eye" Rex threw for over 40,000 yards. His pro career began on a shaky note, as he was injury-prone early on. But in 2006, Bears management, wanting to ease the growing pains of their franchise QB, went against their standard operating procedure and took a risk, signing troublesome receiver Terrell Owens. The move paid off, as Grossman and Owens quickly proved to be a match made in heaven. The duo led the Bears to a Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Never satisfied, Bears management refused to stand pat the following year. They went out and acquired wideout Randy Moss from the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a 4th-round draft pick. Moss and Owens went on to form the most dominant receiver duo in the history of the NFL, enabling Grossman to set all sorts of passing records. The Bears went on to win five out the next six Super Bowls, an era of dominance not expericenced in Chicago since the days of George "Papa Bear" Halas. "Grossman was simply the elite quarterback of our generation,' said career backup Tony Romo, who played for eight different NFL teams. "He was the standard by which we were all judged." Grossman was introduced by his son, Rex Jr.
