Former Chargers defensive end Fred Dean was relaxing in front of the TV in his Louisiana home Saturday afternoon when a news crawl came across the bottom of the screen that lifted him out of his easy chair.
“I felt my blood pressure rise a little bit,” Dean said. “All of the sudden I started sweating like I’d been doing something outside. It was quite a moment.”
Shortly after seeing his name on the sports ticker, Dean received a call from the Pro Football Hall of Fame that confirmed what he’d just seen. After waiting 15 years, Dean is headed to Canton. He was one of six players voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday.
