Now, 31 years after Sterling's abrupt retirement in 1994 following a seven-year career full of records and accolades, as the Sharpes became the first pair of brothers enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Sterling fittingly focused on his younger sibling.

Maybe the magnitude of the accomplishment will hit Sterling Sharpe when he walks on stage Saturday and sees his bronze bust that will be displayed permanently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Sharpe joins his brother, Shannon, in immortality, as they have become the only set of brothers to be inducted into the Hall of Fame together. Shannon famously stumped for his brother during his Hall of Fame speech in 2011, and Sterling returned the favor during the weekend.
