Tickets for former Seahawks safety Kenny Easley's Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony in Canton, Ohio went on sale today, March 31, and you can grab yours over at ProFootballHOF.com.
Easley, who played all seven of his NFL seasons in Seattle (1981-87), achieved professional football's highest honor in early February the night before Super Bowl LI to become just the fourth player in the Hall of Fame who spent his entire career with the Seahawks, joining fellow Ring of Honor members Steve Largent, Cortez Kennedy, and Walter Jones.
"I'm enormously grateful for this opportunity,"Â Easley, a senior finalist for the Class of 2017, said the night he was elected. "To be reconsidered after 20 years, I'm glad it happened now, because I feel that if it had happened in 1997, I wouldn't be as grateful as I am right now at age 58 for this to happen. So that means a great deal that it happened to me now."
On August 5, Easley and six other members of the Hall of Fame's 2017 class, including running back LaDainian Tomlinson, running back Terrell Davis, quarterback Kurt Warner, kicker Morten Andersen, defensive end Jason Taylor, and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, will have their bronze busts unveiled and they take their place among the NFL's greatest.
Enshrinement weekend in Canton will include speeches from each 2017 inductee, an expected 120-plus returning Hall of Famers to welcome the newest group, as well as the 2017 Hall of Fame game between the Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.Â
