The career of Sterling Sharpe was not long, lasting only seven years as he was forced out of the game due to a severe neck injury. However in those seven campaigns, Sharpe would lead the league in Receptions three times and tallied over 8,000 Yards. Sharpe, who was also a three-time First Team All-Pro, would accomplish the rare Wide Receiver “Triple Crown” when in 1992 he led the NFL in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns.
The Packers elected Sharpe into their Hall of Fame in 2002.
