Manning was the first, and from Saturday night the only fullback to lead their team to two Super Bowls in different teams. He ended his career with two rings, but the statistical greatness was deep in the time of his retirement.
He was the number one of the Indianapolis Colts in 1998 and played with them for 13 years before the franchise decided to continue after its neck fusion surgery. He played four more seasons with the Denver Broncos before calling it a career. He finished his career with 539 passes, 71,940 passes, five MVPs, seven All-Pro picks and 14 Pro Bowls.

Woodson was the first.

Pearson, the original number 88 of the Dallas Cowboys, finally got his call from Hall of Fame President David Baker. The wide receiver had to wait a while, but will eventually be captured in Canton this year.
Pearson played 11 seasons with the Cowboys and won one Super Bowl with the team. He was also a three-time Pro bowler and three times. The New Jersey native ended his career with 489 receptions for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdowns.
