Strahan was named to Canton’s Class of 2014 during the NFL Honors awards show at Radio City Music Hall, making it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his second year of eligibility. He was joined by Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks, Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Walter Jones, Buffalo Bills receiver Andre Reed and Cardinals cornerback Aeneas Williams in the modern-day class.
