Former Minnesota quarterback Tony Dungy, who played and coached in the NFL, and ex-Ohio State offensive lineman Orlando Pace, the No. 1 pick in the 1997 NFL Draft and the inventor of the pancake block, were selected for enshrinement along with a group headlined by Brett Favre and Marvin Harrison.

Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl XLI, its second NFL championship, and compiled a 139-69 overall record in 13 seasons, split between Colts and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pace, a three-time All-Pro and member of the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team, helped the St. Louis Rams claim Super Bowl XXXIV.

Dungy and Pace will be enshrined on Saturday, Aug. 6 in Canton, Ohio.
