A Legacy Complete: A look at Sterling Sharpe’s journey to the Pro Football Hall of Fame

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - This weekend, Sterling Sharpe will become the first-ever South Carolina Gamecock to have his career enshrined at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Sharpe was a record-setting receiver with the Gamecocks in the late 1980s before being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1988. He went on to play seven seasons with the Packers before being forced to retire in 1994 due to a neck injury.

WIS recently sat down with Sharpe to talk about his long journey to Canton, as well as his Gamecock teammate and friend, Harold Green, all about the former’s induction.
