- Watch as 100 or so Pro Football Hall of Famers gathered for a rare group photo in Canton
CANTON ‒ A section of George Halas Drive NW turned into pro football's version of the red carpet on the morning of Aug. 1.
A roster of about 100 hundred Hall of Fame members were welcomed and cheered on by a throng of fans, as the former players walked or rode south, toward the steps of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The third annual Pro Football Hall of Famer Walk & Photo Op, which most recently was held downtown, was open to fans for free.
More than 1,000 of them lined the west side of the road, shouting the names of their favorite players and snapping hundreds of photos of the stars on their cell phones.
The mini-parade stepped off shortly after 11 a.m. Youth musicians and performers from the EN-RICH-MENT program led the way.
After all had reached their destination about 10 minutes later, the hall of famers were assembled five rows deep on the Hall's steps, facing nearby Interstate 77.
Then came the official one-of-a-kind group photos for posterity.
