Sterling Sharpe hasn’t fully embraced his selection into the Hall of Fame because of an eye issue
August 1, 2025
Maybe the magnitude of the accomplishment will hit Sterling Sharpe when he walks on stage Saturday and sees his bronze bust that will be displayed permanently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The former Green Bay Packers star wide receiver will be enshrined along with cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen and tight end Antonio Gates as members of the Class of 2025. But Sharpe hasn’t been able to celebrate the honor fully because he’s been dealing with problems in his right eye. He was still recovering from eye surgery when his brother, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, informed him in front of television cameras that he was selected.
