It’s a symbol of respect that my fellow peers, coaches and fans have for me – a mutual admiration that I most certainly have for them.”

“The NFL will forever be a part of my life and this unbelievable honor will ensure my place in the history of this American-favorite sport.  The induction will inspire me to continue in countless efforts to become one of the very best in the broadcasting field.”

The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s mission is to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to professional football; to preserve professional football’s historic documents and artifacts; to educate the public regarding the origin, development and growth of professional football as an important part of American culture; and to promote the positive values of the sport.

Faulk, along with his fellow Class of 2011 inductees will officially be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during a ceremony held in Canton’s Fawcett Stadium on Saturday, August 6, 2011. The Class of 2011 Enshrinement is one of several events held to honor the inductees over a 10-day Hall of Fame at NFL Experience celebration.

Faulk and Sanders returned to the NFL Network booth in 2007, providing color analysis for Bengals vs. 49ers and Steelers vs. Rams, and again in 2008 for Ravens vs. Cowboys.

Faulk is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and received numerous awards including NFL MVP (2000), Offensive Player of Year (1999-2001), NFL Rookie of the Year (1994), and Pro Bowl MVP (1995).

Faulk played in two Super Bowls with the St. Louis Rams. The Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV defeating the Tennessee Titans 23-16 and were defeated by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI, 20-17.

In 1994, Faulk was the second overall selection in the NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He rushed for 1,000 yards in four of his five seasons with the Colts and scored 51 touchdowns.

Faulk was traded to the St. Louis Rams on Draft Day 1999. That season, he set an NFL record by gaining 2,429 total yards from scrimmage (since broken) and led the Rams to the franchise’s only Super Bowl victory.  In winning league MVP honors a year later, he set an then all-time NFL record with 26 touchdowns.

Faulk is the first player in NFL history to record over 2,000 yards from scrimmage in four-consecutive seasons. He also holds Rams records for career (85) and rushing (58) touchdowns and ranks near the top of numerous NFL statistical categories including all-purpose yards, touchdowns and receptions by a running back.

Jay Leno will grace the Sunday festivities and will award the car or motorcycle entrant of his choice with the one and only ‘Jay Leno Big Dog Garage Award’ on Sunday, February 27, 2011.

As with each year’s headlining performer, Jay Leno will be making a special appearance Saturday, February 26, 2011 during the black-tie optional gala dinner hosted at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. Leno will deliver a live comedic performance for gala guests and those guests who purchase a $10,000 premiere table will have an opportunity to personally meet and have a professional photo taken with Leno, and Legends of Indy Award winners.  Leno was the first comedian to take the stage at the Concours’ inaugural event and is celebrating the event’s five year anniversary by gracing the stage yet again – delivering an amazing performance for a night to remember. Unique to Leno’s gala appearance will be his acceptance of the Lee Iacocca Award, which will be presented to Leno because of his dedication to the classic car hobby through vehicle preservation, club participation, and because he has unselfishly assisted and encouraged others in perpetuating an “American Automotive Tradition.” Additionally, gala guests will be treated to an unforgettable live auction, where Leno will be auctioning off special packages to be his VIP guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and also allow them to tour Leno’s private collection ‘Jay Leno’s Big Dog Garage,’ in Southern California.

As if Leno taking the stage in honor of the fifth year anniversary of the Boca Raton Concours d’ Elegance wasn’t enough to rev guests’ engines, America’s No. 1 Car and Motorcycle guy himself will be attending the Sunday Concours as well to share in the auto-excitement. Now Sunday guests will have the chance to rub elbows with the stars! Car and motorcycle fanatics from around the world will get to experience an automotive showcase featuring cars and motorcycles from a wide range of time periods and now, they’ll experience it in the presence of Jay Leno. Once the show kicks off, guests are invited to walk

through a series of amazing vendor tents including the 2011 Boca Raton Concours d’ Elegance tent. An expert panel of judges will select the finest cars based on a preset criterion to include period, presentation and authenticity. And Leno will personally review all of the cars and motorcycles on the show field, ultimately choosing one as the winner of the ‘Jay Leno Big Dog Garage Award.’ While wandering the show field, guests will have the chance to peruse the entries along side of Leno and maybe even grab a photo with him during a couple of impromptu photo-opps. The red carpet experience doesn’t stop there, as some of the Legends of Indy Award winners will also be in attendance. Al Unser, Sr., Bobby Unser and Al Unser, Jr. will not only be mingling with guests during the Sunday festivities but all be walking the show field to assist in judging the vintage Indy Cars on display.

The award ceremony will commence at 3:00pm highlighting each winner as they drive to the judge’s booth to receive their trophy. A variety of manufacturers will be exhibited, including vintage, antique and exotic classes. Guests can also enjoy a special tribute to the Indianapolis 500 featuring a display of Indy cars and impressive memorabilia, and have the chance to meet a few of the Indy Legends in person.
