In case you missed it, the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony was this weekend. Chris Westry, Mike Edwards, Derrick Baity and Jon Toth represented UK as members of the All-Commonwealth team. The All-Commonwealth team is made up of current football players from colleges and universities within the state, that displayed outstanding achievements this past season.
Congrats, guys!
This year's KY Pro Hall of Fame class included former UK offensive linemen Dermontti Dawson & Warren Bryant. As most of you already know, Dawson played for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 12 years, where he was named to seven straight NFL Pro Bowls. Bryant played in the NFL for 13 years, after being selected 6th overall in the 1977 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons.
Also inducted was former UK head coach (1954-1961) Blanton Collier. The Paris, KY native went on to coach the Cleveland Browns to an NFL Championship in 1964.

Here you see Kentucky offensive lineman Jon Toth with both Dawson and Bryant. Could this be foreshadowing a future inductee of the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame? Let's certainly hope so!
Congrats to all of the inductees into this year's KY Pro HOF class!
