James Arthur Monk Jr., youth leadership director at the South Orlando (Fla.) YMCA, will introduce his father, former Redskins wide receiver Art Monk, in the Canton, Ohio, ceremony. Jared Green, a redshirt freshman wide receiver at the University of Virginia, will introduce his father, former Redskins cornerback Darrell Green.
Former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Emmitt Thomas, also a former Redskins assistant, will be introduced by his son, Derek, an assistant basketball coach at the University of Detroit.
Fred Dean, longtime San Francisco 49ers defensive end, will be presented by Eddie DeBartolo Jr., former owner of the 49ers. Andre Tippett, former New England Patriots linebacker, will be introduced by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Gary Zimmerman, former Denver Broncos offensive lineman, will be presented by Broncos owner Pat Bowlen.
