Jim Thorpe, Ernie Nevers, Johnny Unitas, O.J. Simpson, Walter Payton-these are just a few of the people honored here and who have left a part of themselves in the hall. One of the displays is the helmet of the New York Giants' Sam Huff. His battered, dented helmet leaves no doubt as to how the show got its name. Another favorite is the world's tallest trophy at 22 feet 10 inches high, which is awarded in the name of the player who has the consecutive game record for catching at least one pass. In case you're wondering, Steve Largent of the Seattle Seahawks holds the honor.
