After six years of eligibility and four years as a finalist, Isaac Bruce will finally be enshrined in Canton. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, going in as part of the Class of 2020.
Bruce played 16 years in the NFL, 14 of which came with the Rams. In his career, he caught 1,042 passes for 15,208 yards and 91 touchdowns, ranking 13th all-time in receptions and fifth in receiving yards.
His shining moment in the NFL came in Super Bowl XXXIV when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Kurt Warner, going 73 yards to give the Rams a seven-point lead over the Titans. The defense would hold strong with Mike Jones making a tackle at the 1-yard line as time expired.
Bruce only made the Pro Bowl four times, but he topped 1,000 yards receiving in eight seasons and led the NFL with 1,338 yards in 1996. His lack of a first-team All-Pro selection hut his Hall of Fame resume, working against him in the eyes of voters.
