NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Rickey Jackson's fearsome pass rush rarely came from the blind side.

Quarterbacks usually saw the "City Champ" coming, and many still couldn't escape his grasp.

Election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame proved somewhat more elusive for the former Saints left outside linebacker, who was the cornerstone of New Orleans' famed "Dome Patrol" of the late 1980s and early 90s.

On Saturday, 15 years after his retirement, Jackson will at last join contemporaries like Lawrence Taylor and Andre Tippett, who have already been immortalized in Canton, Ohio.
