Posted February 6th, 2010

Rickey Jackson is headed to Canton.
The former Saints star linebacker earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday. He will join NFL legends Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, who were also voted in. Jackson and Rice were teammates on the San Francisco 49ers, when the team won the Super Bowl after the 1994 season.
Jackson was a six-time Pro Bowl selection in 15 seasons. He finished with 128 sacks and helped lead the Saints to their first divisional title.
