Running back Curtis Martin and five others were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Martin will be joined by defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, defensive end Chris Doleman, left tackle Willie Roaf, Center Dermontti Dawson and cornerback Jack Butler as members of the 2012 class.

Martin was the NFL's fourth-leading leading rusher when he retired in 2005. Martin scored 90 rushing touchdowns and rushed for 100 or more yards in 56 games with the New England Patriots and New York Jets.

Kennedy is the former No. 3 overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft. He enjoyed an 11-year career with the Seattle Seahawks. Kennedy collected 58 sacks and was elected to the Pro Bowl eight times.

Doleman is tied for third in NFL history with eight seasons of 10 or more sacks. He played the majority of his career with the Minnesota Vikings and was the 1992 Defensive Player of the Year.

Roaf was named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990's and was an All-Pro seven times in his career with the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs.

Dawson played in seven straight Pro Bowls from 1993 to 1998 and helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win five AFC Central titles and one AFC championship.

Butler retired with the second-most interceptions (52) in NFL history over nine seasons with the Steelers in the 1950's.
