Rickey JacksonRickey Jackson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday night and became the first New Orleans Saints player to receive a bust in Canton.

Jackson thanked his presenter, Saints owner Tom Benson, for keeping the team in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and called on the NFL to avoid any labor stoppages.

Jackson made six Pro Bowls and recorded 128 career sacks. He helped turn around the dreadful New Orleans franchise in the late '80s to early '90s.

Jackson finished his career with the 49ers and won a Super Bowl ring with them in January 1995.
