Players scheduled to appear include 1984 Pro Football Hall of Famer Charley Taylor, 1982 NFL MVP Mark Moseley, three-time pro bowlers Pat Fischer, Roy Jefferson and Mike Nelms, Ron "The Dancing Bear" McDole, two-time Super Bowl champions Ravin Caldwell and Darryl Grant, two-time All-Pro defensive end Dexter Manley, punter Mike Bragg and offensive lineman Ron Saul.
