Hall of Fame welcomes inspirational “Field Mouse,” Sam Mills

FILE - New Orleans Saints' Sam Mills grabs a fumble during the team's NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 22, 1991, in New Orleans. Mills played Division III college football and was not drafted. That made his rise to stardom with the Saints and Carolina Panthers — and his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, this weekend — all the more remarkable.
