FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The California Assembly has introduced a new resolution, HR 13, which urges the National Football League (NFL) to induct Tom Flores into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The resolution was made on Monday at the State Capitol.

"While he has been an exemplary role model for so many Latinos, it is his hard work, his determination that ultimately will be his legacy," said Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno).

The Hall of Fame voting has already taken place. The results of the Class of 2021 will be revealed during the NFL Honors this Saturday.

Flores is a Sanger native who changed the face of the NFL as one of the only people to ever win a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach and coach. He also has broken barriers as the first minority coach to win a Super Bowl.
