NJ Hall of Fame inductees: Tiki Barber, 'Sopranos' creator David Chase, Patti Scialfa

What do you get when you mix an all-time Giants running back, a member of the E Street Band and the creator of one of the best TV shows of all time? You get the headliners for the 2023 New Jersey Hall of Fame class.

Tiki Barber, the Giants franchise leader in career rushing yards; Patti Scialfa of the E Street Band; and David Chase, who created "The Sopranos," will be inducted in the New Jersey Hall of Fame this fall.

"The New Jersey greats included in this year's Hall of Fame inductee list have made great contributions to our state's history," said Gov. Phil Murphy. "From sports legends to entertainment stars, business leaders to public servants and scholars, New Jersey has been graced by the likes of many influential people that have shined a light on what our state has to offer. This year's class is among the best of them."

Scialfa will be the fourth member of the band to be inducted. Her husband Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt and Max Weinberg are already in.

Chase won five Emmys for "The Sopranos," and also produced and wrote for shows like "The Rockford Files," "I'll Fly Away" and "Northern Exposure." He also produced "The Many Saints of Newark, a "Sopranos" prequel.

Since his retirement, Barber, who helped the Giants make the Super Bowl in 2001, has served as a correspondent on NBC's "The Today Show" and "Football Night in America"/"Sunday Night Football."
