So few ever make it to the NFL and even fewer have success. Those who have the gold jackets represent the greatest that ever played , coached or broadcast ,welcome to Canton.
Inspiring to see how humbled these supreme athletes are to be recognized on this level. All of the blood, sweat, tears and the lifetime of suffering pain as a result seem worthwhile when you get props on this level. Legends
If you’re over 60 (I’m 66) you remember the greatness and the humility of Chuck Howley. I wasn’t a fan of his team, but there was no denying his greatness. I’m so glad he was alive to witness this LONG overdue honor.
Jared Allen was only snubbed bc it was black history month and the head of the department of equilty and inclusion said it would be a shame to give these awards to white players even if more deserving. Same reason Myles garret “won” defensive mvp over tj watt who had 5 more sacks. Same reason Dwight freebie got in over Allen. Freebie had a dozen less sacks in more seasons and even though he had a ring he literally got 3 sacks that year. This is pathetic!
My favorite part of this was Joe. Because everyone obviously cared, it was emotional for everyone. But if anyone in that class was a shoe-in, unanimous first ballot it was Joe.
And he knew it was coming lol. The utter lack of surprise.
As a long time San Diegan….i remember Don Coryell and the Bolts back in the day. I remember when the press announced this….Glad to see the video. Glad Mr Fouts was able to tell his family.
Props to Jerry Jones for having the respect for D Ware to stop his welcome speech and to step back to let Ware soak this moment in when he said “hold on”. Some people would continue to hug him or talk but he stepped back and gave ware the space and let him soak this moment in. Really shows the respect he gives to players that busted 🍑 for him
The most awesome things about the inside of the NFL is the draft and the hall of Fame knock and speeches … It's the only times where you really see the pride and joy from the families and people that have been there throughout their journey.

I don't know why I continue to watch these knowing I will get teary eyed every time lol
Can't wait to c this year's inductees
I feel like David Baker should do “The Knock” for everyone
Loved watching Barber in the league as a kid. Well deserved
Dan Fouts…."last call of the hall of fame 2023 inductees, cant hold anything back."
The best of that class of great Hall of Famers was Revis. He shut everyone down including Randy Moss. Just an incredible player.

First guy looks like he could still play. Retired NFL guys are huge.
Revis was a phenomenal CB and we never see anything like that again Man Coverage beast
MAN WHOSE CUTTING ONIONS!!!
Man to Man!!!
Joe Thomas was a beast. He didnt get the wins but he should have left after that first contract.
Zach was a ASS KICKER
Nowyall need to do right to mike alstott and give him that coat.
All of these were awesome, but the Zach Thomas one broke me. Oh, and he called Jimmy Johnson 'Coach'.
I thought Joe Thomas's face was going to split open from that smile.
This was a good class. I’m more happy for Zach Thomas though.
Everyone has such a nice door
Demarcus Ware was a complete dawg that was awesome

3:18 local WVU legend
Where’s mike Alstott ballot
Derrick Brooks' full belly laugh as soon as Ronde opens the door sends me.
Ronde and Zach to not already be HOFers is pure disrespect.

Ronde Barber came out high asf 😂😂😂😂😂
Dan Coryell was an offensive genius.
42 million reasons T.O. isn't in
As a dolphins fan i wanna say zach thomas deserves this wholeheartedly. Growing up the guy was a mf savage out on the field.
Did his puppy just die?
So happy for Ronde he deserved it so much
“Teammates forever!”, “You can’t get rid of me.” just warms my heart, man. Good for them, bro.
