Eagles legend Brian Dawkins he "couldn't do it by himself" as he is inducted into the 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Moss, who played primarily for the Minnesota Vikings and was a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, centered his speech on faith and family, and on his pride from being raised in Rand, W.Va.

"Bill George, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary ... and now, I can barely say it, me", Urlacher said. Green passed away July 22, 2016. From beginning to end, the crowd was hanging on every word that came out of T.O.'s mouth during a mostly heartfelt speech. "From the bottom of my heart, I know a lot of people out there and struggling".

"The other part of me being here is because of that woman, because of Connie, because of you, because of your urging me to see a psychologist to talk about my problems and be more open with you about my problems so we could talk things out", he said.

"He's always going to do it his way and what's beneficial to him and his family", Taylor said.

Moss went for over 1,000 yards in his first season with the Raiders, making it to the 1,000 mark on the final day of the season. "This entire speech you thought was about me, this was for you", Owens said. "For someone as competitive as I am, that victory means everything to me".

Moss had made special mention of both during his speech.

The company's chief executive Kurt Waldmeier told the AFP news agency the plane had undergone a maintenance inspection in July. Officials can essentially rule out a collision with another aircraft or an obstacle such as a wire, Knecht said.

"I have a little work to do here, but I'll be home as soon as I'm done, so you all can lay eyes on this gold jacket because it is ours", Moss added.

Moss set numerous individual records during his career, including catching a rookie-record 17 touchdowns in 1998, a mark that still stands today. When he finally hooked up with an elite quarterback, he caught a record 23 TD passes from Tom Brady in New England's ideal 2007 regular season.

Toward the end of his speech, Moss recognized all of the people that he saw on a daily basis throughout his 14-year National Football League career.

Dawkins chose Troy Vincent, his friend and longtime teammate, to present him for his enshrinement. And upon arrival here in town, you quickly realize all arrows and signs point to the mecca of professional football, especially for anyone who's ever played or worked around the game.

"This is such a huge honor for me".

Also a senior committee nominee, Brazile was drafted sixth overall out of Jackson State, two picks behind his teammate.
