2015 Hall of Fame induction: Sydney Seau shines, Jerome Bettis closes
Jerome Bettis, Junior Seau, Charles Haley, Tim Brown, Will Shields, Bill Polian, Ron Wolf, Mick Tingelhoff were all enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Former Packers executive Ron Wolf got things started at the 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday night and then Charles Haley followed with quite possibly the most underrated speech in Hall of Fame history.
Midway through Haley's speech, the former Cowboys and 49ers star defensive end recounted the first time he met Jerry Jones and during his story, he gave us what might be the best Jerry Jones impression ever. Or you can just watch this:
Then Sydney Seau, daughter of the late Junior Seau, spoke poignantly and passionately about her father, Junior Seau. As John Breech reminds us, Seau was a fierce leader who leaves complicated legacy.
Great job by Sydney Seau and solid job by the NFL for giving her the forum to say what she wanted to say. pic.twitter.com/jxQ4Oaoj26

Jerome Bettis, who redefined big, quick running backs during his career with the Rams and Steelers, closed the proceedings in front of some 20,000 Steelers fans who briefly turned Canton, Ohio, into Steelers Country.

In addition to Wolf, Haley, Seau and Bettis, Tim Brown, Will Shields, Bill Polian and Mick Tingelhoff also joined the NFL's most exclusive fraternity.
The eight received their bronze bust sculptures as the newest members of Pro Football's Hall of Fame.
Ron Wolf should've closed his speech with another "Way to go with that Brady thing." http://t.co/0wEuCKUw6s pic.twitter.com/xu4IHPfeSi
