It was great, as you’d expect
On Saturday, Minnesota Vikings’ legend Jared Allen finally got the call to immortality as he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
As you’d expect, Allen gave an outstanding speech for his induction, and you can see the whole thing below.
(Yes, I’m pretty sure you can actually watch it here and not have to go to YouTube to see it.)
Allen touches on a lot of things in his speech, including what he thought made him a Hall of Famer and the respect he has for the game of football. He also talks a great deal about his family and his faith, and in typical Allen style, mixes in a nice dose of humor as well.
It’s great to finally see Jared Allen get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Even though Allen played for four different teams in his Hall of Fame career, it’s pretty clear that he identifies as a Viking most of all.
Congratulations to Jared Allen on finally. . .after a ridiculous six tries. . .being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
