00:00 I mean you you you played for a team that like with the legacy and tradition that the stewards have
00:05 And put on the group with the names that are on that wall
00:07 I almost don't believe it at all
00:09 You know, I mean because there's some of those guys and a lot of those guys are great football players ever played this game
00:14 But tumbling and I'm on it. You just thrown in the same sentence with you. You got that phone call
00:20 What was going through your mind? But do you think back to your career and some moments during that?
00:25 I was I was actually in shock
00:28 When mr. Rooney called and said I didn't know what to expect what he was calling about and then he told me that I didn't
00:33 it was almost speechless like
00:35 Thank you
00:36 And then you hang up the phone you kind of sit there for a little bit
00:39 And then it kind of settles in and then you know the days leading up to this and then driving up to camp you start
00:45 To kind of reflect a lot on all that the memories and the friendships and experiences that you've gone through
00:50 As a steward here and then share that moment with James Harrison has to be special as well. Absolutely
00:55 I mean James is probably probably one of the best football players in our family
00:59 But he's a great guy and a friend and you know well deserved to him
01:02 I have him going in there with me to both guys on the same defense and the things that we did together
01:08 It's gonna be played you figure a few more guys from those teams are gonna be joining you here in the next few years
01:13 I have no doubt
01:14 I mean you look at that
01:15 I look back at the group from the players that we had and they and the quality to the guys on those teams
01:20 I don't they might run out of room on those walls
01:22 [laughter]
01:24 (explosion)
01:27 (dramatic music)
