I’ve NEVER heard this man speak...yet this is one of the best HOF speeches I’ve ever heard. 👏🏽 👏🏽 new found respect for EJ
Facts.
Exactly!
Absolutely #32 💪🏽
So your into Hall Of Fame speeches, but don't watch the game?
Joaquin....just because he never heard him talk, has nothing to do with him not watching football. Learn how to comprehend dude smh
“I started with gold teeth, and ended with a gold jacket!”
-Edgerrin James #GOAT
If you know, you know. One of the real ones and a great inspiration
“I averaged 3.4 YPC the year after I left the Colts elite OLine and these suckers think I’m a Hall of Famer”
-Edgerrin James
@@martinjackson909 right! All week I’ve been asking what makes him HOF? no one gave a legitimate answer
ua-cam.com/video/HLYGxT1DJgM/v-deo.html
What a line
That Hall of Fame speech was 💯%Authentic...Straight from the heart!
Congrats #32
EXACTLY loved it
Facts
When you don't have cliff notes for a speech you know it's from the heart and its gonna be real.
I totally agree... much respect to him! Well deserved
No script
When he said, "Just do your job, and the world will be a better place" brought a tear to my eye. Great speech
One of the most candid, straight-from-the-heart, naturally delivered and wholesome NFL HOF speech ever
Edge still look like he can play.
For real I was just bout to say that. Dude still looks like a starter.
Not his insides though dude took a pounding back in the day. They ran alot more too.
@@victorhardin2186 that was back when their o line sucked too so that didn’t help
@@falcon1378 lol 😆 😂 real deal spill
He sure does!!
The U. Hats off to Edgerrin James for being in the Hall of Fame
Great speech
More to come
Immokalee baby.
This FSU fan appreciates his talents on and off the field
“I’m a lion and this is my mane.” Goosebumps.
Same. There has to be a edit out there with a lions roar after he says that. 🦁 🔥
Straight up.
Hands down one of the best hof speeches of all time.. and for this reason alone the amount of kids that will see that and end up playing football maybe even making it to the league.. he brought in new talent with that speech.. kids are gonna see that and be un afraid to be them!! He never changed I remember cryin over comments i read about edgerrin as a kid.. now the haters can’t say anything HOF for life!!! Thank you NFL thank you for letting him in of all people this means alot.. 🙏🙏🙏
Immokalee man, Immokalee.
Ain't no kids watching this ish. This would be crazy boring to any kid
@@donsolos depends on where you come from Don… have a good day dude✌️
Edge was Peyton's favorite teammate because Edge was always 100% Edge. He may not have gone to the mini camps (optional), but when he showed up, he was always 100% prepared. Edge chose to keep the grit and grind energy he brought to football at it's roots. In Immokalee and Miami.
When he was injured, he went HOME to Immokalee and trained there instead of in Indianapolis. He never went the "traditional" route. Ever. He refused to BEND who he was.
I remember when it was announced that Edge would not be going back to Indianapolis, that Peyton went down to Miami and they both just went out on Edge's boat and talked.
Edge was very clear about his and Peyton's relationship in this game. They couldn't be MORE different, but on that field, they were brothers. They respected one another and their mutual respect for the game.
Congrats to Edge!
I must say, this is one of the realist and best HOF speeches EVER!!!!!!!!
This guy was my favorite Colt ever. When he came into the league, all people saw was the dreds and gold grills. But he was so talented and his football IQ was OFF THE CHARTS! He was the perfect backfield mate for Peyton. When it was clear that the Colts were letting Edge walk, I remember Peyton gave an interview on Edge and called him..."the best teammate I ever had." Considering some of the guys Peyton has played with over the years, that's huge praise.
Peyton said Edge was the best teammate he ever had, but he named his son MARSHALL?
@@kyleklontz3214 I don't know why he named his son Marshall. You'll have to ask Peyton that. But I know what I heard Peyton say after Edge was cut after the 2005 season...I was actually surprised considering Marvin was still on the team as well as Jeff Saturday and Tarik Glenn and other really good players.
@@OlDirty5150 reading comprehensive is really important in life. I never said Peyton said Edge was better than Faulk. But after Edge got cut, Peyton called Edge the best teammate he ever had. When Faulk was traded Peyton said something about how grateful he was to him for helping him get through his rookie year.
One of mines too and he went to my collage The U.
@@OlDirty5150 you must be a Canadian. You’re too damn nice 🤣
"I'm forever immortalized, locked up in the Canton Correction Institution. Inmate No 366 in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. My career started with gold teeth and ended with this gold jacket"
😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
Greatest closing of a speech in history
@@TrumpsEarBandage couldn't Agree more
@@TrumpsEarBandage This was/is epic!!!!
THAT WAS THE MOST POWERFUL SPEECH THE HALL OF FAME HAS EVER HEARD !
CONGRATS EDGERRIN JAMES !
It was dynamic
Go back an watch Emmett Smiths speech
I remember it, I also remember Emmtt Smith making such a good move on AstroTurf® that he shredded our #1 overall draft pick's (Steve Emtman's) knee.
@@OK-gk1rp
Will do.
Yeah, Edge and Megatron brought the heat and I hope the right people actually listen to what they said and learn something.
There was no player ever that rocks gold better than Edge
Ocho would like a word
@@251zeus Ocho ain’t in the hall
@@king_supreme1102 okay? Your point?
@@251zeus meant the other guy
I was always of fan my guy edge
"It started with gold teeth and ended with this gold jacket"...CONGRADULATION'S YOUNG KING. WE HERE
AMAZING SPEECH LET’S ALL DO OUR JOBS ✊🏿
Congrats Edge long time friend of mine and solid human! You’ll now forever be remembered!
When I was a kid, I remember being mad and stunned when the Colts took Edge over Ricky Williams in the draft. Then when he started doing interviews and I watched him play, he became my favorite player. Couldn't be more proud of him doing it his way. Congrats!
From gold teeth to gold jacket!!! I love Edge I remember watching Miami vs UCLA in 1998 after a Hurricane had to reschedule the game and even the draft when people thought Ricky Williams was better than Edge. Such a down to earth man a great father and a now a great businessman and father.
One of the best RBs in the 2000s. I love his swag. His bust is one of the best. And his speech is one of the best.
What about when he went to the Cardinals and his YPC dropped?
@@martinjackson909 bro stop spam commenting and stfu
@@martinjackson909 please Stfu
ua-cam.com/video/HLYGxT1DJgM/v-deo.html
@@martinjackson909 u mean like Emmit Smith?
Best speech to his people and the perception he’s suppose to be in jail and not a success and proving them wrong baby he’s in canton and a real man recognized all his kids and there talents a brother for real.
here here
He stayed real and True didn't sell out thank you Edge !!!
Memorized his speech from jump and did it smooth … from watching James in Miami to his hoF speech .. man we getting old
Edgerrin James Damn I haven't heard that name in ages this man was a beast RB didn't know he was named it into the Hall that's what's up
Just Do Your Job!
Edgerrin is immediately one of my favorite people. Great speech. He truly set the pace for self expression while being a good person and shedding light on erroneous judgement based upon what people want you to look like. Way to overcome, love your momma, and take care of your children.
I remember be a kid wear n 28 Marshall Faulk and being sad when we traded him!! But then when we got Edge!!! I loved him
I remember him letting his play speak for him. Much like Sean Taylor
Sean Taylor would've gotten a gold jacket
Taylor should be in hof because everyone knows he just might have ended up the greatest safety ever
The Edge took it to the next level on the field and most importantly in life. He committed to blasting the stereotypes and is rightfully in the Hall of Fame. #32 rocks!
He seems like a really good person never heard him speak before that was a great speech
One of the best ways I’ve ever heard a public speech ended. So fitting for a player who epitomizes the phrase “keep it real”. Much respect, Edge
bro just do your job and the world would be a better place... so true 100 ! love this speech
“From the U to the Shoe.” As a Colts fan and a NOTRE DAME fan, that’s pretty dope.
Notre damn has nothing to do with it. He got drafted by the Indianapolis colts whose logo is a horseshoe.
U is in Miami not Notre dame
@@donsolos Notre dame is in Indiana he was just saying that he was a fan of the colts and Irish calm down
@The Thing ahhh
First HOF speech I’ve decided to watch and the bar has been set …Killed it💯💪🏾
Kobe's was better.
Dynamic speech, congrats edge!!
I’ve been listening to HOF acceptance speeches for 35 years and I must say this was one of the most creative, amusing, and inspiring ones I have ever heard….!
Wow!!! Much respect. Loved his speech. That ending, to all those that have been judged, follow your dreams.
One of the best of ALL-TIME 😤.
Averaged 3.4 YPC when he went to the Cardinals. Below average RB that made to the Hall of Fame
@@martinjackson909 get your hatin ass outta here. He went to the Cardinals when he was about to retire and still has 2 1000 yard seasons.
@@king_supreme1102 you gotta admit there's way better RBs that should be in the HOF ahead of James. JS
@@king_supreme1102 you mean 7? Man was a beast idk what this hating a$$ dude above is talking about. Edge had 7 1000 YARD SEASONS. Man was as efficient as ERIC DICKERSON.
@@danielcoronado6483 name some
He never had to talk. His play did the talking and spoke very loudly.
One of the most exciting RB's ever, Thank You Edge to were a joy to watch!
Yeah the U is in the building
That was an amazing speech
Bravo 👏 edge
Edge is one of my fav players ever. Humble, talented and a fierce teammate. Well deserved
When Edge entered the NFL, I couldn't have been more honored. His appearance brought a certain peace to myself and many others that followed the NFL, but also had a particular upbringing. All is damn well possible. Respect to Edge!!! Proud that he was drafted and played 7 seasons in my hometown.
The beast in gold teeth. IIII___IIII 305 ALL DAY! Congrats Edge you earned it man.
The buttery fly effect from this speech... 🦋Man I wish I had another 100 years on earth just to see this this moment ripple into a 🌊 connected by those that love 🏈
I'll always appreciate you and your time in AZ! STAY BLESSED 🙌
What games were you watching? He got a huge contract and averaged 3.4 YPC the year he got there. Are those Hall of Fame numbers?
@@martinjackson909 It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of YPC
@@martinjackson909 yes
Love the authenticity of this speech. Edgerrin seems like a man of character. Congrats on reaching the HOF.
If you know, You know! A man among men and a great inspiration. Congratulations !!!!
This was one of the best HOF speeches I’ve ever heard fr fr lmao
I'm telling ya
Now let's get Fred Taylor in there
Die hard Colts fan here and I agree 1000000%
Say ward!!! Edge cool, but Fred Taylor had the same numbers if not better...
Edge numbers are slightly better than Fred’s but Fred def deserves to be there
Corey Dillon too
@@bv4142 big facts. Dude stats speak for itself
Edge is my favorite running back of my era. He always gave it his all since day one. You should never judge a person until you get to know the person, Facts.... Congrats Edge Aka Da Lion💪
Being a Canes fan, I watched him play in College and followed him and all my Canes in the NFL, so good to see him in the HOF!!
I’ve worked in Everglades my whole life. I know how hard life is on the south shore of Lake Okeechobee. Where Edge grew up is one of poorest but closets communities in the nation. For him to overcome and achieve greatnesses is a tribute to his family and friends in the ‘Glades!
what a speech. I thought he was nervous the first minute or so, but it was a homerun. He was intelligent, funny, entertaining and authentic. This is one of those speeches that I will end up watching about 1000 times.
Dang, totally different than Troy’s speech, but none the less, very good. Absolutely nailed it. Great message, colorful, well done.
I have nothing but respect for Edgerrin. I was never a Colts fan (Giants fan for life) but I enjoyed watching him play. He delivered an incredible HOF speech, one of the best I’ve ever heard.
The greatest RB from the U now he's in the Canton Institution big ups bro.
Man that was a great speech. Love you. I-TOWN
What a great speech! I smiled the whole way through.
I loved Edgerton James Speech. He's TRUE TO HIMSELF AND THAT'S SPECIAL. Don't EVER try to be someone your not. Congrats to you Hover Edgerton James
Excellent speech from an excellent man! Salute to you and the U family! Well deserved
No script. From the heart. Brilliant brother. Congrats Edge
This speech is absolutely incredible. I’m making my son watch this. Now I need to go run through a wall…..
Now that was a speech! I feel honored to have grew up watching you and Manning do work every weekend. And to have been able to watch both of you get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
One Of The Best Speeches Ever!! 💪
I'm from Ft.Myers Florida and I got to see Edgerrin when he played Lee County Florida teams in high school. Just like Deion, he was a man playing amongst boys. He was such a special player. I know where he comes from and I'm so proud of him
I play for immokalee football and one day I had the chance to meet him and all he was filled with was kindness and a great attitude
his mouts filled with gold teeth so i would say ur wrong kindness and great attitude isnt the only thing hes filled with
@@Simon-pi9wb just because his mouth is filled of gold teeth doesn’t mean anything, he is a great person that did nothing wrong
@@chio_btw5278 yeah i havent said that just makin a joke
Edge is not only a Hall of Fame football player, He’s a Hall of Fame Person!! 🙏🏾👊🏽💯
damn my man killed that speech, respect
This man is a legend out here in Florida
My guy Edge ! What a work horse, congrats . Go Colts !
That was great. He’s so right. Be yourself, stop trying to impress everybody. Hard work & dedication
DO YOUR JOB! Don't worry about how a man dresses, or speaks, or what music he listens to. Everyone is different and that's what makes us human. In today's world, doing your job makes you stand out. You used to have to go above beyond to get noticed. Nowdays, with the lack of work ethic and everyone having this sense of entitlement, just doing your job makes you look like a rockstar. Well said Mr. James. Congrats on your enshrinment, you 100% deserved it brother!
When I was growing up, I heard my granddad say many times to us grandkids, "you kids judge people by their hearts, that's all that matter's". I am 70 years old, and PaPa is long gone, but I still try to live by that.
God Bless you Edgerrin James and Congrats!!! YOU EARNED IT!!!
It literally pains me that this man wasn’t on the roster for the colts championship. I think Irsay sent him a ring anyways, but he deserved doing snow angles in blue and white confetti in Miami.
there was no talent fall off between Edge and Addai
@@2eggrollz I beg to differ. One is in the HOF and the other only played 6 years. James was the first running back to lead the league as a rookie in rushing yards and his sophomore year in rushing yards.
@@2eggrollz there was a huge drop off. It took Addai and Dominic Rhodes to replace Edge.
Irsay gave him a ring. Addai credited Edge with his development as a rookie. Addai said he called Edge pretty much everyday and Edge always took his call and gave him advice.
Still salty
I'm in love with this man! Great speech and even GREATER message! Love him and all his fineness.
Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, and Edgerrin James is, will will forever be, the best three headed monster to ever play football together.
Immokalee always had real talent so proud of you EJ
Indy big 4 of Peyton Manning,EJ,Wayne and Harrison were great no doubt about it.
Don't forget Jeff Saturday
@@OK-gk1rp Yes Sir Buddy!
Dallas clark too
And won once. 🤓
Uh, Marshall Faulk??
That was a great speech, way to represent.
Best speech so far and Peyton Loved Every Minute Of It 💯💪🏿
That was the realest speech...so glad I got to watch you play when I was young..
THE U
Proud of this Black man from SwFL. Deserving. Keep being YoU.
Still haven't found a running back as good as Edge here in Indy. That O-line he gave a shout out to was the best in it's day. Loved his shout out to Bill Polian, who decided to draft Edge over Ricky Williams. Even though Edge left the year before the Colts won the SB, Irsay made sure to get Edge a SB ring for helping build that team
Not right now, but keep watching both Marlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor- we'll see what happens!!!
@@michaelpowell5266 yes those two are the best since Edgerrin James but as far as all around blocking and check-down receiving it's still hard to find a guy to replace the edge
One of the best.. always did his job and some. Congrats Edge, much RESPECT!
It's about time he's was a beast congratulations James!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏
That colts team was such a power house and filled with good character players! What a legend
Is all about the U. Edge is you a real OG spoken like a CHAMP.💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The Edge...The U... Go Canes ‼️🌀🌀🌀
Not a colts or cardinals fan, but I watched as many games as I could just to see Edge play. Always was one of my fave RBs who played the game the way it was meant to be played. Salute Edge! ✊🏾
Best speech of the ceremony!
What an amazing speech! I will always respect #EDGE
Still my all time favorite hurricane. Sean Taylor is 1a. Go Canes!! 🙌
“Inmate number 336 in the pro football hall of fame. My career started with gold teeth and ended with this gold jacket.”
Goat
Wow didn't know edge talked like this he was so quiet
That speech was beautiful and for the culture. Salute king! #congrats
He is one of the most underrated RBs in NFL history!
One of the most underrated running backs of all time. Dude was a beast.
Except for when he went to the Cardinals and looked average
Averaged 3.4 yards per carry the year he went to the Cardinals. Not even average let alone Hall of Fame
Lets go cardinals
@James Tolbert I’m not in the Hall of Fame. He had no Hall of Fame level speed, agility, physicality. He just ran through the hole in front of him
He retired at age 31, if he kept playing he would have easily had 15,000 yards rushing
One of the best speeches ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
