Manning said he’s putting the finishing touches on his speech and “I’m right there at 7 minutes and 50 seconds as we speak.” Charles Woodson goes last, and there also will be a video tribute to former Steelers scout Bill Nunn, who was enshrined in April. 8, Pearson will lead the seven members of the Class of 2021 in delivering their enshrinement speeches. Interspersed with the 12 live speeches Saturday are video tributes for the eight members of the class elected posthumously, each of whom was enshrined in a special ceremony on April 28 in Canton. There are a dozen speeches from the Class of 2020, with Bill Cowher wrapping things up on the first night.
Drew Pearson, whose career overlapped with Carmichael’s for 11 seasons, will lead off the speeches the following night when the Class of 2021 is enshrined. 7 when the Centennial Class of 2020 is honored. Harold Carmichael will deliver the first speech on the night of Saturday, Aug. “I hear it’s been a great point of emphasis in years past, but I don’t think it’s been stressed very well,” Manning said. The Centennial Class wasn’t enshrined last year because of the pandemic, so the weekend will mark the largest number of inductees in the Hall of Fame’s history, making time limits on speeches especially important. Manning said the inductees have communicated via a group text “about everybody trying to honor that to be respectful of the person behind you and have everybody have their time.” Or anybody that’s an offensive linemen is probably tough to pull.” “I look forward to seeing them come up and lead the applause while Alan Faneca is still speaking,” Manning cracked.
