CANTON, Ohio — The most iconic images of Terrell Davis’ seven-year career have been reenacted many times over in the 15 years since he retired from the NFL.
His Mile High Salute, a post-touchdown celebration he made famous in Denver, is as much a part of Davis as The Migraine Game, the two Super Bowl titles, the Super Bowl MVP, the NFL MVP aware, the 2,008-rushing-yard season, the 1995 American Bowl hit on kickoff coverage, and the 1999 attempted tackle on an interception that ended it all.
Friday afternoon, before receiving his gold jacket and being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis explained his signature salute.
