CANTON, Ohio — What a defensive backfield in gold jackets: Ed Reed, Ty Law and Champ Bailey.
All three entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
“Fitting to be in here with Mr. Johnny Robinson and Champ and Ty,” Reed said. “My DBs know it was always about us.”
Bailey, Reed and Law’s voices frequently broke during their speeches.
Law spoke of his family’s support, and his hometown, Aliquippa, Penn., which also produced his uncle Tony Dorsett and Mike Ditka — both Hall of Famers.
“I know there ain’t no crying in football,” Law joked.
