Never understood why he wasn't in already. It used to just piss me off every year. I couldn't take it seriously if someone like him was left off the list.

Apparently the HoF coordinates with the universities as to which former players to induct in a given year and Bama worked to get in some lesser known greats from earlier years before pushing for DT which everyone knew was a lock. At any rate, thrilled my childhood favorite will be inducted and add 1 more accolade to his impressive resume.

It's a shame he couldn't be at his own induction, but it's about fricking time it happens.

Having a hard time finding it now, but a few months ago a former NFF employee tweeted that the NFF coordinates with colleges as to which nominees from that school to push in a given year

That's a solid list, but Derrick was still way overdue to get in. His life ended so tragically, really sad.

This.
Still a good moment though.
Hell of a player.

Greatest Alabama player that these old yellow eyes have ever seen. What a great talent and man he was.

Seriously. Finally. DT
