You guys have made this a wonderful experience. Law will join the Hall of Fame Class of 2019 at an induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio this summer.

I knew early on that I had to do things others were not willing to do in order to get where I needed to go. God bless. Thank you for all that you do, and we know that our legacy is intact because of what you do and what you bring to the table. We did it, Aliquippa. You have to believe that for yourself.To my Patriots teammates, stand up! First of all, I want to thank the Patriot fans, the best fans in the NFL, hands down.I had to believe in myself. You told me you wouldn't miss it for the world, and you told me that Myra wanted that that way.And they roll into here deep, and that's because of you.
So many people came and told me the job you did in that room by pleading your case for me won them over. You have to believe in yourself. I hope that you guys know how I feel. Both Ty Law and Ed Reed will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday, and both spent brief portions of their career in the green and white. I love you to the moon and back.My grandmother passed away when I was 12 years old. So we couldn't be homeboys then. Not football.

I don't like to admit it, but you are right most of the time.
Last time I was up on a podium like this was at the Patriots Hall of Fame. Yes, it did. Even though it was about empty. This is about we.Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being my brother for 45 years, man. He had three tackles and one assist in the game.“You're not going to win every battle…being able to accept defeat and learn from it…being able to accept adversity…How am I going to adjust on the fly to do better for myself…every game wasn't perfect. The Michigan fans packed the house every week.That quickly put things in perspective for me. Thank you for impacting my life.
