The Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony saw the NFL honor some of the most distinguished members of the league. The annual event has a significant role among enthusiasts to see their heroes achieve the elite level. This year’s function saw Rich Eisen taking up the stage. However, the legendary broadcaster took a sly jab at the NCAA’s Ohio State Buckeyes. 

Notably, this year’s HOF enshrinement ceremony will see eight inductees getting the honors.

In fact, Richard Seymour headlines this year’s class alongside five players, one coach, and a referee.
