With the news last week that the Pro Football Hall of Fame game and induction ceremony will be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, many wondered how this year's group of 20 inductees would react.
Most, including former Pitt and Bears star Jimbo Covert, seem OK with the decision.
Count former Steelers great Troy Polamalu, the only first-ballot inductee this year, among that group.
What's another year compared to eternity in bronze? ? In all seriousness, I am grateful and blessed for this honor, and look forward to the celebration alongside my brothers. #HeadedToTheHall - see you in 2021. @HeadShoulders @ProFootballHOF #ad https://t.co/u1Yzv7FQqp
