Urlacher will focus on others in HOF speech

The former star middle linebacker revealed that he had already started to write his induction speech and is required to turn in a rough draft to the Hall of Fame in the near future. Urlacher and the rest of the Class of 2018 will be enshrined Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio.

"That day you won't hear me talk a lot about myself," Urlacher said. "I've just never been comfortable doing that. It's going to be a lot of me talking about the reasons why I'm there, people that helped me get there, my family, and just stuff like that.
