Former Minnesota Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, and teammate Fran Tarkenton spoke for him at the podium.

Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press told us why Tarkenton took the stage:

Mick Tingelhoff doesn't speak at his induction. He's had health issues, including memory problems, in recent years.

Mick Tingelhoff has just Fran Tarkenton speak for him.
