CANTON, Ohio — The speech and official enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame comes on Saturday for legendary Seahawks safety Kenny Easley.
But the way Easley reacted it’s possible that getting his gold jacket on Friday night — signifying inclusion into the special fraternity — won’t be easy to top.
Easley and the six other inductees were presented with the jackets in a ceremony at the Canton Civic Center — Easley’s son, Kendrick, did the honors in slipping the gold jacket onto his father.
“I tell you one thing — I might need to get another one because I’m going to wear this one out,” Easley said in an NFL Network interview that was played to the audience shortly after his presentation.
