He wasn’t on stage in Canton, Ohio, but former Chicago Bears star Steve McMichael was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in what was an incredibly emotional moment on Saturday afternoon.
McMichael was surrounded by his wife, daughter and other members of the Bears’ 1985 defense as his bust was unveiled inside his home in the Chicago suburbs. The 66-year-old has been battling ALS over the past several years, which has limited him to his bed and taken away his ability to speak on his own.
Despite that, McMichael still received the induction ceremony he deserved in what was perhaps the best part of the 2024 Hall of Fame ceremony.
