The Pro Football Hall of Fame welcomed eight new members on Saturday.
Defensive backs made up half the field, with Johnny Robinson, Champ Bailey, Ed Reed and Ty Law earning their gold jackets.
Two players who can claim to be the best at their position of all time also took center stage, with center Kevin Mawae and tight end Tony Gonzalez earning the trip to Canton, Ohio.
Former Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and former Dallas Cowboys vice president of player personnel Gil Brandt rounded out the group.
The night wasn't short on powerful and profound moments, perhaps none more so than Bailey's closing.
