“I am very happy for him, ... What a role model he is. He is everything you would want your son to be. He is a remarkable young man who was great for the history of our game.”
“If you had to win a game, it's a toss-up between Steve Young, John Elway and Dan Marino, ... Steve had that one unique quality of scrambling away from pressure, John would lumber for the first down and Dan had an unbelievable arm. It was never over when Steve was on the field; he had the unique ability to do things that were almost impossible. He could lift the entire team with his ability alone.”
“It is wonderful, ... Steve and Dan took professional football to a whole different level with the way they played the game. The fact that Steve is going in with Dan is very special.”
“We spent a lot of time together on Sunday nights before a Monday night game, ... He was always very forthcoming with his information. Some players were testy and tough to deal with, but Steve was very helpful to us despite being much more in demand than other players.”
“I know he had the same emotions and the will to win that I had, ... I'm sure that he imparted some of the guys on his team with the will to win. He never gave less than 100 percent on the field.”
“Everyone I know who has gone through the circuit has been humbled by it, it is an awesome experience, ... As much as he has done in his career, he will be awed by it. It was an unbelievable moment for me. I had the honor of having Wellington Mara (New York Giants owner) as my presenter. I was really blown away by it. It was very humbling.”
