This was and still is a proud moment for Detroit, Coach Bob Dozier and the rest of David Mackenzie High School. Feels real good to see one of your own in the HOF.

Who the hell dislikes this. The bus is one of the all time class acts..

Denver Bronco fans - mostly the fans that think TD should be in the Hall of Fame. TD had great O-line and a Hall of Famer at quarterback., HOFer TE. Minus John Elway - TD stats are average.

People who were tearing up trying to hit the like button and hit dislike on accident.

I was 3 years old when this man joined the Steelers. No other running back has shown as much grit. He really was someone to look up to back then

What a day, what a speech and what a man. I'm proud to be a Jerome Bettis and a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. Congratulations, Bus.

I started crying when his daughter started crying, and just kept on crying. Man that was touching.

Proud to be a steeler. Congrats jerome

For several decades I passed up going to Canton to see so many Steelers inducted into the HOF but had to be there for this one. Congratulations Jerome!

As Alan Faneca said in the 4th qtr of the Super Bowl with a Steelers lead, “RIDE THE BUS, RIDE EM!” Keep on riding bro! Thanks for all you did for Steeler nation!

One of a kind player. 6th all time leading rusher and the elite big back in the NFL history.

Bettis was a tank.

I also vowed never to visit until The Bus made it in, and the minute he was confirmed, the plans were made. It was the best (and worst) experience, because the logistics for the weekend there sucked, but seeing The Bus finally achieve this long overdue accomplishment was worth it.

Amazing comment, because I can tell ya I've met several professional athletes, either in passing, at events, etc, and 99% of them come across as a bit arrogant and bigoted. But NO ONE has come across as so humble, down to earth and relatable as Jerome Bettis. Truly is an all-round good guy

This was on my birthday and i was there. Ill never forget this! #TookJeromeHome

Watching Netflix Icons. Eagles fan here. Jerome Bettis is pure class. A genuine good man and great football player. I'd have him on any Eagles team any time.

Jerome Bettis, a class act. He uses his own moment to talk to JrSeaus kids and tell them how great of a man their father was. That proves it right there.

Great speech by a great running back and greater man! Jerome "The Bus" Bettis you deserved this honor for the years you kicked total butt in the Black & Gold! #STEELCITY

Great Speech. Jerome Bettis one of my favorites growing up.

I met The Bus when I was 10yrs old,he came to Aliquippa High School which is still to this day the most dominant high schools in football in Pennsylvania. I got the blessed opportunity to meet him and I told him "Mr. Bettis I want to be a football player like you when I get bigger" he got on a knee looked me in my eyes and said "big guy you're gonna be a better football player than me". Thanks to Mr. Bettis albeit due to injuries in high school I never got the chance to make it pro I had the drive,determination,and dedication to be the best player I could possibly be on and off the field. Congrats Mr. Bettis this kids life you touched and changed. Congratulations you deserve it.

I love Jerome Bettis, he has such a positive personality

Congrats Jerome, well deserved.

I'm at awe. Thank you Jerome Bettis. You are a classic act.

I watch this over n over. go Steelers

I love Bettis. More than a footballer, as a human being, as a family man. What a role model.

This really was my favorite speech of the night and the Juniors family 2, congrats on all the hall of famers in their induction.

Must be such a proud moment for every player who gets to experience this, all the hard work in your career for this moment

How amazing for his kids to see how much their Dad is loved and respected. Steeler Nation will always have the Bus running!!!

From North Versailles, Pa. Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go! Seeing those towels and hearing the chant brought me chills. Man I know I'm getting old when I vividly remember him being traded here on draft day to now being inducted into the hall. Time is going too damn fast.

Jerome you R a big man in my book, and not because you a R football star, but big as a person, you made your whole beautiful family cry and I cried along with them, G-D bless you and your family, and I do hope your M om will get well as G-D take care of G-D's people. PS glad to hear that your trip to ISR. was a good one, we need more people like you you in this world.

"When I grow up, I want to be like Jerome Bettis" -Me when I was 14

Jerome Bettis. Won a Super Bowl the year he had 5 carries for 4 yards, and three touchdowns in a game. THE BUS!

I actually have a Jerome Bettis jersey my little sister bought for me a million years ago. I'm no Steelers fan, and she probably just picked out a jersey that's cool looking! But Jerome Bettis really was one of my favorite players growing up!

Great speech, I was glad too see that Jerome represented Detroit, Michigan well!!!!

What a punishing running game Pittsburgh had when Bettis was there. Great offensive lines and fullbacks like Tim Lester, Dan Kreider and Jon Whitman.

True Steeler. All heart

Good job big man well deserved honor

congrats Bettis awesome speech

I went to this live on my birthday with floor passes! So cool! I was trashed haha

As heartfelt as a speech can get.

It's similar to a church where people sing and clap. But Bettis' had a wonderful speech to his people and his former teammates. The Steelers still remember his time with them when they signed him

True class!! Congrats Bus

30 minutes and 50 seconds was the best part of Jerome Bettis speech

Everybody loved "The Bus" !

Best memories of Jerome. 4th Quarter and the Steelers have the ball and the lead. EVERYONE knows that Bettis is getting the ball and he still gets 3-4 yards with the entire defense trying to stop him! I live in Latrobe and seeing him up close in training camp and thinking, there is no way was he weighs 250lbs. I think each of his legs weighed that much!

We always super deep! #SteelerNation!!!!

Proud of you, Bus. WE ARE ND!

my hero

loved watching the bus at notre dame !

Wow...just wow

I always thought Bettis looked like the late great R and B singer Gerald LeVert, both the best to do it in their respective professions.

Bettis was a real beast, and was the first.

I LOVE THE BUS At NOTRE DAME and with the STEELERS just was Wondering why he never mentioned Dan Kreider?

What a Steeler looks like

I never liked Jerome until he put on the Black and Gold! A Steelers legend (along with many others) Gotta LOVE 'da Bus!

AWESOME

Heeeeeere weee go! #blackandyellowforlife

wwe yes

I remember when the bus in the eyes of the hall of fame wasn't a first ballot hall of fame so he had to wait long to get in.

Westside Detroit OG JB...he ran over my cousin who was playing DB ; when they played Henry Ford in '88 it still all good!! one love BUS! Trojans still won doe! .. lol

Determination : Running over Brian Urlacher in the snow to help punch the Steelers ticket into the playoffs as the first 6th seed to win it all.
