Can’t even write all the words of admiration I have in my heart for this man. Few that can match the person, player, professional, competitor, and of course the CHAMPION! I am but a blurb in this enormous legacy but I’m honored to be one of the brightest blurbs! We share our DOB as well as the greatest play in NFL history! (Yeah I said it!) But Eli you stand alone as the Giant of Giants...Salute! 🙏🏾🍾🏆

Thank you Eli for everything you have done for me on and off the field! Thank you for accepting me as your Center when I first transitioned from being a Guard. Thank you for being the best teammate anyone could ask for. Thank you for being a great leader, role model, friend, and a brother to me! Happy retirement buddy! #EliTheGreat #HOF #10
