WEBVTT DAD, I HOPE I MADE YOU PROUD. ANDREW: CERTAINLY AN EMOTIONAL MIGHT FOR JEROME BETTIS, AND WHILE JEROME SHARED HIS EMOTIONAL STORY ON THE STAGE, WE SAT AND WATCHED IT WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT STORY HAPPEN. JEROME'S FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FORMER TEAMMATES. THIS EMOTIONAL MIGHT FOR JEROME BETTIS BEGAN LONG BEFORE HE SPOKE. HIS MOTHER GLADYS, CARRYING HIS LATE FATHER'S HAT IN HER PURSE, WAS OVERWHELMED. I'M ECSTATIC. I'M ALMOST IN TEARS. I'M GOING TO HOLD ON UNTIL I SEE BOTH MY BOYS OF THEIR. IT'S INCREDIBLE TO HAVE TWO SONS . I'M SO HAPPY. ANDREW: JUST BEHIND THE FAMILY, HIS FORMER TEAMMATES. TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN, AS THEIR BROTHER RECEIVED PRO FOOTBALL'S ULTIMATE INDIVIDUAL HONOR. IT IS SPECIAL. IT IS VERY SPECIAL. I THINK ALL THE GUYS HERE FEEL WE HAVE A LITTLE PIECE OF HELPING JEROME ALONG HIS JOURNEY UP YOUR TO SEE HIM GO IN THERE FOR A GUY WHO IS WORKED HARD AND MEANT SO MUCH TO US AS TEAMMATES IS VERY SPECIAL. ANDREW: EVERY ONE OF THESE MEN WISH THEY COULD TAKE THE PODIUM. WHEN I CAME INTO PITTSBURGH, HE EMBRACED ME. I USED TO TELL MY FAMILY THAT ALL THE TIME. IT SEEMS SURREAL.
