Ronde Barber's Full Hall of Fame Speech | 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame | NFL 

Love Ronde Barber. He’s the reason teams are always looking for great slot corners. He changed the game. Very deserving HoF’er

Screamed for him, cheered for him, but today I cried for him. Thanks Ronde

the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers had Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Jon Lynch and Ronde Barber. that's 4 Hall of Famers on their defense. wow

Damn I almost forgot how good of a player rende Barber really was. The dude was legit consistently a top five corner of his time in era.3 of the top 10 CBs of all time are literally in the same hall of fame is amazing

Can we just recognize how insane it is that Monte Kiffin basically invented 2 new defenses? Based on 2 players. Derrick Brooks he built tampa 2 on. And nickel position around Rondé. If a coordinator should be in the hall it’s that guy Edit: ADD SIMEON RICE! 21st all time in sacks!

The man that put the nickel corner on the map. Well deserved 👏

Ronde has a good story behind his accomplishments Tampa Bay as a Buccaneer. He didn't start very impressive but like a good American Athlete he WORKED HARD for his achievements and he did. Congratulations Brother you deserve it.🏈

I played football with the Barbers from sandlot thru high school, all to say from that time till now, Rhonde and Tiki were and are class act gentlemen, a reflection of the manner in which their mother raised them up…..

The first player I really started being a fan of, and an absolute legend.

Hell yeah, what a speech!! Ronde Barber was my favorite Super Bowl Buccaneer. I even got a custom jersey made after his 10 interception 2001 season! Ronde's a baad man!!!

One of my fav speeches since Curtis Martin. I love it when the underdogs make it to the top. Congrats Ronde

I gotta say, I love where Ronde's mind was when he was playing. Especially with the legends he was surrounded with, it almost seems like there was a certain level of pressure to be great. High personal standards is a tough habit to acquire and maintain...you gotta respect people who try to be their best, 'cause they're competing against themselves more than any opponent

Now that defense needs Simeon rice and it’s complete. 122 sacks is HOF plain and simple

So proud of you, Ronde! That combination of ballhawk + physicality sustained at a high level is rare, and you brought it weekly for so long. Glad you’ve finally achieved this high honor that you 100% deserve ✊ Thanks for the great experiences and memories!

Much Deserved!!!! #GoBucs

🎉 finally ! T. B 🐐 &class act!

Allright, FANTASTIC SPEECH & A man with a LOT OF CLASS. A MAN with a GREAT FAMILY & many many friends. All your HARD WORK PAID OFF. So CONGRADULATIONS to you SIR, & YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT LIFE'S VERY BEST IN YOUR YEARS AHEAD. Also LOVED the GOD BLESS AMERICA at the end. We are ALL SO BLESSED to live in this GREAT COUNTRY. ( it's not perfect, but the best place there still is.) & to have the NFL to entertain us all these years. Enjoyed watching you play. MUCH RESPECT.

I remember scrimmaging Cave Spring in High School. It was "Barber twins this...and Barber twins that." When I first saw them I was not impressed. Yes, They were fast but they were very small. I played tight end for the opposing team. My play was called. The Dump pass! As I came off the line, the linebackers blitzed and I was wide open. I caught the ball, turned and all I saw was the top of a black helmet. Sometime later, as I sat on the bench, I realized what day it was, then where I was, then what had happened. Ronde, you gave me my first and last concussion and a great career as a spectator. I've always been a respectful fan of the Barber twins. Congratulations on the HOF!

Love ronde overdue the man is responsible for the greatest moment in sports with the int in the nfl championship game

He was good for so long .... And his longevity aside, you forget his greatness.

One of the best

Who is Ronde Barber? To the blind, he is the light. To the hungry, he is the bread. To the sick, he is the cure. To the lonely, he is the company. To the sad, he is the joy. To the prisoner, he is the freedom. To the poor, he is the treasure. For me, he is everything.

Ronde Barber, darn good football player 💯 And it’s crazy because , the bucs have 4 players from their 90s squad, ALONE, in the hall. Sheesh. Starting with Mr. Selmon, Bucs have had some great players on D.

40 INT AND 25 SACKS ...thats insane

I’m 23, and growing up i would read him and tiki’s sports books for kids. Literally grew up on them and read every single one. Crazy going from that (and ronde still playing until I was 12) to seeing him make the HOF. He was a huge part of my childhood, outside of football especially.

he was one of my favorites, i remember him picking off donavan mcnabb in the 2002 NFC championship game

Wahoowa, Ronde! Congratulations!

WAHOOWA! I had the privilege of watching him play when I was at UVA and was awesome to see him improve and thrive in the NFL. Classy dude. Well deserved honor.

Bravo !!! He was certainly great and a part of a great team!!!!!

one of the best to do it ... salute ronde

I’m pretty sure every man would say the same thing about their mom that he did. 🙏🏾💯💯

He was and is a part of the Buccaneers and the Tampa Bay Area.

I love Ronde..never met him..but Mr. Brooks I have...one of the nicest person you will ever meet,..Ronde...his speech was beautiful...

Well deserved!! Very smart player. If his brother Tiki wouldn’t retire so early, he would have great chance being in Canton.

Congratulations Ronde Barber! I love the 2 brothers.

About time. Been waiting for years to watch this video. Greatest Buc of all time. Tears

Legend

Mr Barber should run for president . We have nothing to lose

Let's go Ronde got in

Class act!! Well deserved!!

Finally! Well done Ronde 👍🏼

What a well spoken "MAN"💪 Congrats RONDE❤

LUV YEW RONDE 🥲

Watched it that night! I remember the eagles game! True legend and thank you as a fan sir.

Great guys Roanoke VA be proud

Let’s not forget that he never missed a game from 1998-2012! Also, Bruce Arians was never Barber’s Coach.

His interception at Veteran's Stadium was the greatest play in Buccaneer history.

Congratulations Ronde!

We love ya Ronde, an icon of Tampa

Great speech from Ronde

He did it the right way

Like the nod to Tiki!! Tiki should be in the HOF 🎯

Congrats and Go Bucs!!

A true Buccaneers about time number 20 Super Bowl champ Tampa FL

We need mike alstott in the hall of fame

extremely rare talented speaker

All 4 guys know Simeon Rice should be there with them, they've been saying it for years

TJ houshmandzadeh is somewhere hating right now .

Mike tomlin's that guy even as a DB coach he may ronde Hall of Famer

As a cowboys fan I love how he took shots at Philly fans 😆

#GOBUCS

Well if tiki ever gets in they won't need another statue lol

They look just alike 🤯

Should’ve been there years ago

Should've been first ballot, but its better late than never! Congrats, #363

Ronde shoulda been in Hall of Fame a grip ago

Ronde and Tiki gets their own bust win the Hall of Fame! 🤣

I was looking for the salty eagles fans but i couldn't find any You're the best ronde👍

2002 Bucs: Sapp, Brooks, Barber, Lynch, Rice, DC Monte Kiffin, and DB Coach Mike Tomlin....

If Tiki would have kept playing, he would have been in with his brother. He had the stats.

This is when football was football. You was going to get hit and someone was going to get hurt.

🐐 of cornerbacks. No question.

"Pride goes before a fall!" - The Bible

Too much me me me, pride, and no thanks or praise at all for his Creator who gave him the life, body, and talent.

So if Tiki makes it eventually will they just make a mold and copy the bronze bust?

Congratulations Ronda, but how is Eric Allen still waiting? 54 career INTs.

The Bucs had to figure out how to use him. He not a Revis where u ask him to sit on th3 boundary n shut down the #1 WR. U put him in the slot he becomes a HOF for sure

To understand the influence that Mike Tomlin had on Ronde is to understand why Mike Tomlin is still one of the best coaches in the NFL

He related to tiki barber

No mention of John Gruden over a leaked personal email??

You better say it Ronde. He told his wife that "she is the foundation for which he stands". Wow! That was beautiful and deep!

No love for Jon Gruden...I know it's controversial but still a little surprising

Good for him but where the hell is Charles Tillman? Crazy

the better barber?

Simeon rice is next

He snubbed Jon Gruden?

I wonder if Tiki is jealous? Because he's never going lol

why is Eli Manning's football for sale on here? Throwing shade to Tiki

What about me I delivered your water 💦 lol

My favorite play to this day is Ronde Barber intercepting Donovan McNabb for a pick-6 to send the 2002 Buccaneers to their very first Super Bowl. Go Ronde go!! 🏈 🏴‍☠️

Well deserved. 🫡🤝🏽

I agree with Deion Sanders. There are guys getting inducted that were great, but not 'game changing'. The HOF should be reserved for players that forced the game to change because they played in it. Players whose name HAVE to be mentioned when you talk about professional football. There are a lot of great players who did great things in the league, but they aren't players that literally changed how the game was played because of them.

Jon Lynch got in before him and Jon stayed getting beat and missing tackles

That's Tiki's bust

This is a smack to Lester Hayes face. Smh🤦🏻‍♂️

His brother tiki Barber? No. His twin brother tiki Barber. (Twin pet peeve)

I hope that his brother Tiki "Sneaky" Batber NEVER gets into the Hall of Fame

Because he and his twin both made the league, they made a big deal out of it. But watching him play several times I was never too terribly impressed. What was he like All Pro twice? YES, IT'S AMAZING TO MAKE IT TO THE NFL. What's next, Bob Uecker making it to Cooperstown?? ("Front row!")

You could tell he wanted to be a 49ers his entire career. But only very few special players can play for that team

Meh, the HOF is watered down and average players get in,.. mediocre and poorly educated..
