Miami Dolphins HOF Jason Taylor (transcribed by Ted Leshinski)

Stephen Ross:

“Congratulations, Jason. It is a privilege to share this special day with you. On behalf of the Miami Dolphins and the fans, I want to say thank you for giving us 13 seasons of greatness here in this stadium. Fans, please direct your attention to the West Endzone as we transform Jason Taylor from Miami Dolphins Ring of Honor member to Pro Football Hall of Famer.”

Jason Taylor:

“Thanks. Thank you very much David Baker (President of the Pro Football Hall of Fame) and your entire staff at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What an amazing journey it was for the past year to now be a member of the Hall of Fame. Thank you very much. (Owner) Stephen Ross, (President) Tom Garfinkel, and the entire Miami Dolphins organization, you guys have been great to me for 13 years. Even the two years I wasn’t in Miami, you guys were still great to me. I owe so much to the Miami Dolphins organization. And to all of the great Miami Dolphins fans who are here today and around the world, I love you guys. You guys made it worth coming out here every Sunday. There’s no greater feeling than walking out that tunnel knowing the Miami Dolphins fans are going to be here supporting us through thick and thin. I couldn’t do it without you guys. I want to thank my family. I love you guys. It’s been an amazing journey. I’m so proud of my kids. I look forward to watching you guys wherever this journey takes you. It may not be football, but wherever. I love you. And most importantly, to all the aqua jackets standing in the back – all my former teammates, the gold jackets that are here – one of which I got to play with (is) Dan Marino and the others I did not – but these guys you see here in those jackets are the reason I’m in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’m a lucky guy that gets to stand up here and talk about it, wearing the jacket and getting the ring; but guys like Pat Surtain, and Sam Madison, Tim Bowens and all those guys who did all the work for me. Guys, I love you very much. Thank you for being here. Miami Dolphins fans, thank you for being here. I love you.”
