[@Daddyodigital]

He was the man.

[@717rocket]

I love when some of these old players get their day, I never followed Chris’s career he must of been a great player.

[@bobma6342]

He sure was

[@chrisslaughter5552]

Hangman Chris Hanbuger ...Welcome to Canton.

[@abrahamjackson6019]

In the seventies growing up as a kid I was a hardcore Cowboys fan and I couldn't stand Chris Hamburger , because he was so damn good...

[@vince065us]

This is a very good speech.

[@dgil1911]

Manny Sistrunk, Jack Pardee, Myron Potios, Mike Bass, Sonny Jurgensen, Charlie Haraway, Jerry Smith, Roy Jefferson, Jim Snowden, ......what a team. Skins for life !

[@nicefella3]

My Favorite Redskin gets his due!!!! Finally...!!

[@naught666]

Billy Kilmer, Ron McDole, Pat Fischer, Brig Owens, Larry Brown...Wow! Was Charlie Taylor, Len Hauss, Diron Talbert, Kenny Houston, Mike Bass there as well? I could go on forever reliving Redskins' past cuz there's no present.

[@CharlesHSanson]

Great intro job by son, Chris. The pride and happiness comes thru clearly and sincerely. Chris, the dad and player, is a refreshing contrast to the "look-at-me" players that today's ESPN 24/7 environment has created and exploited. HOF is well-deserved and long overdue.

[@mikeaustin1]

If you were never lucky enough to see Chris play for the Redskins, you missed a truly thrilling thing. Chris wasn't big, and although fast not exceptionally so, but man oh man was he STRONG for his size! His upper body strength was unbelievable, and he would easily grab and twist the biggest players to the ground. I heard that the surgeons having trouble cutting into him for his appendectomy, and I believe it. Congrats to Chris, a quiet guy but a tremendous talent. Totally deserving.

👏👌🥰

[@bobma6342]

Fact: The players who assisted Chris Hanburger on tackles were known as Hanburger Helpers.

[@depaola63]

I remember this guy, I knew he was good when I was a kid in the 70's watching those great NFL games of the era! I had no idea Mr. Hanbuger was a HOF player! God bless him! His son talking about him, brought tears to my eyes, I am now a 52 years old man, who's father cut out on him at age 14! So I truly admire this!

[@chrisharrington4373]

Nicky Depaola i am a friend of his daughter ang her husband. I recieved a personalized autographed photo of him from his daughter. It was a great gift and i was honored to recieve it

[@ozdawg69]

not a redskins fan, but i have great respect for this man after that speech

[@HTTR]

@BigGravyTheClown VERY proud to be a Redskins fan today...this man embodies what it means to be a man and an American! HAIL TO THE HANGMAN!

[@lillybloom1590]

My husband says Hanburger was the best "shoestring tackler ever to play."

[@DallasWillAlwaysSuck]

great speech!

[@NateInDC]

I was there, great ceremony

[@sfish714]

Best Redskin hair in history!! Probably still good enough to start today.

[@stevenp25100]

HTTR!!!!

[@PaulGreen11]

But, it took Too long to get Chris Hamburger in the H.O.F..

[@frankcastle7036]

Can Berman get a suit that fits???

[@yusufu9]

Those Redskin defenses in the 60s were pretty porous, but Chris Hanburger played ever game like an all-pro, with intelligence, determination, and toughness. He was a fantastic tackler when chasing down runners going outside and qbs setting up in the pocket. Class act all the way!

[@JAWrightonline]

North Carolina Tar Heel outside linebackers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Chris Hanburger and...Lawrence Taylor!

[@hitpaydrtwithkdrt]

@BigGravyTheClown, I agree. I respect the hell out of this guy and Im an Eagle fan.

[@strouther1]

What took so long.

[@geo_ashburn]

Seeing the Highlight Video, Some of those tackles would be 15 yard penalties today

[@AZDC99]

It's been morphing into flag football for more offense for more ratings unfortunately

[@johnmassoud930]

Most. Different game now. I grew up watching Hanburger play. Loved him as a kid. Respect the heck out of Hanburger even more now.

[@halospartan117899]

Why does Aikman look so pissed at him?

[@ArcticRaven0]

This guys in the HOF and Harvey Martin's not? What a joke

[@HTTR]

Nah...not true. Don't hate on my guy cuz the Hall of Fame committee can't get it right on your guy. Maybe if your guy didn't use so much nose-candy in his day, he wouldn't have had such a hard time getting in...just sayin.

[@michaelsanicola3318]

The Cowboys tried to trade for Hanburger every season during his career according to Gil Brandt .... I guess they didn’t think he was joke.

[@kevinlandess3656]

Harvey martin was good player on a iconic great team hamburger was iconic great player on a good team the joke is hamburger wasn't put in HOF 30years ago

[@geebeeinga]

No comparison between the two. Hanburger was a class act and a standout over many years on some very mediocre teams. Martin had flashes of dominance over a few years but nothing close to the longevity and excellence of this guy. Hanburger was the real deal unlike Martin. No joke.

[@PurpleImpactStrategies]

HM is not a HOF

[@mikeaustin1323]

Mike Lucci and Tommy Nobis deserve Hall of Fame consideration
