Wtf he on a vegan diet

[@ifincstudios]

To me, they were the best LB team EVER

[@hammersampson]

This guy did have a sixth sense on the field. He was always in position to make the play. It was truly incredible.

[@bigtyme88]

it really should've been the Willis and Bowman show

[@jafopt]

I am curious about his mom story. Guessing it’s not a great one.

Greatest linebacker without a Super Bowl.

[@RDSports5]

Learned a long time ago that Super Bowls don't define greatness in this sport. It's a team sport, and they are team and organizational accomplishments, much more than individual ones. Super Bowl or not, Patrick Willis was and IS the greatest LB I ever saw

[@ElRooster-ep6qm]

what a breath of fresh air. not once did he mention awards or accolades. just what he was thankful for. congrats to Willis...my fave Niner.

[@Novem3ber11]

If he did, he earned it. There's certain folks, many, who have what they have, and it was given to them. Didn't earn it at all. It was handed to them simply because...

[@YusukeKnight]

One of my favorite players ever congratulations to him

[@NoMoreTortillas1]

The year was 2007 on a very cold night on the 15th of December, the 49ers faced the Bengals, a young 16 year old from a small town 3 hours away from SF was fortunate enough to watch his favorite rookie in person. Couple weeks later, that 16 year old got his first 49ers jersey which was a Willis jersey with that beautiful shadow on the numbers. 16 years later that kid is fortunate enough to watch his favorite player get inducted to the hall of fame! Thank you P.Willis for what you did!

[@randomname3715]

Wait. Sterling Sharpe played the Exact amount of games as Willis. Sharpe was only second to Jerry Rice during that time, even better in a few of those seasons. Receiving triple crown twice. Now there are no excuses to not put Sterling in the HOF!!!

I totally agree with you…he should’ve been in the HoF, years ago !

Well deserved 🥲👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫡 one of my favorite Niners of all-time, the leadership, the energy, the intensity he brought to the team is unmatched, he was our Ray Lewis and definitely deserved a Super Bowl in his career. I was kind of sad when he retired but now that I'm older I understand and respect that. He came in as a Niner and retired as a Niner. I see Patrick Willis legacy flow through Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw and they are carrying on tradition. Congratulations Patrick Willis, you made it!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Raiders fan, I will never cheer or like the 49ers. Patrick Willis is 1 of 2 49ers I actually liked, i could never hate on him, truly one of the greats, and after watching and hearing his speech, I have even more love n respect for him. I remember when he retired bay area media was saying he was great but not good enough to be a hall of famer because his career was short. He proved them wrong. #2 is Frank Gore, he should get the gold jacket soon.
