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

[@mortystraphouse5077]

how is he in the HOF and not patrick willis??????? these voters r idiots

[@michaelwashington4408]

Tru he made the slot corner important...

[@marcus813]

Defensive coordinators have Barber to thank for having a template for how to use their nickelbacks, but there probably won't be another NB like him.

[@bogipepper]

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

[@flyguy7825]

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

[@PiyachonYuenyongHYDE]

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

[@wolfpacsyxx]

I mean sapp to me was fringe I would have said yes but lower tier like take 10 years and no one else or that group they were never that great. That’s me personally.

[@ZOMBIE_STOMP]

​@wolfpacsyxx you saying the 2002 bucs weren't great???

[@wolfpacsyxx]

@@ZOMBIE_STOMP I’m saying that’s not 4 hof players. And that team was mightily lucky they had a great playoff run for sure but to say all those guys are hof ers is crazy especially lynch he doesn’t doesn’t to be there at all

[@seancramer1521]

@@wolfpacsyxx you must not have been around to watch and know football during the early 2000s this team and roster nearly played in two super bowls. This player has earned everything he was given in this league the other HOFers on that defense were no doubters so. Good luck with your opinion that is not factual

[@wolfpacsyxx]

@@seancramer1521 I did watch them they were great for a few years but only sapp has the credentials for hof and even then maybe 5th ballot I mean the guy ended up as a defensive liability couldn’t even stop the run left his teammates out to dry

[@seandillon1359]

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!

[@cellslave]

One day......... he will be..... 50 years from now I guarantee this Bucs D will get the credit and recognition it truly deserves. I hope I'm around to see it! ..... LFG!

[@mribbon89]

Simeon Rice was one of the best right defensive ends in what is probably the greatest era of left tackles in history. He's a hall of famer in my book.

[@nickshearer3091]

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

[@lovejazz]

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.🏈

[@DanielOrfield]

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…..

[@BucsFan1307]

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

[@seandillon1359]

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

[@biggtastee2401]

No it is not, one stat doesn't make you a HOF player. He was a very good player no doubt, but he is not HOF worthy. The HOF should be reserved for those players whose name HAS to be mentioned when you talk professional football. Simeon Rice is not one of those names.

[@seandillon1359]

[@Tillyard86]

Bucs ring of Honour first.

[@hermanshula9449]

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!!!

[@MikeBNumba6]

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

[@dabadc]

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

[@majinsole8554]

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!

[@coryperkins6812]

Much Deserved!!!! #GoBucs

🎉 finally ! T. B 🐐 &class act!

[@user-pz4pf3kq9j]

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.

[@dreambiggmedia]

40 INT AND 25 SACKS ...thats insane

[@giffondhall9214]

Fr

[@MWiley-tg7bj]

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!

[@rkupiecjr]

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

[@ChristopherMikrowelle]

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.

[@yojomma685]

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.

[@jimmyj5038]

One of the best

[@NeoNitty]

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.

[@luc-rikardofils6673]

Again, the only other all-time great defense that has as many players as them in the Hall is the Steel Curtain.

[@gregd6706]

Simeon Rice should be next.

[@mikemiller8430]

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

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.
