*Best of* The Knock on the Door

President & CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame David Baker started a tradition in 2016 to "Knock on the Door" of the newly elected Class Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Here are snippets of the best moments full of emotion and nostalgia.

These have been seen on ESPN, NFL Network & across all social platforms for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

i love how this man towers over everyone he's like a football zeus that lets you into football heaven

[Xaverian]

Terry Bradshaws reaction for Jimmy Johnson gets me every time. Dude is so excited for his friend.

[brianconnelly]

You can tell, when David Baker knocks on that door, he's as happy, he's as excited as the men receiving that knock... This never gets old for me, watching these

[mli]

Baker: *knock knock knock*
Nathan peterman: "took you long enough"

[strivetoglory]

Randy Moss hit me right in the feels, well deserved

[stevemeters]

I love that moss answered in a white t. that's why he's the best.

[frankjudepi]

I was actually getting tears in my eyes as I watched this. I would like to take a moment to thank Brett Favre for snapping me back to reality.

Knock Knock:
“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty...”

[christhayil]

Randy Moss's reaction is so genuine, it gets me every time

[theycallmekv]

*knock knock
Player: omg finally
*family cries and hugs

*knock knock knock
“House keeping!”

As a Jets fan, Kevin Mawae is one of the few things of which we're proud. What an amazing center.

[TwizslurD]

I've noticed something binge watching these. David Baker, while embracing the inductees and delivering his speech, has the awareness and compassion to make sure the door stays open. So that the family is involved in the moment as well, as they should be. Major respect for this man on that alone.

[davidstewart]

How good was the Jimmy Johnson one! The guys were pumped for him - amazing

[Hollowsmith]

I think the most shocking information I've ever learned, is that David Baker is not a former NFL football player.

[hiltonnettles]

Brett Favre was like "Yeah, I figured as much."

[SonicGlitchmaster]

I love the reactions from Hutchinson and Mawae. As offense lineman, they’re often overlooked, so knowing that they’re getting enshrined in the HOF despite playing a relatively unappreciated position makes it so much sweeter

[kwicksand]

Bro Steve Hutchinson’s reaction gets me every time.

[bearcavesports]

When randy started crying i started crying like i got in 🤣 Mr Baker has a way of saying it. It just sounds like you have arrived at last. Very beautiful.

[danielkelham]

It’s amazing that when these guys were kids, they dreamed of making into the NFL
It’s even more amazing that they make it into the NFL, but then getting the knock and seeing David Baker at their door, knowing they’ll be immortalized in the Hall of Fame, I can’t imagine the emotions they feel, it’s incredible
This is why we love football

[cdub]

Love David Baker, I hope he’s the guy that stands at the pearly gates and welcomes us home.
