Ware's induction speech was inspired by his many Cowboys teammates. He also detailed a story he had never told publicly about having a gun pointed at his head after an altercation in a parking lot while in college

Ware said, via ProFootballTalk's Charean Williams

"I was attending a parking lot party when I was visiting home. My uncle was in his car, and without warning he was knocked across his head with a gun. A knife dropped to the ground, and I picked it up. When I looked up, all I could see was the potential shooter's eyes and a gun barrel pressed to my head

"I heard my family scream, 'Don't kill him. ' There was an eerie silence after which I simply said, 'This isn't me,' and I dropped the knife. At that moment, I knew God gave me a second chance, and I had to do something with it. That was my turning point. "

Joe Klecko, New York Jets

Klecko, who spent 11 of his 12 seasons with the Jets, was presented by former Gang Green teammate Marty Lyons

The 69-year-old played for the Jets from 1977-87 and ended his career with the Indianapolis Colts in 1988. He was a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and is the only player in NFL history to be selected to the Pro Bowl at all three positions across the defensive line

Klecko played defensive end, defensive tackle and nose tackle for the Jets and was arguably the most important member of the "New York Sack Exchange" in the 80s

Pro Football Hall of Fame @ProFootballHOF

Joe Klecko and Marty Lyons will always be linked in football history as members of the New York Sack Exchange.

"I had a great career and I had a wonderful ride. I pray that I have treated everyone with respect. I wanted to be remembered as a player who gave it his all. I wanted to win every down and every battle. I always felt that if you're not mad at yourself, if you lost one battle, you didn't belong on a football field. And if you didn't lose one, what were you going to do to never lose that battle again? I've always said, 'That's how you play the game. '"

Klecko's speech was also lauded by fans, who joined in on a Jets chant after he was finished

The 87-year-old played for the Cowboys from 1961-73 and began his career with the Chicago Bears from 1958-59. He enters the Hall of Fame as a six-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro, Super Bowl VI champion and Super Bowl V MVP

Howley remains the only player in NFL history on the losing team in the Super Bowl to take home the championship MVP award

Howley's son, Scott Howley, gave his father's induction speech, which included the entire crowd giving his father, who was unable to attend the ceremony, a shoutout

Scott Howley said in the speech, via ProFootballTalk's Charean Williams

"At the time, dad believed his football career was over. But the Cowboys believing in his potential allowed him to make a remarkable comeback. Their willingness to take a chance on him enabled dad to reach new heights and really realize his talent. In fact, coach Landry once remarked, 'I don't know if I've ever seen anybody better at linebacker than Chuck Howley. "

Darrelle Revis, New York Jets

Revis, who spent eight of his 11 seasons with the Jets, was presented by his mother, Diana Askew

The 38-year-old enters the Hall of Fame as a seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro and a Super Bowl champion. He played for the Jets from 2007-12 and again from 2015-16. He suited up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013, the New England Patriots in 2014 and the Kansas City Chiefs to end his career in 2017

Revis won his lone Super Bowl along side Tom Brady with the Patriots during the 2014 season, much to the demise of Jets fans

Revis added in his speech, via ProFootballTalk's Charean Williams

"Basketball was my first love, so it's kind of surreal to be here today in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Life is shaped by the choices we make, but there is one thing we cannot choose. Where we come from is chosen for us. No one has control over when they're born, what family they're born into or where they start. But these things have a profound impact on every decision we make and who we become. The conditions had to be just right for me to end up here. Every moment, every opportunity perfectly aligned. "

NFL Twitter went on to praise Revis as one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play the game

He also boasts a legendary coaching tree that includes John Madden, Joe Gibbs, Ray Perkins, Jim Hanifan and Jim Mora

Rondé Barber, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
