First, Grimm began his career as a linebacker and move strongly opposed to the line, as Grimm recalled saying: “I’ll never play with my hand on the ground.” Fortunately, Grimm received some wise advice of the offensive line coach Joe Moore: “There is no greater feeling of a man moving from point A to point B, against their will.”

In addition, Grimm – never pork – announced during his speech he was embroidering the names of his fellow pigs within its Hall of Fame jacket as a constant reminder of the guys who helped him achieve his success, now immortalized. It was an elegant gesture of an accomplished Hall of Fame.
