"Tom, I will tell you, I wish I could have played back in your era," the fearsome defender said. "I could see how you did all that you've done. Because you've done more than any other player could even think about doing from an offensive point of view. If I'm going into the game and I'm thinking, ‘How am I gonna have to play you?’ Wow. I mean, that's a whole lot of work, man.

"You have some great skills, man. You should be very proud of what you've done. And I know you are very proud because when we look at the best and think about the best and reminisce about the best, your name’s gotta be on the top level, on the number one level right now. You're the number one guy in football that I haven't hit, OK?"
