Jacksonville native and former Lee High School and Florida State star LeRoy Butler was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. This is his acceptance speech.
But my mom growing up in poverty, she made us think rich every day because it’s not about what you have on or what you have, it’s how you act. My siblings were amazing. My sister, platinum. Vikki. My brother, Michael, my brother Darion and my brother, Doug. They were great siblings to a special needs kid like me. But I want to thank my uncle, Charles Durham. He’s the one that came over one day and said ‘you’re trying out for sports.’ And he taught me everything I know.
L’Oreal Butler. I named her when I saw cosmetics. I woke up, I said ‘L’Oreal. That’s her name.’ Gabrielle Butler, that’s my model. Someday, I hope she get a modeling contract to help me out because daddy a’int got no money. Help me! Danielle, that’s my IT. She’s the who even told me about TikTok. Maria, that’s my little diva. I love her. Siera. That’s the only one of my kids that’s actually taller than me so I don’t stand by her.
So, I love my teacher and all teachers. My high school coach is Coach Corky Rogers, the winningest coach in Florida history. Coach Belger, Coach Warner and Leon Barrett. He’s the one who [who told me] stop smiling so much to be tough. But I can’t, Coach. I’m telling Miss Butler, I’m giving your baby a scholarship. Coach Andrews, get well soon. I love Coach. Couldn’t make it a day. Coach be going upstairs and hurt stuff we don’t have. Sit down and watch the speech, Coach. My life changed with the Packers. Now I’m one of the few guys up here and maybe the only guy up here to say I don’t go and say hello to fans at Pick N’ Save, I say hello to owners.
