CANTON, Ohio -- Patriots owner Robert Kraft introduced Andre Tippett at tonight's Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony. Kraft's remarks came after a video tribute that included highlights of Tippett's career.

"I am a lifelong fan of the NFL and became a Patriots fan in 1960 when the team was founded. And in 1971, I became a season ticket holder and have enjoyed attending nearly every Patriots game with my family. Of all the players I watched and rooted for during that time, I can say without a doubt that Andre Tippett was the most dominant defender the Patriots have ever had and one of the greatest to ever play the game. Andre possessed the perfect combination of strength, speed and athleticism. In his prime, Andre was probably the most intimidating player in the game. I can’t think of a higher compliment for a linebacker. ..."
