Michael is so excited and grateful for the opportunity
It was back in September, that it was announced that his jersey will be retiring.
This incredible achievement was marked on GMA, with the star receiving a sweet surprise live on air. Michael’s former teammates jumped out in the studio, all dressed in his iconic 92 jersey, but to his delight.
“I realize what was going on as they would never wear my jersey unless there was a reason that they didn’t love me that much,” he said at the time.

Michael is also a father to four children including his teenage twins (pictured above)
“I will tell you this, it wouldn’t be possible without these three, they were all very instrumental in my career. I know Eli [Manning] is getting his jersey retired as well.”
He then joked: “I carried all three of these guys throughout their career so it works out perfectly!”
