“Without Him, There Would Be No Me Today!” – GMA Host Michael Strahan Pays the Highest Tribute to NFL Legend!
Good Morning America star Michael Strahan has penned a heartbreaking tribute to the late Dan Reeves after he learned of the d3ath of the NFL coach.
In his message, the former NFL player wrote about how Dan had always “believed” in him and helped to shape him as a player. “RIP coach Reeves, my love and condolences to the Reeves’ family and his loved ones,” he started his tribute, sharing a photo of Dan, who passed away on New Year’s Day.
He continued: “Dan Reeves was a remarkable man and coach. I will never forget his southern drawl the first time he called my name when he drafted me in 1993.
“I knew how great of a coach he was from his years with the Denver Broncos, and I remember how excited I was because I also knew he’d help guide my career.“
He then expanded on how Dan shaped his career, explaining: “His decision to move me from the right side of the defensive line to the left side was a defining moment. It allowed me to become the player he knew I could be.
“He always believed in me. I couldn’t be more thankful for Dan and all the encouragement he gave me throughout my career. He was a man of integrity, class and incredible character.”
He finished his message by penning: “I’ll miss him, but take solace in knowing his legacy lives on within the NFL and all of the fans.”
