Syracuse Legend Dwight Freeney's Reaction to Hall of Fame

Hey everyone, it's Nico Horning here with the Orange Fizz

Wanted to bring you another video here in the summer. And today we're on the topic of football

We're on the topic of Dwight Freeney because he is being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame

on August 3rd. I had a chance to catch up with Freeney last week

at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. It's one of the premier celebrity golf tournaments in the country

and it's probably the most premier. Around 90 celebrities that compete in this annual summer tournament

and Dwight Freeney was back for another year of golf. He actually finished around 30th place out of the 90 celebrities

So he played some good golf. He loves playing golf. But more importantly, we talked about football

We talked about his induction into the Hall of Fame coming up soon and we also talked about his spin move that he created early on in his career

that really stood out and is probably one of the best spin moves of all time

as Aaron Rodgers and Charles Woodson put it. They told me that he had this spin move that was so iconic

he came up with it and other people could just replicate it or copy it

DeMarcus Ware, another defensive end for the Broncos and Cowboys told me that he was just trying to replicate Freeney's spin move

and that Freeney obviously was the creator of that move. So the spin move was a hot topic this week or last week in Lake Tahoe

But also Dwight Freeney talking about what he's looking forward to about the induction ceremony

Thanking a lot of the people that he had early in his career both in the NFL but also at Syracuse

He had a lot of praise for Syracuse. Obviously had a really good senior season in all four years at Syracuse

Also noted his education and his mentors that he got at Syracuse

where he said that he really developed into a man there that furthered his NFL career

He spent most of his career with the Colts, won a Super Bowl in 2007 and obviously had the chance to catch up with him last week

You can find those two videos, interviews and articles on our Orange Fizz social networks as well as orangefizz.net

So thanks everyone for tuning in. This is Nico Horning from the Orange Fizz. Dwight Freeney's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction will be on August 3rd

So we hope you can tune in then. And for more coverage be sure to follow us throughout the summer

as we get ready for football season
