Indianapolis Colts legend Dwight Freeney joined the elite ranks of the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2024 on Saturday, August 3.
Freeney had a star-studded guest list, including the GOAT and six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan, who showed up to support the man behind the legendary spin move.

Freeney and Jordan have built a strong friendship over the years through being golfing buddies. This led to Jordan making the trip out to Canton, Ohio, to celebrate Freeney’s incredible accomplishment. On top of being there for his induction, Jordan was also present when former Colts head coach Tony Dungy showed up to break the news to Freeney that he had been selected as a member of the Pro Football class of 2024.
It wasn’t quite a knock “on” his door as it was his former coach Tony Dungy waiting for Dwight Freeney inside his door to let him know he will become a Hall of Famer.
