Claude Humphrey, the longtime defensive end of the Atlanta Falcons who finished his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, has chosen his daughter Cheyenne Humphrey-Robinson to present him for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 2.
She becomes just the third daughter ever to serve as a presenter. John Elway was presented by his daughter Jessica in 2004, and last year Warren Sapp was presented by his daughter Mercedes.
The first “official” duty for the seven presenters will occur at the Gold Jacket Dinner on Friday, Aug. 1. It is during this event that the presenters will place the Hall of Fame Gold Jackets on the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Then, at the Enshrinement Ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 2, dramatic video presentations. Each member of the Class of 2014 will then have their presenter accompany them to the Enshrinement podium where together they will unveil the Hall of Famer’s bronze bust for the first time.
