Despite it being her father's wish before he passed, the NFL Hall of Fame denied to let Sydney Seau give a full speech during Saturday's induction. Junior Seau's daughter delivered her full message beforehand, in this video.

After a 20 year career in the NFL, Junior Seau will always be known as one of the greatest linebackers to ever play the game.

In 2012, Seau committed suicide and it was later discovered that he had a degenerative brain condition, which was connected directly back to his playing days in the NFL and getting hits to the head repeatedly.

Referring to a rule that has been established for five years, the Hall of Fame would not allow a family member to give a full speech for a deceased individual.

Many were upset by this decision and while Sydney had an abbreviated message in a short one-on-one during Saturday's induction, this is the great message that his daughter was set to deliver.
