chongli Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I didn't see this mentioned here and couldn't find it in a search, but if it was, please feel free to merge or delete this post. Last month, Andre Reed (Class of 2014) was announced as one of the four Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket coaches for this year's 3-day adult fantasy camp in September, along with Cris Carter (Class of 2013), Brian Dawkins (Class of 2018), and Terrell Davis (Class of 2017). Andre's statement: https://www.profootballhof.com/pro-football-hall-of-fame-fantasy-camp-set-for-sept-16-18-2021/ “When I heard about the Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp, I knew I wanted to be a part of it,” shared Reed. “This an opportunity for true fans of the game to experience it like never before and showcase their skills at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. I am looking forward to scouting, drafting and coaching alongside my fellow Hall of Famers, Cris Carter, Terrell Davis and Brian Dawkins.”" Here is the official link: https://www.profootballhof.com/fantasycamp Excerpt: "Each participant will get the chance to participate in NFL Combine-like drills to showcase their skills to the Gold Jackets, who during an NFL Draft style event, will draft their teams for the games. Every player will get to play in scrimmages leading up to their game that will take place in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Included with the event registration fee are hotel stay, meals, ground transportation in Canton, plus each participant will receive an exclusive HOF Gear Pack and a behind the scenes tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There will also be social gatherings and networking opportunities for each participant." This is the itinerary: Thursday, September 16, 2021 12pm - 5pm: Check-in 6:30pm - 8pm: Welcome Dinner 8pm - 10pm: Tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Friday, September 17, 2021 8am - 9am: Breakfast 9:30am - 11:30am: Combine 11:30am - 12:30pm: Lunch 12:30pm - 1pm: 7v7 Tutorial 1pm - 2:30pm: Scrimmages 3pm - 4pm: Film Study 7pm - 8pm: Dinner 8pm - 10pm: HOF Draft Experience Saturday, September 18, 2021 8am - 9am: Breakfast 9:30am - 11am: Pre-Game Practice 11am-1pm: Games 1pm - 2:30pm: Lunch/Photo Op 2:30pm - 3:30pm: Consolation Game 3:30pm - 4:30pm: Championship Round 4:30pm - 5pm: Championship Ceremony/Photos 7pm - 10pm: Dinner & Awards I have to admit it was funny watching the men, many of whom were out-of-shape (to be kind), participate in the combine and drills above, but it looks like they had fun.

Greg S Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Speaking of Andre when are the Bills going to retire #83? He deserves it just as much as 12,34,and 78. 3

Not sure about that....he was a great player, a hall of famer. Number retiring is another level, not sure he is there.

When I think of the Super Bowl teams I think of 12,34,78,83 first. IMHO I think he should have his number retired.

The other guys were first or second ballot guys, Andre was not. He was not as dominant at his position as the others. I agree I think of him too with those SB teams. Tasker/Talley and some others also.
