Isaac Bruce is not only one of the best players to ever suit up for the Rams, but one of the game’s best wide receivers in history. He ranks 13th all-time in receptions (1,024), fifth in receiving yards (15,208) and 12th in touchdown catches (91), earning four Pro Bowl selections and winning one Super Bowl ring.
That incredible resume is what earned Bruce a spot in Canton as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the Class of 2020. He was supposed to take part in the enshrinement ceremony last year, but that was postponed due to the pandemic.
The Hall of Fame moved the event to this weekend and it will be held on Saturday night, with the Class of 2021 having its ceremony on Sunday night. Each member of the class will give a speech to the crowd and they have been told to limit their speeches to six minutes and they will be played off by music after eight minutes.
Below is the order of speeches, with Bruce being eighth in line.
1. Harold Carmichael
2. Cliff Harris
3. Edgerrin James
4. Steve Atwater
5. Paul Tagliabue
6. Steve Hutchinson
7. Donnie Shell
8. Isaac Bruce
9. Jimbo Covert
10. Troy Polamalu
11. Jimmy Johnson
12. Bill Cowher
The ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night and is expected to last until 10:30 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast on ESPN and NFL Network.
Considering the order of speeches, it’s likely that Bruce will give his toward the end of the evening, likely around 9:45-10 p.m. ET, depending on the length of the speeches ahead of him.
