The best moment of this Super Bowl week took place this afternoon in a conference room at the Super Bowl media center, when Lucille Hester, the sister of former Cowboys wide receiver Bob Hayes, read a letter that her late brother wrote to her before he died, detailing what he wanted to say if he was ever selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.That selection came today, and the letter that Hester read brought goose bumps and audible gasps to those in the room.

Hester also thanked Rick Gosselin and Paul Zimmerman, two Hall of Fame voters who have long championed Hayes’ induction.
