Marty Lyons will be inducted tonight into the Football Bowl Subdivision College Football Hall of Fame.

Lyons was a first-team All-American defensive tackle in 1978 at Alabama after leading the Crimson Tide to the national championship in the Sugar Bowl. He was the '78 SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and helped the Tide to three conference titles.

"So today I represent my teammates because they made me a better player. Today I represent Coach (Paul) Bryant, and his coaching staff because they gave me vision. And more importantly I represent the fans of the University of Alabama for that rich tradition.

From his wiki page:

Quote
While a player with the Jets, a series of events — the birth of his eldest son, the passing of his father, and the passing of a little boy to whom Lyons had been a Big Brother — inspired him to establish the Marty Lyons Foundation to work with terminally ill children, providing them wishes. He won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 1984 as a result of that work. In December 2011, Lyons will be honored by the Heisman Trust as the recipient of the sixth annual Heisman Humanitarian Award for his work with his Foundation. [6]
