Eagles Nation Reacts to Harold Carmichael’s Long-Overdue Call to the Hall of Fame

It's a good morning for Eagles fans everywhere.

After decades of waiting, Eagles legend Harold Carmichael is finally heading to Canton, Ohio, as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The announcement came on Wednesday morning that Carmichael is one of 10 senior inductees for the 2020 class as a part of the NFL's 100th anniversary.

To anyone who has ever met Carmichael, the outpouring of love and congratulatory messages on Wednesday morning are not surprising. Carmichael absolutely deserved to get to Canton based on merit, but he also happens to be just about the nicest guy in Philly.

Hearing him get the actual phone call is something else.

I’m so PROUD and HAPPY right now!!!! This man is so humble and kind. Not to mention he was one of if not the BEST WR to play during his era. Met #HaroldCarmichael in 1998 when I first arrived in Philadelphia. He’s been a big bro, mentor and most importantly a friend. @lookitin pic.twitter.com/lswq7QryGv
