Welcome to a very special episode of NFL Total Access The Podcast. I am your host, NFL Senior Writer, Andrew Lavey, and today, we have the legendary LaDainian Tomlinson joining us for a truly unforgettable experience. In honor of the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend, we've prepared "21 for 21," 21 minutes (and 21 seconds) with the man who wore the #21 jersey all the way to the Hall of Fame.

As we approach this momentous weekend, LaDainian Tomlinson is the perfect host to prepare us for the most special event on the NFL calendar. He shares the fascinating story behind sitting for the now permanent bronze bust, a symbol of football immortality.

Delving into the elite Hall of Fame fraternity, Tomlinson gives us a glimpse into what happens to the fierce on-field battles and rivalries when former enemies become lifelong brothers. Discover the unique camaraderie that defines this exceptional group of athletes.

One of the most special moments during Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend is the Friday Gold Jacket dinner. Tomlinson shares why this event holds immense significance and whether the flow of alcohol inspires the flow of tears.

As we look forward to the induction speeches on Saturday, LaDainian Tomlinson previews what we can expect from this year's class and who is most likely to make us laugh and make us cry. He also recalls the one person he wishes he had thanked in his now-famous oration during his own induction.

In a heartwarming gesture, Tomlinson predicts the three current players he believes will one day join him in Canton, immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
