"Hello Andre! Congratulations on this big day for you and all Bills fans around the world. I can't believe the voters took this long to come into senses, but they finally did and that's what counts. Thank you for your effort on the field and for all those great memories. Can't believe I'm writing this with teary eyes lol. One of the reasons I started to learn English is because I wanted to be able to read the information on the trading cards I used to collect back when I was a child, and of course most of the cards were of Buffalo Bills players. So in a way you were a motivation to set new goals for my person and I also thank you for that. Regards from Mexico!" –Hector Berrones

"You continue to make me proud to be a Buffalonian! Thank you, and congratulations to you and your family!" -Lisa Treanor

"Andre, As a service member I've watched the Bills on 3 different continents and in 6 different countries. As a kid growing up in Ellicottville, I never missed a chance to watch you catch TDs from Jim... loved every minute of it. For years and in many different places I've scratched my head and felt my heart sink in my chest every time they passed you over despite being one of the primary reasons the team went to 4 straight Super Bowls. Congratulations!!! Took way too long but so many of us are so happy and proud of you... as we have been for many years." –Matt Calarco

Thank you and Congrats!! Its about time!!" –Patrick Rogers

You have always been number one in my heart. Now I just have to figure out how to get to Canton on August 2!!" –Joni Bartell

"My man Andre!! Congratulations on being enshrined to Canton! Well deserved. I didn't get the privilege to watch you growing up but I have watched old tapes of the Bills' glory days in the early 90's. You were a huge part of those teams and it's been a long time coming that you make it to the Hall Of Fame! I can't wait to hear your speech and the big smile you will have when the moment comes when they announce your name as a new Hall Of Fame member. Go Bills and God Bless." –Matt Poulton

You guys always handled yourselves with class. I knew it would be only time that you would be inducted into the HOF because of all of your accomplishments. We even shared the voting site to make sure you got recognized. What I'm trying to say is, you deserve all the praise and you have many fans across the country. Congratulations you deserve the HOF and everything that comes with it!" –Mary Dillon
