Colts legend Edgerrin James is ready for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony was set to take place on Aug. 8, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced the NFL to push it back to August of 2021, so Indianapolis Colts legend Edgerrin James has to wait another year to be enshrined.

But perhaps the extra time is a blessing in disguise because the former running back now has a one-of-a-kind whip to ride in during the parade that weekend. We don’t know if this was ready a month and a half ago, but either way, James can now better plan for the moment.

This broke the hypothetical Swag Meter.

“From Gold Teeth to Gold Jacket.” Does that thing have hydraulics? James absolutely needs to be bouncing in that thing with music blasting. There’s no other way to capture the moment.

After all, when you were an All-Pro your rookie season and led the NFL with 1,553 rushing yards in succeeding Marshall Faulk, you gotta prove you’re still a baller even at the age of 42. Who are we kidding — James attended “The U” in its heyday. He’s still got it.

Colts fans truly cannot wait until this glorious day. James will be the first Colt inducted into the Hall of Fame since Marvin Harrison in 2016.

And the present isn’t looking too bad, either! With rookies Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr. and Julian Blackmon already bursting onto the scene, fans can enjoy the past and present of this team for the foreseeable future since we can expect Peyton Manning to get his HOF nod too long from now.

What’s next? Hopefully James gets honored by the Colts during halftime of a primetime game in 2021 and get gets to drive this thing onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium.
