Michael Strahan is looking back on his former life as a celebrated member of the NFL with his latest accomplishment, and happened to have his family by his side for it.
The 52-year-old TV anchor, before joining Live! and Good Morning America , was a professional football player, playing defensive end for the New York Giants after a renowned career as a college player .
Michael played defensive end at Texas Southern University between 1989 and 1993 , following in the footsteps of his uncle Art Strahan, a former NFL defensive lineman who also played with TSU Tigers.
In fact, he was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame in 2014 and was drafted by the Giants almost immediately after his graduation.
And now, Michael is returning to his old haunt, having been honored over the weekend by being inducted into the Texas Southern University Sports Hall of Fame, and he was joined by none other than his mom Louise.
Michael posted some glimpses from the ceremony on social media , which included a pre-recorded video message, and attended the event in downtown Houston, also sharing photos with his mom beside him.
