GREEN BAY, Wis. – Four former Green Bay Packers starters are among the 122 modern-era nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022.
The headliner, of course, is former safety LeRoy Butler, a finalist the past two seasons. Also on the ballot is receiver Donald Driver, safety Nick Collins and kicker Ryan Longwell.
With a relatively weak list of first-time candidates, Butler is a favorite for induction this time. Hall of Fame voters have taken a renewed interest in the safety position. Before 2017, only seven pure safeties were enshrined in Canton.
