CANTON - Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler wasn't an instant pick. Years passed. Time moved on. The glories of the past faded further into memory with each passing moment. Until Saturday. The well-earned moment finally arrived for Butler on Saturday when he was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It was a long journey that Butler reflected on early in his speech at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
"When you make to the Green Bay Packers, some doors open up," Butler said.
