A key member of the New England Patriots championship teams in the early 2000s made notable progress in his quest for what would be a well-deserved call to the Hall.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its finalists for its 2022 Class of inductees on Thursday. Former Patriots defensive tackle Richard Seymour was among the prestigious list of 15; earning a spot among the finalists for the fourth straight year.
Seymour has long been regarded as a strong candidate for enshrinement. He is deservingly regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in Patriots’ history. During his career, he was also considered one of, if not the best, defensive lineman in the NFL.
