Former Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour selected to Pro Football Hall of Fame

The 2022 Pro Football Hall of Fame class has been announced and a former member of the New England Patriots has finally made the cut: in his fourth year as a finalist, Richard Seymour finally got over the hump and will officially be enshrined in August.

Seymour joined the Patriots as the 6th overall draft pick in 2001 and quickly grew into one of the NFL’s best and most dominant defensive lineman. As such, he became a cornerstone of New England’s early dynasty teams and helped the Patriots win their first three Super Bowls.
