Last Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame revealed its full list of nominees for its Class of 2022.
The full roster of nominees consisted of 122 total players from the modern era, ten of which played multiple seasons with the New England Patriots.
One of those ten was linebacker Willie McGinest who played 12 of his 15 pro seasons in Foxboro before finishing his playing career with the Cleveland Browns. McGinest played a vital role on defense for the first three Patriots Super Bowl championships.
Over his career, McGinest logged 86 career sacks, 96 tackles for loss, 16 forced fumbles, and 5 interceptions.
