Yesterday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's selection committee unveiled its list of finalists for potential enshrinement later this year. The 15 modern era players are joined by two senior finalists – players whose careers ended more than 25 years ago –, who are also up for vote to become members of the 2018 Hall of Fame class.
All of the 17 candidates have had great careers and are deserving of Hall of Fame consideration. And so would be a former member of the Boston Patriots, who once again has been left out of the enshrinement-discussion: Gino Cappelletti.
