Richard Seymour is poised to take his rightful place in Canton, Ohio, but before he picks out his gold jacket, he’ll make a stop in Foxborough to be fitted for a red one.
Seymour became the 30th member of the Patriots Hall of Fame Monday morning, beating out fellow finalists Bill Parcells and Mike Vrabel in a vote by fans.
The finalists were chosen after a lively debate and discussion last month by the selection committee made up of media and team staff.
Seymour, who has been a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame the last two years, was the dominant defensive lineman of his era.
