The Patriots are putting on a full-court press on behalf of Richard Seymour’s candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and Andre Tippett have written letters of recommendation on behalf of Seymour.
Seymour, who is in his second straight year as a finalist, will learn his fate Saturday when the selection committee meets, with the announcement of the Class of 2020 following. But if the words from titans such as Belichick, Brady, and Tippett mean anything, Seymour has to feel pretty good about his chances.
Even though the two had an occasionally contentious relationship, Belichick wrote in support of Seymour’s candidacy for a second straight year, and the Patriots’ coach was effusive in his praise, calling Seymour and Vince Wilfork the two best defensive linemen he’s ever coached.
