It's not as if Richard Seymour had to wait forever to get in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is two years younger than a former teammate who is still playing.
But if you ask that former teammate, Tom Brady, a five-year sit for a defensive lineman of this fellow's grade is exorbitant.
At least, Brady conveyed as much in this Tweet on Jan. 19, 2021:
"I would love to see Richard Seymour inducted into the Pro Football HOF. Not only was he a dominant player but a team-first, selfless player who played championship football each and every week.
