When Richard Seymour found out he was a Pro Football Hall of Famer, it was one of his former New England Patriots teammates delivering him the news.
Fellow Canton inductee Ty Law traveled to Seymour's home in Atlanta, Ga. days before the Class of 2022 was officially announced.
"You know why I'm here," Law told a tearful Seymour while donning his gold jacket. "It's my honor and privilege to welcome you, my brother, to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2022. Welcome to Canton."
