NFL Star Turned Poker Player Richard Seymour Finally Voted into Pro Football Hall of Fame

Richard Seymour, an avid poker player who was a catalyst on three New England Patriots championship teams, was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio this summer.

The former Georgia Bulldogs college All-American spent 12 seasons in the NFL, eight with the Patriots and four with the Oakland Raiders. Upon retiring in 2012, he took up poker as a hobby, and he's proven that he's no slouch on the felt.

"Big Sey" has $645,000 in live tournament cashes, according to the Hendon Mob database.
