Richard Seymour Is The Newest Member Of The Patriots Hall Of Fame



Richard Seymour has been selected as the newest member of the Patriots Hall of Fame by the fans. Seymour beat out fan-favorite Mike Vrabel and former head coach Bill Parcells who’s is likely forever in the doghouse with Pats fans after the way he left the team years ago.

Seymour was a major contributor to the Patriots first 3 Superbowl championship teams. He was named to five straight Pro Bowls with the Patriots (2002-06) and earned three straight first-team All-Pro honors (2003-05).

“Richard Seymour laid the foundation for a defense that helped propel the Patriots to three Super Bowl championships in his first four seasons in the NFL,” Robert Kraft said in a statement. “Richard was the consummate professional and leader, always accepting the roles he was assigned, putting team goals ahead of personal ones, and in turn, raising the game of everyone around him. Yet as great as he was as a player, he is a Hall of Fame-caliber person, as well. I couldn’t be happier for Richard and the Seymour family, and I am looking forward to celebrating with them as Richard takes his rightful place in the Patriots Hall of Fame and very soon the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.”
