Long-time Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler wasn’t voted in as one of the five modern era members of the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Safety Troy Polamalu, running back Edgerrin James, safety Steve Atwater, receiver Isaac Bruce and offensive guard Steve Hutchinson were elected by voters.
Butler was a first-time finalist for the Hall of Fame in 2020. He is a four-time All-Pro and a member of the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade team. He played 12 seasons in Green Bay and participated in two Super Bowls, including a win in Super Bowl XXXI.
With Atwater’s induction, Butler is now the only player from the 1990’s All-Decade team not in the Hall of Fame.
Butler still has a strong case for induction into the Hall. Despite missing out on the 2020 class, Butler will likely continue to be a finalist in future years.
