It what came as no big surprise, it was announced on Saturday night that former Vikings guard Steve Hutchinson will be part of the 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Other modern-day inductees will be safety Steve Atwater, wide receiver Isaac Bruce, running back Edgerrin James and safety Troy Polamalu.
Hutchinson played in the league from 2001-2012. He played five seasons with the Seahawks, six with the Vikings and his final season with the Titans. Hutchinson was named to the NFL’s Team of the Decade for the 2000s.
He made seven Pro Bowls (four with the Vikings) and four All-Pro teams (three with the Vikings).
This was Hutchinson’s third time being eligible to be elected into the Hall.
The enshrinement ceremony for Hutchinson and others will be on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020 from Canton, Ohio at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. That will air on NFL Network and ESPN.
