Patriots legend Richard Seymour named Hall of Fame finalist for 4th straight year

Maybe, just maybe this is the year for the Patriots legendary defensive lineman.

New England Patriots legendary defensive lineman Richard Seymour was named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Seymour has now been named a finalist for the fourth straight year, with hopes of finally cementing his spot among the NFL greats. He was drafted No. 6 overall by the Patriots in 2001 and he helped pave the way to three Super Bowl victories — along with six AFC East titles and three AFC titles.

He was selected to five consecutive Pro Bowls (8 total) with the Patriots and he earned three consecutive First-Team All-Pro nods. Bill Belichick considered Seymour and Vince Wilfork as the two best defensive lineman he’s ever coached.

Maybe, just maybe this the year Seymour makes it.
