Safety Leroy Butler
1990-2001 Green Bay Packers
Butler was a four-time Pro Bowler, a four-time All-Pro, he won a Super Bowl ring with the 1996 Packers, and over his career, he amassed 474 solo tackles that we know of (Pro Football Reference only has that statistic going back to the 1994 season) and 38 interceptions for 533 yards, 13 forced fumbles, 20.5 sacks, and he was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-1990s team.
Butler was technically more of a defined strong safety in his era, and that may lend him less statistical credence in an era when safeties are asked to do many more things. Still, Butler’s candidacy is legitimate, and he should hear his name called someday. This marked his first year as a finalist, and unless your career is an all-timer, getting in on the first ballot is nearly impossible.
