The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their most recent list of finalists. Georgia Bulldog and New England Patriots legend Richard Seymour is among the most recent finalists.
The Patriots drafted Seymour sixth overall in the 2001 NFL Draft and they weren’t disappointed. Seymour went on to win three Super Bowls (all in New England) and make five All-Pro teams. Seymour played eight seasons in New England and then four seasons for the Oakland Raiders.
He finished his career with 57.5 sacks as a defensive tackle. He recorded 496 tackles in his twelve season career.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter Tweeted the full list of finalists:

UGA legend Champ Bailey is the latest Dawg to make the Hall of Fame. Bailey was inducted last summer. Will Seymour be the latest Georgia Bulldog to receive his bust in Canton?
The 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame class was: Tony Gonzalez, Ed Reed, Champ Bailey, Ty Law, Kevin Mawae, (Team Owner) Pat Bowlen, (VP Player Personnel) Gil Brandt, and Johnny Robinson. If six finalists are selected again, then Seymour has a legitimate chance to be among this historic group in 2020.
