Former Georgia DL Richard Seymour played 12 years in the NFL — 8 with the New England Patriots and 4 with the Oakland Raiders.
He excelled with the Pats, winning 3 Super Bowls with the team during his time there. He recorded 359 tackles and 39 sacks with the Patriots.
Now, according to a release from Georgia, he has been voted into the Patriots’ Hall of Fame:
“Richard Seymour laid the foundation for a defense that helped propel the Patriots to three Super Bowl championships in his first four seasons in the NFL,” said Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft. “Richard was the consummate professional and leader, always accepting the roles he was assigned, putting team goals ahead of personal ones, and in turn, raising the game of everyone around him. Yet as great as he was as a player, he is a Hall of Fame-caliber person, as well. I couldn’t be happier for Richard and the Seymour family, and I am looking forward to celebrating with them as Richard takes his rightful place in the Patriots Hall of Fame and very soon the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.”
Kraft says Seymour will soon be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Based on his resume, it’s hard to argue with Seymour’s Canton credentials.
