The wait is over for Richard Seymour.
The former Lower Richland High School standout will be part of this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame class, which was announced Thursday night as part of the NFL Honors program.
The rest of this year’s induction class includes Tony Boselli, Cliff Branch, LeRoy Butler, referee Art McNally, Sam Mills, coach Dick Vermeil and Bryant Young.
Seymour, a former defensive lineman for the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders, has been a finalist for the past four years.
Seymour was a first-round draft pick by the New England Patriots coming out of Georgia in 2001.
