Later today, the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2019 will be announced as part of the NFL’s Honors ceremony. Among the 18 nominees — 15 modern era players, two contributors, one senior nominee — to potentially get inshrined are also two former members of the New England Patriots. Cornerback Ty Law is in the final round for the third time, while defensive tackle Richard Seymour is a first-time finalist.
The two pillars of the Patriots’ early dynasty have an impressive résumé of individual accolades and team success, but still face a tough challenge to get one of the coveted golden jackets.
