The New England Patriots’ Hall of Fame induction ceremony will look different this year. Not only has it been moved to October due to the Coronavirus, it also will see the first woman join the club of franchise legends: former cheerleading director Tracy Sormanti will be inducted today alongside defensive lineman Richard Seymour.
Richard Seymour
After already beating out fellow finalists Mike Vrabel and Bill Parcells in a fan vote last year, Richard Seymour will now finally take his rightful place among the Patriots’ franchise legends.
The franchise’s first-round selection in 2001, Seymour spent the first eight seasons of his 12-year career in New England and appeared in 126 games for the franchise before getting traded to the then-Oakland Raiders in 2009.
