Former defensive lineman Richard Seymour pealed the curtain back on his time with the New England Patriots during his enshrinement ceremony into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
The seven-time Pro Bowler, who spent eight seasons with the Patriots and won three Super Bowl titles with the organization, spoke glowingly about Bill Belichick and gave more insight into his first year with New England.
Despite being selected at No. 6 overall out of Georgia in the 2001 NFL Draft, it didn’t excuse Seymour from duties bestowed upon rookies by the team’s veterans, but the hulking lineman was still appreciative of getting to be surrounded by older players.
