Tom Brady Congratulates Richard Seymour On Patriots Hall Of Fame Selection

After coming up short the past three years, Richard Seymour finally earned his long-awaited red jacket.

The New England Patriots on Monday announced Seymour as the newest member of the franchise’s Hall of Fame. It’s a well-deserved honor for the former defensive lineman, who was a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams in Foxboro, where he was named to five Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pro squads.

Shortly after the news of Seymour’s selection broke, Bill Belichick released a praise-filled statement in honor of New England’s top pick from 2001. The Patriots promptly shared Belichick’s message to their official Instagram page, which elicited a salute from Tom Brady.

Brady, of course, will one day join Seymour in the Patriots Hall of Fame. It’s anyone’s guess when, however, as it’s become near-impossible to project when the star signal-caller might call it a career.
