The New England Patriots—no stranger to legends—and team owner Robert Kraft announced on Tuesday morning that former head coach Bill Parcells will be inducted as a contributor into the team's Hall of Fame.
"I called Bill Parcells and I asked him if he would be kind enough to accept going into our Patriot Hall of Fame," Kraft told reporters at the NFL's annual meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. "He had been a finalist for five years ... while both of us are alive, I thought it would be great—given what he's done for the team—that he would accept entry as a contributor into the Patriots Hall of Fame, and he accepted."
