CANTON, Ohio – There’s a new Georgia Bulldog on the hallowed grounds of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Richard Seymour, who played at the University of Georgia and was selected sixth overall by the New England Patriots in the 2001 NFL draft, became the fifth Bulldog enshrined.
“I am overwhelmed today with humility,” Seymour said early in his induction speech Saturday. “Not because of what this moment says about me, but what this moment says about ‘we’ and what we can do together. I’m overwhelmed today with gratitude because I didn’t get here alone. None of us did.”
