Steve Atwater is a finalist for the third time. LeRoy Butler and first-year eligible Troy Polamalu complete the quartet of safeties among the 15 final candidates.The Hall of Fame would be unbelievable. Im humbled every year,Lynch says. Ive been a finalist seven times now. I dont know if it will necessarily change my life. Ive been pretty blessed with my family, what Ive been able to do in football. Ive heard other people say that, and then they go in and say itlike happening. You never know until youre in there what it means to you. It would be tremendous https://www.packersfansapparel.com/Packers_Ray_Nitschke_Jersey-87. Id be incredibly humbled and honored. Hopefully this is the year on Saturday.Butler, who starred for the Packers from 1990-2001, has had the longest wait to get to this point.Butler won a Super Bowl for Green Bay, which had a quarterback named Brett Favre a first-ballot Hall of Famer leading the way.Favre is adamant about Butler also deserving enshrinement.LeRoy was as important to our Super Bowl win and success as any other player on our team,Favre says. I couldnt tell you the interceptions or tackles I know there were a lot but his leadership and playmaking ability were outstanding. He had a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Being around the ball.He wasnt the most athletic guy and that might surprise a lot of people, but he was so instinctive. He made the plays; some guys get in position and dont make the plays. He had a lot of charisma about him he was the first to jump into the stands. Thatno reason to put a guy into the Hall of Fame, but the career he had definitely is worthy Josiah Deguara Jersey.Atwater was one of the hardest hitters at the position, an intimidating figure against the run but also a force in pass coverage.

I feel like the closer we get to that day, the butterflies are going to start kicking in,Wayne said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. Im just enjoying the wave, excited to be in this position. I know being a receiver this isnt the easy lock-in spot for the Hall of Fame. But man for me to be in this position on my first ballot, words cant describe it.Wayne and Polamalu are the only first-year eligibles on the ballot Saturday.The five modern-day players elected will be inducted into the Canton, Ohio, shrine on Aug. 8. The Hall of Fame previously elected 15 members of a centennial class. They included coaches Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher; contributors Paul Tagliabue, the former NFL commissioner, Steve Sabol, who along with his father Ed already a Hall of Fame member created NFL Films, and George Young, who built the New York Giants championship teams in 1986 and 1990.Ten former players also were selected by the special centennial committee Dallas Cowboys safety Cliff Harris; Cleveland receiver Mac Speedie; Pittsburgh safety Donnie Shell; Green Bay safety Bobby Dillon; Detroit defensive tackle Alex Karras; Eagles wide receiver Harold Carmichael; offensive tackles Winston Hill of the Jets and Jim Covert of the Bears; linebacker defensive end Ed Sprinkle of the Bears; and Duke Slater, one of the NFL first black players https://www.packersfansapparel.com/Packers_Jordan_Jones_Jersey-182, an outstanding two-way player in the leagueearliest days.
