I voted No. At least half of his Pro bowl appearances were based strictly on reputation.
I screwed up my pick. The title of this thread and the actual poll question are different. I don't think Seymour is a lock to make the HOF, but I think he will probably make the HOF.

I assume a lot of people voted no by accident simply due to No being first option....
No, I voted NO, because the question is will he be a lock. I don't think you can say he's a lock, when you look at DE/DTs over the last 50 years. People on this board tend to forget there were Patriot players before 2001
Let us take a walk down Pats lane, shall we?
First, lets start with Seymours stats. We'll keep with the basics, because thats all anybody ever pays attention to anyway.
Richard Seymour: Career Stats
111 games
357 tackles/ 223 solo tackles
39 sacks
24 pass defensed
2 interceptions
Now, lets look at some past Patriots;
Garin Veris- played in only 88 games, starting half of them, and yet still had 36 sacks
Brent Williams- played in 121 games and had 43.5 sacks and 430 tackles
Julius Adams- sacks were not recorded for most of his years. But he had 19 sacks over the last 4 years of his 16 total years that he played for the Pats. I can't find any other stats on him at this time, but i can tell you, he's beyond Seymour.
Its too bad they didnt keep track of the stats back in the 60's, and 70's, the way they do now.
IF, Seymour was up for consideration for the Pats HOF, he's going to be in a waiting line.
Hey guys, it's my first post.
Anyway, you make some good points. Big Sey just might have to wait a while.
