Honestly, I didn't think he'd get in as he was never flashy or "the guy". He was a great player for the Pack, and made many big plays for a long time when they were needed, just not a well known guy for fans of other teams or a media darling. I believe it was deserved, but didn't think it would happen for him.

Props to him....

Overdue for both him and Boselli IMO

Happy for Butler... thought he had better chance this year as no real big names... but still thought 50/50 shot at best.

Was at his Lambeau Leap game, but opposite end zone so he ran away from me.

He is first Packer drafted to make HOF since Lofton... Rodgers most likely the next.

Butler was a really good player but Joey Browner > LeRoy Butler

Surprised Browner does not garner more attention for HOF... haunted the Packers for many years.

Read that there are only 29 defensive players in NFL HOF without ring, so that is definitely working against him. Also safety position was very much neglected by HOF for many years, personally I think he gets in some day most likely as senior.
