As you know, we are going to be launching in the summer of this year a look (and ranking) of the major North American Sports and their post career accolades. This means retired numbers and respective Halls of Fame if applicable. As such, we thought it was pertinent to mention that the New England Patriots Hall of Fame have announced three Finalists for their 2014 Class.
The first is recent Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Bill Parcells. Parcells, returned to Head Coaching after a two year hiatus in 1993 and in his second season took the Patriots to their first playoff season in eight years. He was there for four seasons, the last of which, he had his team advance to the Super Bowl, though the Green Bay Packers defeated them.
The second is Ty Law, who was with the Patriots from 1995 to 2004 and was a three time Super Bowl Champion. Law earned four Pro Bowl and one First Team All Pro Selections as a member of the New England Patriots and led the NFL in Interceptions in 1998.
The third is Raymond Clayborn, a Cornerback who played for the Pats from 1977 to 1989. Clayborn had 36 Interceptions and was selected for three Pro Bowls.
The Patriots Hall of Fame first took place in 1991 and currently has their own facility. Their Hall of Fame is a representation of what other NFL teams and for that matter other North American Sports Teams should look at. Fans will determine the next inductee via their voting, which will take place between now and May 15.
