Packers legend LeRoy Butler waited far too long to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. After two decades, Butler was selected for induction into Canton. The video of Charles Woodson showing up at his front door to tell him the news went viral on social media.
Butler has made one final decision regarding his induction ceremony: who will speak for him when he is inducted. He revealed his choice on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.
Butler has turned to his wife and Gilbert Brown to be his induction speakers.
Butler and the rest of the Hall of Fame Class of 2022 will be enshrined on August 6, 2022. The rest of the class includes Tom Boselli, Cliff Branch, Art McNally, Sam Mills, Richard Seymour, Dick Vermeil and Bryant Young.
Prior to the ceremony, the Hall of Fame Game will be played in Canton at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders. Tom Boselli played his Hall of Fame career with the Jaguars while Cliff Branch and Richard Seymour played for the Raiders.
