LeRoy Butler is one of the best players to don a Green Bay Packers uniform. He is part of the Packers’ greats in the last 50 years. Butler is not part of the Hall of the Fame yet. People have been trying to put him in for several years. With the NFL’s edition of the Modern-Era players to add an influx of talented players in the Hall of Fame, it seemed like a no-brainer Butler would get in. He hasn’t yet despite guys like Steve Atwater and John Lynch in there. Butler had a better career than both of those guys, yet, he is left out. Here’s the case being made by Pete Doughtery of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

The HOF Selection Committee is meeting virtually today to discuss the candidates for the #PFHOF21 Class.

The fact that he is the only member of the All-90s team that hasn’t found his way to the Hall of Fame is stunning. How can all of the other greats make the Hall of Fame and not Butler? Just because he isn’t a notable player in the league. My hope is that with Atwater getting in last year, this will be the year for Butler. Let’s hope that this is the year that LeRoy gets let in.
