Clayborn Gets The Call

It was great to see former CB Raymond Clayborn get elected to the Pats Hall of Fame. He had been nominated in recent years, but always lost out to players from the Belichick/Parcells era. His competition this year was Mike Vrabel and Richard Seymour.

Clayborn was a first round pick out of Texas in 1977. He played 13 seasons with the Pats from 1977-1989. He shares the team record of 36 career interceptions with Ty Law. He made the Pro Bowl in 1983, 1985 and 1986.

There are a number of outstanding players from the era prior to the Kraft family ownership. It's good to see one of the best finally recognized.
