NFL Pro Football HOF Class
With a rare lean toward defense, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2023 features two of the best cornerbacks in league history, one of the all-time sack leaders, and a linebacker who frustrated some of the game's best quarterbacks on his way to multiple 100-tackle seasons.
In 2021, three of the modern-era enshrinees were defensive players (LeRoy Butler, Richard Seymour, and Bryant Young) and the fourth defensive player in the class -- Sam Mills -- had been a seniors committee finalist.
