MIAMI (AP) — There are
11 pure safeties in the Pro Associated Press
Football Hall of Fame. Four Page 20
more are seeking to join
them when the Class of
2020 is selected Saturday.
John Lynch, now the gen-
eral manager of the 49ers
who will play the Chiefs in
Sunday's Super Bowl, is up
for the seventh time.
Steve Atwater is a finalist for
the third time. LeRoy Butler
and first-year eligible Troy
Polamalu complete the
quartet of safeties among
the 15 final candidates.
"The Hall of Fame would be
unbelievable. I'm humbled
every year," Lynch says.
"I've been a finalist seven
times now. I don't know if
it will necessarily change
my life. I've been pretty
blessed with my family,
what I've been able to do
in football.”
