Former New England Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri shared his thoughts on being a finalist for the Patriots Hall of Fame.
The Patriots announced the legendary kicker as one of three finalists to be permanently enshrined. Former wide receiver Julian Edelman and offensive guard Logan Mankins are the other two candidates.
Vinatieri was one of the best kickers in NFL history. He holds the NFL record for most career points scored (2,673), most field goals made (599) and most postseason points scored (238).
He was also known for being the most clutch kicker in Patriots history. He had game-winning kicks in Super Bowl XXXVI and XXXVIII with the organization.
"I was very honored, obviously," Vinatieri said, via ESPN's Mike Reiss. "Lots of great players have come and gone through the Patriots organization. Dynasties were built and rebuilt. Just being recognized as one of the guys who helped lay down the foundation for the years to come is a surreal thing for me."
One would think Vinatieri, Edelman and Mankins will all get into the Patriots Hall of Fame at some point. All three were crucial to the greatest dynasty in NFL history and deserve their spot at Patriots Place.
