Richard Seymour was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, putting a cap on a stellar NFL career that saw him play for the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders.

Seymour was the No. 6 overall pick of New England in 2001. He turned into a three-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler during his career. He was on three Super Bowl-winning teams with the Patriots, finishing with 57.5 sacks and 498 total tackles.

In his speech, Seymour thanked New England team owner Robert Kraft and longtime NFL head coach Bill Belichick. He poked a little fun at Tom Brady – who was selected a year before him.

"We had a young quarterback, but we made it work," Seymour said.

Despite the accolades and achievements, he said he was coached up never to look at stats.

"We’d have a saying with the Patriots that stats can be for losers," the former defensive lineman said. "I was asked to do selfless things."

Seymour said he believed the first three Super Bowls of the Patriots' dynasty were defensive-led teams. Seymour was a rookie in 2001 when the team won their first title. Lawyer Milloy, Roman Phifer, Tedy Bruschi and Ty Law led that team on the defensive side.
