Saints: Change in New Orleans
Sam Mills went to Canton
The leader of the Dome Patrol would eventually be installed in the canton. Sam Mills leads the best linebacker corps to ever battle on the gridiron. Last night, his teammate Ricky Jackson welcomed Mills into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the 11th edition of the NFL Honors event held in Los Angeles. I saw Mills, Jackson, Pat Swilling, and Vaughan Johnson - The Dome Patrol - protesting crimes en route to the four visits of the Saints.
Mills largely deserved to be inducted into the hallowed hall of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The 5-9 and 229-pound competitor overcame enormous odds before, during, and after playing professional football. It is only fitting that in his final stance, journalist Jeff Duncan would finally convince his fellow Hall voters that Sam Mills' candidacy should be recognized to be immortalized as one of the greatest football players of all time.
