""I'm sure Bill will get in," Vrabel shared Thursday. "Again, that's something that's well out of my control, and I know that the time here with Bill was eight great years, and the teammates and everybody else that we had. I'm sure that Bill will get into Canton.""
"Despite playing a central role in eight total Super Bowl titles between the Giants and Patriots, Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction and was informed last Friday by a Hall representative that he didn't make the cut. Belichick's denial by the 50-person voting committee - whose votes are not made public - has led to a spirited response from across the sports world."
""I think the record speaks for itself," Vrabel said of Belichick."
Bill Belichick did not receive the 40 of 50 votes required for first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame induction and was notified he did not make the cut. The 50-person voting committee's ballots are not public, and the decision generated strong reactions from former Patriots, owner Robert Kraft, and other sports figures. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expressed surprise but said he is confident Belichick will eventually be inducted. Vrabel noted eight years spent under Belichick, three Super Bowl wins as a player, and credited Belichick's preparation for postseason success.
