Seau, who played 20 seasons as one of the NFL's best linebackers, shot and killed himself. Doctors later diagnosed Seau with traumatic brain injury they believed attributable to playing football, particularly to hits to his head.
In a statement from Hall executive vice president Joe Horrigan, a 2010 policy was referenced Friday.
Citing previous policies on posthumous inductions,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, the Hall is limiting Sydney Seau's comments to a video presentation about the former linebacker who killed himself in 2012. Seau is one of seven men being inducted this year.
