Law is a semifinalist for the third straight season. He has an uphill battle of reaching the finals, but it’s good that he’s remaining in consideration. I think he would have a difficult time making it over the likes of WR Terrell Owens, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, and RB Edgerrin James.
Law was a 2x First Team All Pro, 3x Super Bowl champion, and he was named 2nd Team All 2000s at cornerback. Law is tied with Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders with 53 career interceptions.
Best of luck to Law.
