It's been a long time coming for Packers Safety Leroy Buter, but he is finally on the short list for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Butler is among 15 modern-era finalists for induction into the 2020 Hall of Fame class.

The four-time All-Pro safety was the only member of the 1990's all decade team that had not been a finalist for the Hall of Fame.

During his 12 season career with the Green and Gold, he recorded 38 interceptions and 20.5 sacks.

The inductees into the class of 2020 will be announced on Feb. 1 the day before the Super Bowl.
