Can't wait to hear the annual Reddit discourse of how most of these elite athletes in the upper 1% of all players who have ever gone pro don't even deserve to be considered for Canton.

Anywho, if I was on the committee and could vote for nine of these fellas, my votes would go:

  1. Julius Peppers- He's gonna be first ballot.

  2. Antonio Gates- If he's not first ballot, what are we doing?

  3. Torry Holt- He's been a semifinalist ten times, just let him in already!

  4. Darren Woodson- It's his last year of eligibility before going to the senior ballot, and he was such an important part of the Dallas dynasty.

  5. Steve Smith- Probably should have been first ballot last year.

  6. Fred Taylor- He's the best eligible RB not in the Hall, and Canton doesn't have to worry about the salary cap.

  7. Devin Hester- The Hall should recognize at least one player from every part of the game, and Hester is unquestionably the best returner we have/will ever see.

  8. James Harrison- He will not go into the Hall because he's an a-hole who pissed off too many people, but he was an absolute menace and is responsible for the most important play in Super Bowl history (sorry, David Tyree).

  9. Hines Ward- Also will not go in, and maybe shouldn't go in, but he's way higher on a lot of stat sheets than most seemingly want to acknowledge, has that Super Bowl MVP, and made the NFL change its blocking rules.

Fred Taylor is not the best eligible RB not in the HOF, he just has the most rushing yards of any RB not in the HOF. The two best eligible RB's, Shaun Alexander & Priest Holmes, aren't even on this list.

Reggie Wayne & Andre Johnson were both better than the three WR's you list.

James Harrison's INT was not the most important play in Super Bowl history. It is probably the best play, but definitely not the most important.

Reggie Wayne needs to get in before Smith or Ward and Andre Johnson should be over Hines Ward as well.
