Wilforks problem is they have his position mislabeled. While he was a serviceable DT his primary position was nose tackle. This may seem small but it's significant because they have entirely different stat expectations. A nose isn't meant to rack up tackles or sacks, his job is to stuff up the center of the line and free up linebackers to make plays. Not only is he the best to ever do this, he did it while also having highlight reel plays like the butt fumble. Dude weighed close to 400 lbs and could dunk. It is a crime he wasn't put in on the first ballet and unforgivable that we are on year four waiting for that call

Man, Peppers was so good. A total force. 6’7, 300 lbs. Just an absolute monster of a human being.

I'm still unreasonably upset that Hester isn't in already.

Time for Willis to go in.

How about no

I'm 31 and it's weird seeing all these guys I grew up watching

I'd love to see Fletch make it. And it's criminal that Torry Holt isn't in.

Devin Hester on this list

Has to be Andre’s year this time 🤞🤞

Fred Taylor is gonna be on this list for the rest of time.

No way James Harrison gets jn

Gimme 1st ballot Peppers 🙏

Torry Holt's duration as a Pro Football HoF semi-finalist is now longer than his NFL career.

Peppers and Gates are locks, and this feels like the year for Willis to finally get in. After those 3, I think they'll be discussions about a lot of Wide Receivers right on the bubble.

This is r/nfl. Why is a basketball player the main image for this article.

What does everyone think on Steve McMichael? I am so conflicted, I have been following his social media run by his wife, they want him in so bad, let's be real, I don't know that Steve is here in another year to see it, this has to be his year, but I don't know that his numbers are good enough to make it. Emotionally I want it but realistically I don't know that it happens.

I hope dirty ass Hines Ward never sniffs the hall. But there are some very deserving names on that list.

It’s time for Darren Woodson. 8th time as a semifinalist but feel that he’s got a legit shot this year

I hope Reggie Wayne gets in. Watching Peyton Manning pass too Marvin Harrison and him growing up was a big part of my childhood. That was a great WR duo.

Looking through it, this is the first time in a long time where there aren't many names that immediately jump out above the rest. Peppers and Gates definitely belong in as First Ballot, but otherwise, I'm not sure there are any locks. I'm sure at least one of those WRs finally breaks through with Steve Smith being the best of the group.

Oh this forms the nucleus of players I grew up watching. Man.

A ranking of the semifinalists by PFR's HOF Monitor, which estimates the strength of a player's chances of eventually being a HOF inductee:

Peppers, Gates, Wayne, Holt, and Jared Allen is my prediction for the final class

Torry Holt still not being in is wild, man. Hope this is his year.

Peppers and Gates are easy ones, then there's some backlog clearing. Those two, Holt, Wayne, and Jahri Evans. Evans was a monster for a stretch and there just aren't enough interior linemen in the HOF.

This means that notable snubs include Kevin Williams, Haloti Ngata, Jeff Saturday and Shane Lechler

Freddy T!

Big Vince should be in. I argue best at his position while he played.

I dont get how Steve Smith Sr isn't in yet

John Lynch being in over Darren Woodson such old boys club BS.

Julius Peppers

Antonio Gates

Patrick Willis

Torry Holt

Darren Woodson

I am once again asking for the voters to put in Jahri Evans. I get he was a guard, but that guy was dominant. Should get his love even for a non glamorous position

What a terrible year for the HOF.

They really need to do away with the rule that they have to induct at least 5 guys every year.

If Hines Ward makes it in before Kevin Williams I might just stop watching football.

Wish Lorenzo Neal would make it one day. Last true FB that was pivotal in LT's success. Loved watching him run and instead of juking would just choose someone to light up.
