Does Rodney get in this year? The only thing holding him back is his reputation imo. He has all the stats you could ask for to make it in
Harrisons pass coverage numbers and low number of accolades are probably holding him back more than his rep. There's a lot of competition among defensive backs, and there are a few with stronger resumes at safety who haven't made it in yet.
Is the Pro Football Hall of fame ever gonna accept that it’s a passing league in the last 25 years
Torry Holy, Reggie Wayne, Steve Smith, and Andre Johnson all should’ve been in over Edgerrin James
Running backs have shorter shelf lives and edgerinn at his peak was better than all of them. Edge at his peak was doing shit only like a handful of running backs ever did

If Devin Hester and Patrick Willis don’t get in, we riot
Jahri Evans won’t get in this year, but he better get in eventually. Most dominant guard of his era and helped keep Brees clean for some of the most explosive offensive seasons of all time. He’s got the accolades and the metrics for the HOF.
Gates has got to get in. You don’t have the modern TE without Gates and Tony G
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:
-
Julius Peppers- He's gonna be first ballot.
-
Antonio Gates- If he's not first ballot, what are we doing?
-
Torry Holt- He's been a semifinalist ten times, just let him in already!
-
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.
-
Steve Smith- Probably should have been first ballot last year.
-
Fred Taylor- He's the best eligible RB not in the Hall, and Canton doesn't have to worry about the salary cap.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
Reggie Wayne needs to get in before Smith or Ward and Andre Johnson should be over Hines Ward as well.
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.
Kickoffs are dead now... Devin Hester better make it or I'm gonna riot!
~~Zach Thomas fucking snubbed again, this is a disgrace~~
Sorry, forgot I had this scheduled to post. As you were.
