    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.

      Why would Willis get in over London Fletcher?

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

      Same with Hester. I’d love to see them both get in. It’s the Pro Football HoF, not the skill position and edge rusher hall of fame.

        The HOF hasn’t figured out what to do with special teamers. It’s a weird situation.

          I always hated the HOF perspective on that. It’s 33% of the game, and you’re going to tell me that just because the player may not have “excelled” at a skilled position that they didn’t do enough? A kicker, punter and long snapper all have one job and they command roster spots for that reason. Why are returners looked over unless they did things in addition to the return game?

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

      Fletcher should have had a silly dance when he came onto the field.

      Two incredibly underrated players. Holt not making it really boggles my mind considering that he was a large part of one of the most impressive offenses in league history.

      Fletcher would have been a first ballot guy if he was on successful teams. Sure as shit wasn’t his fault he wasn’t on any great teams. Sideline to sideline

      This time definitely not, but history suggests any player who is a semi-finalist on their first ballot is pretty likely to get in the HOF eventually & he was a semi-finalist last year.

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

    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.

      He is deserving but Holt and Wayne are gonna be in line before him. He will get in eventually but it might take another 3-4 years.

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