Dominant in his era but Is he first ballot worthy? I give him a .500 shot of getting in. Look at upcoming eligible players for Hall of Fame. The Steelers prevailed in the NFL's fiercest modern-era rivalry, holding off the Ravens 28-24 to remain unbeaten -- and they did it without playing their best Sunday. Man he was a beast. One of the most dominant players at his position for 12 years. Tennessee is unbeaten. LOL, Make Peyton wait. Charles Woodson on first ballot. QB Peyton Manning Hester failed as a CB Jacoby owns 3 rings on 3 completely different Skins teams and was elite in the NFC for easily 10 years. Tennessee is unbeaten. I was wondering about that.

Actually, they should just replace Gene Upshaw, Lynn Swann, and Jack Lambert in the Hall since they don’t deserve inclusion. 2024: Gates, Gronk, Ngata (maybe), Peppers They're about to demonstrate why. DeMarcus Ware is the most qualified for the Class of 2022. You have to look at the overall strengths of the resume and see if it actually raises above the qualifiers. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the AFC have stormed the top of the weekly rankings with the Top 4 teams all from that conference. Six-time Pro Bowler. But if a players career stats are solid and all time, just because the teams they were on failed to have Tom Brady, it shouldn’t DQ them from the Hall. Hall of Very Good additions: 2021 – C. Johnson, Allen, Mankins; 2022 – A. Johnson, S. Smith, Ware; 2023 – Freeney, Bowman; 2024 – Peppers, Ngata; 2025 – No one else, yet. Ken Riley, the CB from the Bungles in the 70s and early 80s? Peyton Manning Was he also a HOF performer? Think I'll stop there. Charles Woodson. Two-time first-team All-Pro. There;s not many on these lists, honestly. I’d like to see Darren Woodson get in finally too. In 10 seasons, Gradishar missed out on the Pro Bowl just three times. But Jim Trotter says two young quarterbacks could spice up this year's proceedings. 49ers' playoff hopes bleak after injuries, Belichick uses cap space as excuse for Pats issues, Buccaneers survive scare from Giants on MNF, 49ers clear cap space with Alexander trade, Enter your zip code to find NBCSN near you. Five-time first-team All-Pro. Here is the list of first-year eligible candidates for the Hall of Fame as compiled by Clark Judge of the Talk of Fame Network: How could Mike Vick be even considered as worthy of the HOF? The Sheriff is getting in first time – and deservedly so. AT 7-0, Pittsburgh is off to its best start ever. For the first time in my life I actually agree with Deion Sanders, and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit; they do let too many people in the hall of fame. Also like Ware, Allen posted double-digit sack totals in eight of his first 10 seasons in the league. The "Orange Crush" allowed all of 10.6 points per game that 1977 season, followed by 12.4 the next. GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT. A player on a winning team doesn’t automatically make them better (and offensive player isn’t on defense, a receiver isn’t blocking on the OL). Hester was great as a SP teams returner but a bust as a receiver. Toughest decisions will be guys like Kyle Williams who played near a pro-bowl level their whole career but never received much fanfare. Hester failed as a WR …only 16 career TDs. I haven't. I agree. I think I should be added as a “special contributor”. Tennessee is unbeaten. Wait.. they are just resentful Pats fanboys. DE Julius Peppers But if you're looking for first-ballot possibilities, start with Luke Kuechly. He was really really good and dominant and was a true #1 in every sense. $29.99. I hope Kuechly will have "worse" company in 2025 and be elected, and that Willis and Zach Thomas have already been immortalized. QB Eli Manning. I know he won’t get in but SJ39 might have been the scariest running back of his generation. How is Drew Pearson and Ed “Too Tall”Jones not in? Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson and Calvin Johnson are among those eligible for the first time next year. Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson and Calvin Johnson are among those eligible … Former Rams' defensive tackle Larry Brooks was a star on an exceptional defense. February 6, 2020 at 8:13 pm Maybe Logan Mankins but I’m not sure how he compares with all-time OLs. There are so many. No one can name a famous play Bettis made other than choking at the goal line in Indy or just being durable and slightly above average for 12 years. Allen did play in a Super Bowl in his final stop, at Carolina, but by that time, the outdoorsmen was thinking about hanging 'em up. When you think of the '90s, you probably drift from Screech to Green Day to Bruce Willis drilling on an asteroid with an out-of-his-mind Steve Buscemi watching the end of the world. All I see here is people complaining that the Pro Football Hall of Fame is letting too many people in. When it comes to NFL trade deadlines, the reality of what transpires often fails to match the breathless speculation of what could be. Nowadays, if a running back approaches 20 carries in a game or 300 touches in a season, coaches worry about him wearing down. Not even close to HoF caliber career. Not a member? Not first ballot worthy. Though the Bucs might well be the best in the NFC, it's difficult not to think they're benefitting greatly from the company they keep in the conference, Jeffri Chadiha writes. But then his agent denied a report the former Miami star was retiring, saying that Wake "is playing this season, and we are actively engaged in conversations with teams.". Les Bingaman was once pro football's biggest man. Make that first-team All-Decade of the '70s, Cliff Harris. -- TE Vernon Davis (2006-19). Although Denver fell short that day, don't blame the defense. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are steaming toward a collision, ranking 1-2 this week in Rick Gosselin's NFL rankings. Two-time first-team All-Pro. I don’t get how this happens and how certain names become blackballed. If his CFL career is included, that takes him to 139-1/2 sacks -- or as many as former Dolphins’ standout Jason Taylor, a first-ballot choice in 2017. kcbosch says: Super Bowl champion (XLV) AT 7-0, Pittsburgh is off to its best start ever. DE Jared Allen. Weddle is next in line, and I’ll be honest: While he could/should be a finalist, I’m not sure he breaks through … and I mean ever. Those two developments should put the rest of the league on notice, Jim Trotter writes. Named an All-Pro in all but one of his eight NFL seasons – including five first-team inclusions -- he was also the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year and its Defensive Player of the Year. LB Luke Kuechly Two Pro Bowler. Is this the best version of Patrick Mahomes yet? NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (1998) It’s ridiculous. But if you're looking for first-ballot possibilities, start with Luke Kuechly. Can the Bills or Dolphins grab the torch in the AFC East? Jerome Bettis is in, so I guess anybody that was pretty good for a handful of years should be in, esp if you have street cred. Just saying. Shop this Item. Maybe Calvin johnson first ballot too. I could argue Matt Light should be in the HOF for 3 rings, 5 SB appearances and being the second best LT in the AFC for a decade behind Jonathan Ogden, fore example, protecting the greatest QB ever and his blindside, also part of the greatest offense ever in 2007. The only item missing? The Pittsburgh Steelers and the AFC have stormed the top of the weekly rankings with the Top 4 teams all from that conference. © 2020 NFL Enterprises LLC. Well, then we have a Class of 2022 that’s wide open, with DeMarcus Ware the most qualified of the first-year candidates, and that could be a clean-up year for finalists who couldn’t crack the upper echelon of 2021. How WRONG you all are. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Dates for future Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies include: 2021: Sunday, July 25 2022: Sunday, July 24 2023: Sunday, July 23. Super Bowl champion. He explained the game from a historical angle, using an artist's bent and storytelling worthy of legendary folk singers. Here are your options: Dwight Freeney, edge rusher. Calvin Johnson? However, Heath Miller will probably get elected because the HOF might be looking for another former Steeler to add to the ‘Steelers Who Do Not Belong in the HOF, But Are in the HOF’ wing; although that wing is already very crowded.. Peyton Manning & Charles Woodson for sure. Tied for 5th on all time INT list – only Rod Woodson had more in the modern era, @nflhistorybuff68 Hester was drafted as a CB – not a WR, He’s the best Special Teams player of all time – Definitely gonna be in HOF. Combine your love of grilling and the Browns with this NFL Player Apron from Party Animal! -- G Marshal Yanda (2007-19). When Johnson's name comes up in the voters' room in 2021, I can guarantee you there will be plenty of debate. Bettis is IN there, deal with it. -- LB Luke Kuechly (2012-19). Two-time Super Bowl champion. I’m not too familiar with Logan mankins. Granted, you can make an argument for guard Marshal Yanda, and I’ve heard a couple of Hall-of-Fame selectors voice support for Eli Manning as a first-ballot choice. Just let everybody in, why not. By the time all guys back out the 10th guy in line gets a Pro Bowl notch. All that aside, how do you quantify Sabol's influence on both the league and its fans? No one is saying nominate him for anything other kick returns, your argument is a moot point and you’re obviously bitter about Hester being the greatest return man ever. Why punish them for ending up on the Jets, the Lions, the Browns, the Raiders, the Bengals, the Jaguars, the Dolphins, the Ravens, etc? The contributor committee nominates a maximum of two candidates, although it alternates between one and two (after suggesting Jerry Jones and Paul Tagliabue in 2017, the group will only produce a single name in 2018). nflhistorybuff68 says: With Ware, you get all of those, plus two that are so important to the game today: consistency and class. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are steaming toward a collision, ranking 1-2 this week in Rick Gosselin's NFL rankings. Because he'll have to be considered as a contributor, Sabol's legacy will be compared with so many names -- with, unfortunately, so few spots to fill. He didn’t miss a game -- didn’t even mis a practice – in those first 10 seasons. All other NFL-related trademarks are trademarks of the National Football League. -- QB Eli Manning (2004-19). Maybe they should have a side wing for everyone else. Peanut should get some consideration as well. Lots o really good career type people like Revis, MAngold, Bowman, Chancellor, Lorenzo Alexander, Welker, Mayo, Ngata, Andre Johnson, etc, etc, but very few that changed the game over a period of time. They're about to demonstrate why. So are the Steelers. February 7, 2020 at 1:38 am In 2011, he almost set a new single-season record with 22 -- if only he'd had help from Brett Favre. Four-time Pro Bowler. Ware was always productive, never average, thus making him one of the most consistent pass rushers in NFL history. Elliot Harrison looks ahead and shares who he would put on his ballot for the next five classes of Hall of Famers. © Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Sabol made his life making the NFL ours. Charley Casserly provides scouting reports on eight notable players, including Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci, who could be set for bigger roles in Week 8.
