  Surprised that Bennett only made it to the semi-finals just once while modern era eligible...Now that he goes into the senior pool, I don't think he get's in.

  Already hard to imagine a candidate class where he wouldn't deserve to go in 1st ballot. Can he get that elusive Super Bowl ring before it's all said and done?
