  Crazy how he had an injury-shortened career, and he's still 2nd all-time in Tackles for Loss.

  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.

About Khalil Mack, Ray wrote:
  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?

About Derrick Henry, bojack norseman wrote:
  You could make a Derrick Henry Hall of Fame caliber career highlight reel from just the plays that were called back because of penalty. His intangibles will get him a gold jacket even if he never takes another snap (#20 all time rushing yards as of posting).

1.) Team First: blocking assignments, grinding for 1st downs, effort plays, all credit to the team, places no value in individual accolades. Comparison: Barry Sanders
2.) Top 5 All Time Stiff Arms: Dickerson, Lynch, Payton, Henry, Campbell
3.) Top 10 All Time Individual Run: 99 yards (12/6/18) vs. Jaguars - 81 yards after contact, multiple stiff arms, 18 seconds of game time
4.) 2,000 Yard Season Club (2020) (2,027 yds): 1 of 8 players as of posting (Saquon Barkley likely to join - 1,838 yds w/ 2 games to go in 2024 season) - 7 of those 8 backs hit the mark in 16 game seasons (O.J. Simpson took only 14 games) and with the NFL moving to a 17 game season in 2021 all future additions will have an asterisk.

Derrick Henry is the most dominant running back of his generation and compares favorably to the most dominant back of any generation despite being firmly entrenched in an era defined by the rapid evolution of the pass and a shift to running-back-by-committee. With a maximum of 8 new inductees per year there is a significant back log for Hall of Fame eligible players and a great many deserve to be enshrined that have not yet been - it is difficult to predict 8-10 years from now which players the voters will have to choose between but you can be certain that upon receiving his gold jacket King Henry, in his speech, will credit the lineman who blocked for him, his coaches, his family, friends, and fans. It will be short - much shorter than this post - so that the next guys up have enough time to talk.

About Troy Aikman, Ray wrote:
  Bro...not sure that I would've put Aikman in, either, but Aikman has a lot more going for him than Manning. Just look at the leaderboards. Ex: 6 years Top 10 in Passer Rating for Aikman, but only once for Manning. Manning's most prominent place on the leaderboards is clearly his passes intercepted, where he finished in the Top 10 11 times and led the league 3 years. Aikman was debatable, but Manning simply isn't a HoFer. Great for the NYG that he was able to step up in those two Super Bowls, though.

  Hank "Stram"? Never heard of him, certainly not in pro football. Could you be thinking Hank SCHRAMM, who coached the Chiefs to Super Bowl 4 victory over the Vikings? Under "Football Legends" it helps your credibility to spell names correctly. What's with the letter for security? You don't have the right ones in the guy's name! Ha!

About the eligibility class of 2026, Thomas Economous wrote:
  The ratings seem really flawed in my opinion. Players like Todd Gurley have no chance of being in the HOF. #102 in rushing yards. He shouldn't even be mentioned in this list. Philip Rivers #6 all time in passing yards and #6 all time in passing TDs should be near the top.

About Seth Joyner, RON RANIERI wrote:
  Was a season ticket holder during Mr Joyners Philly years, he never got the love he deserved. Philly had a great defense in this era, but watch tape and check his stats. one of the strongest and meanest linebacker to play pro football. If he played for the cowboys he would be an all time great. I implore to watch his tape.

About Walter Jones, Tyler wrote:
  Walter's dominated from day one at a position he only played for 1 year at the college level. Despite playing for mostly poor teams in the golden era of HOF LT's Ogden, Pace & Roaf he still collected 6 AP's & had fewer holding penalties (8) than years played (12). An average of 1 holding penalty every 634 pass attempts. Such was his dominance that Shaun Alexander remains the only member of the NFL 100 TD club that isn't in the HOF (or likely ever to be) because despite being an offensive MVP, his performance is discounted as a product of running behind Jones & Hutchinson.

  He's an exception to the rule! Considering his durability & duration of playing a skill position after two separate major knee surgeries & still able to garner 11 seasons in NFL as a R.B. during a period when it was impossible to recover from said surgeries & remain productive! He has my support totally.Impressive & important to note "first R.B. to do so….

About Art Powell, Frank wrote:
  Ray, The Senior Committee didn't pass on Powell, it endorsed him. He was one of three finalists the Senior Committee nominated -- DT Steve McMichael, WR Art Powell and coach Buddy Parker. All they each needed was an 80 percent yes vote from the full 50-person selection committee.In a rarity,both Powell and Parker were denied by the full committee. The senior committee showed the insight and courage to endorse Powell, a man who was far before his time both as a receiver and a man of social conscience. It was a travesty that the full committee did not grasp the gravity of the situation nor the incredible on-field achievements of Powell. He was a serious man who did not suffer fools and did not accept racial inequality. His on the field accomplishments were startling, but he wasn't warm and fuzzy and was shunned for marrying a white woman in 1957, then was ridiculed for doing the same things John Carlos, Tommy Smith and the Cleveland Seven did....years after him. He belongs in the Hall of Fame.

About Phil Villapiano, Daryn M Puhala wrote:
  He played really hard and was a big reason for the raiders success in the 1970's. He was dominant in the 1980's. He made it too four straight pro bowls from 73-76. played well in the Raiders Super Bowl victory in January of 1977. What I do not understand is why are there individuals in the pro football hall of fame that were only in two pro bowls. Phil is a bit Gregarious and at times a bit annoying but that should not prevent him from getting into the pro football hall of fame. He played with an edge. All defensive players who, particularly linebackers, who played in the 60's and 70's played with a nasty edge. You had to or you would not survive. It was a different time.
