| About Lester Hayes, Gerard Gailes wrote: | |
| He deserves consideration, he had a legendary career; you can't avoid not seeing him even if you are not aware of who he is. Every NFL Super Bowl history segment has him in it. Just to think if stickum was never invented he would be in the Hall of Fame already. | |

| About the eligibility class of 2027, D wrote: | |
| AB and Gronk are the most dominant players on this list, so they are both first ballot locks. Everyone else, IDK. It is crazy to me that Cam Newton has a higher score than Big Ben..... Even though Ben has objectively the worst Superbowl winning performance ever (22.6 QBR), he is still better than Cam Newton all time LOLLL | |

| Micah Hyde last played in 2023. So he will first become eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2029, not 2030. | |

| About Tony Boselli, Jason wrote: | |
| Fred Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame, even though he missed 55 regular season games due to injury, he still managed to climb as high as 15th on the all-time rushing list. Taylor gave everyone a 4.5 season head-start. Marcus Allen only had 3 or 4 seasons with a thousand yards rushing, Taylor had 7 but probably could've had 9. Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and both had similar careers. | |

| About Kam Chancellor, Odin wrote: | |
| Kam will most likely never make it to the Hall of Fame, which is a shame. Ask anyone who played against the Legion of Boom who they feared the most and it was Kam. He was the last of a dying breed of hard hitting enforcers, roaming the middle of the field and laying players flat. He'd make players pull up to reduce the impact of his hits, and he did all of this without being considered a dirty player. He's the unsung hero of the Seahawks' Super Bowl win over the historic Broncos offense. | |

| About Cedrick Hardman, aajayunlimited wrote: | |
| Of his 49er career[1st 10 years], he averaged a sack in 4 out of every 5 games played(78% of the games he played)! Plus, he played almost all of his career in 14 game seasons: in his best 2 seasons, he averaged over a 1 sack a game in those 2 seasons(including an 18 sack season). Then, the 70s were loaded with great DEs in his conference/the NFL to keep him from getting highly decorated(only had 2 PBs, they weren't consecutive, and no APs). All accolades are not equal: sometimes, you must dig deeper! At the end of the day, he's in the 49er HOF and the best 49ers DE in history! | |

| He was my favorite player when I was a kid. But he is no Hall of Famer. Even before injuries named him, he was a good tough back but no more. | |

| Jeremy Shockey won two super bowls during his career. He was a member of the 2007 Giants team that beat New England (he was hurt for Super Bowl 42) and was a member of the Saints 2009 team that beat Indianapolis. He's not a Hall of Fame player, but he does have 2 Super Bowl rings. | |

| About the eligibility class of 2027, Jerrod wrote: | |
| Big Ben is first ballot. Not the best of his era? Had more yards than Rodgers whose still playing, has NEVER had a losing season. No QB in NFL history can say that. ROY breaking NFL records like most wins by a rookie, youngest QB to win a SB, back to back 6 TD games, led the NFL in passing yards 15 years into his career. He was always snubbed from all pros. He wasn't liked by voters. He wasn't flashy. He won games and is top 10 in every major NFL QB stats. He's 2st ballot if you like it or not | |

| About Harvey Martin, Ron Wetherholt wrote: | |
| Why this man isn't in the hall of fame is a travesty. He was Dallas's all time sack leader until Ware got it and he's in. Frankly Ware wasn't as good and they played fewer games back then when Martin played. I know he had a drug thing but the hall is only to look at his career. Additionally he an all decade player and a Super Bowl MVP with Randy White who is also in the hall. Hall Please fix this!!!!!! | |

| 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! | |
