How about no
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.
Peppers, Gates, Wayne, Holt, and Jared Allen is my prediction for the final class
Looking through it, this is the first time in a long time where there aren't many names that immediately jump out above the rest. Peppers and Gates definitely belong in as First Ballot, but otherwise, I'm not sure there are any locks. I'm sure at least one of those WRs finally breaks through with Steve Smith being the best of the group.

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

I hope dirty ass Hines Ward never sniffs the hall. But there are some very deserving names on that list.
This is r/nfl. Why is a basketball player the main image for this article.
I'm 31 and it's weird seeing all these guys I grew up watching
Bro Anquan Boldin played his last season 7 years ago. He fuckin balled out too
I’m still getting used to my head coach being a guy who’s rookie card I was trying to collect in elementary school
Me remembering when DeMeco was drafted

What does everyone think on Steve McMichael? I am so conflicted, I have been following his social media run by his wife, they want him in so bad, let's be real, I don't know that Steve is here in another year to see it, this has to be his year, but I don't know that his numbers are good enough to make it. Emotionally I want it but realistically I don't know that it happens.
He's being nominated via the Senior Committee, meaning he's a virtual lock to be inducted this year. Between all the secondary committees, I think there's only ever been one person nominated that that didn't get inducted in that year.
Good to know, thank you for the info, I really didn't know how that worked.

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.

Oh this forms the nucleus of players I grew up watching. Man.

Switch Hines Ward with Devin Hester and all is good.

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?
If Hines Ward makes it in before Kevin Williams I might just stop watching football.
Peppers and Gates are easy ones, then there's some backlog clearing. Those two, Holt, Wayne, and Jahri Evans. Evans was a monster for a stretch and there just aren't enough interior linemen in the HOF.

Freddy T!
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.

This means that notable snubs include Kevin Williams, Haloti Ngata, Jeff Saturday and Shane Lechler

I dont get how Steve Smith Sr isn't in yet
What a terrible year for the HOF.
They really need to do away with the rule that they have to induct at least 5 guys every year.

Time for Willis to go in.
Julius Peppers
Antonio Gates
Patrick Willis
Torry Holt
Darren Woodson
John Lynch being in over Darren Woodson such old boys club BS.
I am once again asking for the voters to put in Jahri Evans. I get he was a guard, but that guy was dominant. Should get his love even for a non glamorous position
