Devin Hester, Julius Peppers and Steve "Mongo" McMichael make the NFL HOF

[lightskin jermaine]

They snubbed Gates

 

[RubioTheCruel]

The only first ballot guy on this list is Vinatieri. Manning, Keuchly, Suggs, Staley and Lynch are in the next tier, should get in eventually. Earl Thomas, Aqib Talib and Darren Sproles are super marginal, probably really shouldn't be in but can maybe squeak in on a weak year. Wake, Davis and Demaryius should never be in.

I think it's pretty much a lock that Keuchly gets in first ballot now that Willis is in since they've have pretty much similar careers(5 1st team all-pro years, 7 pro bowls) but Keuchly got the DPoTY to trump him. In addition, next year is a pretty weak year. Going forward you've got a bunch of locks(Drew Brees, AP, Gronk, Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, JJ Watt)

peppers is 4th in sacks all time, 9 time pro bowl, 7 time all pro

lol I’m seeing some of these comments and was wondering did people really never watch Peppers?? lol

 

[NYC Rebel]

Devin Hester getting in is a bad look. Especially with Torry **** still waiting.

Henry Ellard should be in before ****

 

[CHICAGO]

It's a joke he isn't in yet considering Terrell Davis got in years ago.

HE GOT 2 RINGS,
2 OPOY,
A MVP AND SB MVP?

ANGRY DAP NEG'D

U know it’s true, I’m happy for Hester but he doesn’t belong in the hof, at least more deserving then fuking mongo

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I drank and played dice with Devin Hester back in 2008 at Nate Vasher’s house. Cool dude.

NFL HOF going down the road of the NBA HOF.

Hester, Mongo and Freeney are curious choices.

It is odd to me that Hester is going in. Not saying he doesn't deserve it, but to celebrate somebody for something that the NFL is essentially trying to remove from the game seems a little weird to me.

I mean he's the best returner I've ever seen... makes sense to commemorate that with a HoF nod. You're right though, the NFL legislated the return game out so we won't see a guy like that ever again

peppers is 4th in sacks all time, 9 time pro bowl, 7 time all pro

Didnt change the game like that theres dudes who have stats that arent in Eric Allen deserves it

ITS THE PRO FOOTBALL HOF
NOT THE NFL HOF.

NFL GETTING RID OF KR
HAS NO BEARING ON THE PRO FOOTBALL HOF.

Shocked that Gates did not make the cut.

I thought he was a guaranteed 1st ballot HOF'er. I mean every time he caught the ball on damn near every broadcast they said he played basketball and was a future Hof'er. With that said Phillip Rivers better not make it on the 1st ballot either with his inflated padded azz stats.

 

[premier58]

Not sure if any first ballots there other than Luke and Joe.

**turns away from phone**

You dont think T. Suggs is a 1st ballot HOF?!

First ballot?? Buddy shouldn't be in at all
