Who do you think will get in? WR are not lucky getting in the HOF and a lot of hof voters dont think special team players are worthy of getting in
so between 4-7 men will get in the hof the list will get cut down to 15 in early january
who will make it?

I see Jerome Bettis, Michael Strahan, Cris Carter, Bill Parcells, and Will Shields getting into the Hall of Fame for next year's class.

Cris Carter is over due!

Bettis, haley, parcells, at least those three . A lot of good candidates

jonathan ogden is a lock.... warren sapp will also get in, john lynch, michael strahan, and jerome bettis are my picks

morten anderson all time scoring leader should be a lock

plenty of deserving candidates, larry allen deserves serious consideration given what emmitt smith was able to do with him being the main man on that o line that everyone always talks so highly of.

Andre Reed. Kelly,Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith are already in, and Reed was an integral part of the 90's Bills.

Kinda disappointed Ricky watters can't even get in the top 27 anymore
