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?

[tboculosis]

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

[wrigleyfield]

Cris Carter is over due!

[Devlin]

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

[manningcollector]

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

[rtsjr]

morten anderson all time scoring leader should be a lock

[TheNati#22]

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.

[timb69]

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

[BEAVERS06]

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