Here's my take: Anquan should be inducted based off production, however the same writers who vote for the HOF never voted him first or second-team all-pro his entire career. He's only earned 4 honors his entire career: offensive rookie of the year and 3 Pro Bowls. If they didn't vote him in for a while or maybe ever, they'd be logically consistent with that.

This is his problem. He was never viewed as a top 4 or so WR at any point in his career. He never led the league in TDs, receptions, or yards.

He's basically Hines Ward, a WR few people would consider HOF-worthy.

ETA: Hines Ward actually has 3 2nd team All-Pro honors from the AP, and he's not sniffing the HOF IMO.
