Umm...isn't he just a finalist? Or do they have some inside info?


it's pretty rare to not make it once you are a finalist. It has happened, but not too common.

per John Clayton:

quote:

• Rickey Jackson, linebacker, New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers: The "Who Dat" excitement of the Saints' being in the Super Bowl has carried over to the Hall of Fame. Jackson is one of the greatest defensive players in Saints history. He had 128 sacks in 13 seasons, but this is his first chance in the final 15.
Chances: 33 percent


FAIL!

I never really saw them play, but i hear Jackson was 100X the player Tippet was


Ricky was a beast! That dude was tough as hell also, he broke nearlky every bone in his face and in a auto accident and only missed two games. You should have seen the helment they made from him so he could play. Here's to you Ricky!

Dead wrong PJ

Andre Tippett went in last year with similar stats, but Ricky's are alittle better. He deserves it no doubt.

He is at worst the 3rd best OLB behind Taylor and Derek Thomas. If Rickey played in NYC he would have been in a hall long ago. LT would have made it no matter who he played for, but playing for the New York Football Giants and winning a couple of bowls certainly didn't hurt.

None of these guys were known for being Saints, they got their fame while playing/coaching other teams

Jim Finks wasnt a player, thus Ricky Jackson who played 12 years in New Orleans and is known primarily as a Saint is the FIRST TRUE SAINT TO MAKE THE NFL HALL OF FAME.
