In my opinion it is Charles Haley.

Only player to win 5 Super Bowls
5 Pro Bowls
2 Time All Pro
Was probably the most versatile LB for two Championship teams

It was Cris Carter.

I was about to say Andre Reed, but I see he made it this year. I've got no complaints now.

It was Ray Guy for a long time as the dude revolutionized punting forever.

It's Charles Haley now.

Kevin Greene, followed by Haley.

Greene 5 times to the Pro Bowl
3 times 1st team All Pro
3rd all time in career sack totals.

I wonder if Marvin Harrison will get in soon. I think people are pretty weirded out by his gun incidents.

The same people that have kept O.J. Simpson in could keep Harrison out.

I don't think Simpson would have gotten in if the (alleged) murders had happened before his induction.

I know his career was brief but Terrell Davis should be in there in my opinion.

still surprised Roger Craig hasn't made it in either.

seemed like he was a solid all-purpose back.

he was actually the guy who fumbled late in the 1990 nfc championship game against the Giants.

I think he and Tom Rathman both played for the Raiders later on. I want to say Craig played for the Vikings too but I'm not sure.

Yeah, pretty much has to be because of this, particularly with Reed getting in the HOF this year at WR after so long.

Dude basically only played 4 years really, can't see it happening. It sucks, but he's pretty much stuck in the same boat as Sterling Sharpe. Both would be sure fire HOF players if their careers weren't cut short.

yeah, guess not.

its just dude accomplished so much in such a short time.

League MVP, Super Bowl MVP, rushed for over 2,000 yards in one season. At that time he was only like the 4th player to do it.

Edit: 3-time Pro Bowler, 3-time All-Pro

Having grown up in the 70's, I thought Ken Stabler would have been a cinch to make it.

100% agree. Unbelievable Greene isn't in. I mean, 3rd all time in sacks. More sacks than Lawrence Taylor, and a ton of other hall of famers.

Yeah, the only people with more career sacks than Kevin Greene are Reggie White and Bruce Smith. Greene has the most career sacks of any Linebacker in NFL history.

LT is 10th in career sacks all time with 132.5

It's really rather bizarre Greene hasn't made it in yet, every other eligible player in the top 14 of career sacks has gotten into the HOF besides him and Leslie O'Neal. And O'Neal is only 10th and had 132.5 sacks.

Kenny Stabler.

He's got more INT's than TD's but remember he was playing drunk most of the time.

Yeah, he was a stud no doubt. Pretty much the primary reason Elway finally got his Super Bowl rings.
