Hester deserves some votes based on what he accomplished on special teams and you will likely never have a returner again under these rules

Macafee gonna be unsufferable if he gets close to election

NFL needs to have some years where no one gets in. Filling quotas just waters it down.

There are a lot of really good players eligible, but not many consensus first ballot names.

Therefore, I vote for the Fullbacks:

Mike Alstott
Daryl “Moose” Johnston
John “Coooooooooon” Kuhn
Lorenzo Neal

Honestly Mike Alstott and Lorenzo Neal deserve to get in at some point. Prolly the 2 best fullbacks of the last 40 years.

Yeah I could go either way of them. I put Reggie in my 5 because I’m a homer and he’s from New Orleans.

Patrick Willis is one of the most underrated players of all time IMO.

Loved watching him play football and should be in the hall for sure.

Patrick Willis was a 7x pro bowler and 5x 1st team all pro. That’s 1st ballot numbers right there

Neal was a true fullback. Alstott was a big tailback.

Ole Prime was right about the HOF. That list for the most part is a joke. Some of these guy’s getting in recently were quota selections. Need to decrease the number of selections or have years where no one is selected like the poster noted earlier.
