See anyone on the list who might get voted in?

I think Jahri Evans has a good chance.

*4× First-team All-Pro (2009–2012)
*Second-team All-Pro (2013)
*6× Pro Bowl (2009–2014)
*NFL 2010s All-Decade Team
*FWA All-Rookie Team (2006)
*Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie Team (2006)

Is Joe Horn on any top anything lists? I’m not taking away from his time as a Saint, but that doesn’t mean he deserves to be in Canton.

Players who get on NFL All Decade Teams are pretty much a lock to get in eventually

Wesley Walls and Eric Allen could get some consideration.

Horn is in the hall of very good, just never made that leap to the upper echelon of WRs.

Evans, Neal, and maybe Glover should get in.

Neal led block for 8 consecutive 1000 yard rushers.

And this is why the NFL HOF should not be taken seriously anymore That many of these are even in consideration is highlarious

Evans is the only one that will likely make it from that list

The full list isn’t bad at all. The list with ties to the saints isn’t great.


Olin Kreutz should be removed from the history books as a Saint.

Man I’m still salty about that 2011 loss - and much more so than 2018 because I think that 2011 team was all time great. That team was just stupidly good on offense and deserved a ring.

I’ve never found joy in watching interior lineman like I did watching Nicks and Evans absolutely obliterate opposing d-lines, and watching drew just slide up into a perfect pocket again and again.

Hope Evans gets in.

I think Jahri gets in eventually. He looks more and more all world compared to the linemen of today




So glad he is back with the Saints

I think Evans is in the border between the hall of fame and the hall of great.

Believe it or not I met La'Roi Glover one night (when he was a Saint) when he was standing next to me at a Judas Priest concert at the HOB in NOLA. I turned to my right during the show and there was La'Roi smoking a giant cigar. He saw the shocked look on my face and started laughing his arse off and high-fived me. He was with Kyle Turkey. Turley was at the bar with a bunch of smoking hot chicks. He was a mountain of a man at the time!

He was good with the Dolphins. Finished his career with just over 10K rushing yards. Not HOFer nor live up to the insane hype but still good career
