Yea or Nay? Definitely will get in but first year eligibility can be rough.

Marshall Faulk and Deion are sure fire. Tim Brown on the bubble. Some other maybes.

I say Roaf does it. The first 2 Saints go two years in a row. All Pro 11 out of 13 years. His best credential to me is he was voted to the All Decade Team for both the 90's & 00's.

Find out tonight 6pm




TRIVIA- If elected, Roaf would become the 3rd Louisiana Tech Player in the NFL HOF. Terry Bradshaw is too easy. Who is the other? Answer posted when announcement is made.

The big guy deserves it. I'd say he's in.

In football you don't go in for a certain team you're thinking of baseball.

He's just been announced as one of the 10 finalists! Carter, Brown, and Haley are out.

Let's get it Willie!!

I would be surprised if he gets in. No one is talking about him making it. Not that he doesn't deserve it.

And Fred Dean. He's on the stadium.

Fred Dean it was. Kinda bummer on Roaf. But no doubt he'll get in. Sometimes the first year in more a result of the class and what others get in than the individual merits of the player

Yeh sucks he didn't get in... But he will. Crazy how Chris Carter hasn't made it yet

Hell NO!!!! Willie Roaf was a good player but not GREAT. I don't think there's any way he ever gets in.

I got it...

he goes in next year. They conspired that Saint players will only go in after seasons in which the Saints win the Super Bowl.

Must have been politics, because he deserved it.
