Watt has only played 5 NFL seasons (missed the last two due to injury)

Yet, by his production, he has a legit case

He already has the most Defensive Player of the Year awards with 3 (tied with LT)

He already has 4 first team all pro nominations (same as Urlacher this year who got in, and more than a host of guys in the hall)


thoughts?

Is there a minimum number of seasons they have to play to get in? Seems to me like that is his only hurdle.

yes, he's in. If he never plays another down he's probably one of the Top 10 despite not having the longevity of the others on the list

I say yes. When he’s on the field and healthy he’s the best defensive player in the league

Yes, he's arguably the most dominant defensive player of his generation and has gained accolades on par with Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White to represent that domination

nfl is letting too many people in. it is not exclusive enough imo, but it is way too late to cut back now.

I can see his ballot now:

“Corniest player to ever play in the NFL”

Isn't he 3-time defensive player of the year?

As you said in 5 seasons.

I'd say it's crazy for him not to be in.

If Terrell Davis and his limited seasons got in, watt better make it too is all I'm saying.

Being in the Hall of Fame doesn't mean shite anymore. It's so saturated it's pathetic.

Here's a spin-off thread: what sport still has a hall of fame where its actually hard to get in?

Great guy and player but his contributions don't mean much.

There isn't any noticeable drop off in defensive production when he isn't on the field.

They should have traded him while he still had prime value.

Yes, he also has secured a spot on the Old Yankee Workshop for his effort building log cabins.
