He was shown on NFL Network's Top 10 players who should be in the Hall of Fame. He was #6 on the list.

I honestly didn't think much about him, but his stats are pretty solid.

- Played 10 seasons for 3 teams
- 5 Pro Bowls
- 3 TD's in Super Bowl win
- 10,643 career rushing yards (4.1 per carry)
- 78 rushing TD's
- 3 time All-Pro selection
- 4,248 yards receiving
- Only NFL running back in history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season for three different teams

So what do you think? HOF worthy or no?

Not really a statistic that puts you over the top.

I say no the HOF for Ricky.

Not as HOF wothy as Joe Namath

Stats are better than I would have thought, but I don't ever remember being excited to watch a game just because Ricky Watters was playing. Also he went to ND, this should count against him, no?

Yes, 1000 rushing and 400 receiving every year. 91 rushing + receiving TDs, that's 9TDs/year. HOFer imo.

EDIT: This was before everyone was throwing to the RB.

I've never understood why Alex Karras isn't in. He must've alienated some influential people...
