Fred Taylor has one Pro Bowl and one 2nd team All Pro to his name. No way he gets in


Yeah, realistically I doubt he gets in this year, it's just my personal wishful thinking

Fred Taylor was a better RB than Frank Gore and Gore will probably get in, undeservedly.

I doubt Fred Taylor gets in any year.

There were so many early 2000s RBs that played great. Any given year there 16-18 1K yard rushers. And Fred stood out more then most but he didn’t have any one season where he was the best. Only one season when he was undoubtedly a top 3 RB.

I think there’s only 1 player in the modern era of the NFL that doesn’t have at least 1 1st-team All Pro selection, and that’s Troy Aikman. Gore will get in at some point with only a 2nd team selection too but he is the 2nd all time leading rusher. Taylor’s numbers (especially TDs) don’t rank that high.
