Hard to believe none of the five Tigers immortalized in Tiger Stadium are among the six in the pro football HOF. (Cannon, Stovall, Casanova, Alexander, and now Jones).

The next name up in Tiger Stadium is likely Faulk and he isn't getting into the NFL HOF so maybe Faneca or Pat P. will be the first to get both honors.

Peterson and Whitworth are in.

TM7 isn’t getting in.

Danielle Hunter is in with 2 more good years.

Now see the correct answer> I can't believe the Ruston Rifle isn't in. Dang it. Casanova needed to be on a better team and maybe have played a little longer.

He was 2010s all decade 1st team. That’s usually a pretty good indicator that they’re getting in.

None of those guys deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

There are 13 players with 50+ career interceptions that aren’t in the Hall of Fame. TM7 had 36. Guess we’ll see.

You’re right about Whitworth. I thought he had a couple more all-pros.
