How many of the guys below will get in?
*Mark Ingram 8,111 Yds 65 RushTDs 10 RecTDs
Melvin Gordon 6,462 Yds 55 RushTDs 14 RecTDs
*Ezekiel Elliot 8,262 Yds 68 RushTDs 12 RecTDs
*Derrick Henry 8,335 Yds 78 RushTDs 3 RecTDs
*Christian McCaffery 4,726 Yds 38 RushTDs 22 RecTDs 3756 RecYds
Alvin Kamara 5,135 Yds 49 RushTDs 22 RecTDs
Jonathan Taylor 3,841 Yds 33 RushTDs 3 RecTDs

Maybe Derrick Henry
And I've been saying this for years.

Henry is a probability. Chubb is a possibility. With a couple more big seasons, Elliot could get in too.

Close down and board up the hall of fame if Mark Ingram ever makes it

I think Elliot is about out of gas, TBH.

He looks dreadfully slow these days.

Henry might be in already but one more 1500+ yd season and he's probably a shoe in.
McCaffrey could have been well on his way if it wasn't for the injuries.
Chubb has been incredibly consistent with yards per carry but probably doesn't get enough touches.

This post lacks spreadsheets to make an accurate decision

I agree.

Fred Taylor still isn't in with 11,700 yards at 4.6 ypc. I don't think these guys stand a chance. Maybe Henry just because he's so unique.

too many games being played now and players are getting injured more.
the workhorse RB is dead you need 3 keep everyone healthy.

Zeke is "hall of very good" to me but then you compare Zeke's stats to Terrell Davis and by that standard Zeke is a shoe-in.
CMC is in
Henry is in
Taylor I think will be in by the time hes done but the Colts are a dumpster
The rest are ehhh... Chubb and Kamara are the next guys out.

Henry seems like the best bet, both in terms of paper numbers and eye test. If he can put up 1 more elite season I think he gets in with a little additional stat padding.
If mccaffrey can stay healthy and put together a few more quality seasons maybe?
Kamara was in a decent position statwise, but his offense is a mess and he likely gets suspended.
Taylor is too early to tell but his career has started great.
Guys like LeSean McCoy just set a high bar. I don’t think McCoy gets in, and yet he has 15,000 yards from scrimmage and 89 total touchdowns. There are some really good non HOF rbs out there.

Not in HOF? Are we kidding? Who the hell are these voters?
Edit: Terrell Davis is in the HOF w/ 7600 yrds. Superbowls probably

Marshawn Lynch, Priest Holmes, Ricky Watters, Shaun Alexander. Some really good ones not on the list.
Shaun Alexander the biggest snub imo. Guy has 112 touchdowns and isn’t in the HOF. Will be the highest total for a non-HOFer assuming Antonio gates and Adrian Peterson get in.

Henry is damn near a lock to get in imo.
I don't think anyone else from this list makes it in, however. But I'm welcome to being wrong.

8000 yards and 75 total touchdowns is a hell of a solid career. I would have never guessed Ingram did that.

Never would have guessed Zeke and Henry have had almost exactly the same career.

Henry probably will as long as he keeps pumping out yards for the next 3-4 seasons. Same for Zeke but he's going to have to have some thousand yard seasons which idk if he can do anymore.
Taylor could get there but he's gotta stay healthy and have 3-4 more seasons like he had in 2021.
