Willie Anderson, OT -- 1996-2007 Cincinnati Bengals, 2008 Baltimore RavensAntonio Gates, TE -- 2003-2018 San Diego/Los Angeles ChargersDevin Hester, PR/KR/WR -- 2006-2013 Chicago Bears, 2014-2015 Atlanta Falcons, 2016 Baltimore Ravens, 2016 Seattle SeahawksTorry Holt, WR -- 1999-2008 St. Louis Rams, 2009 Jacksonville JaguarsJulius Peppers, DE -- 2002-2009/2017-2018 Carolina Panthers, 2010-2013 Chicago Bears, 2014-2016 Green Bay PackersWR's are weird, there are a lot of really good WR's but this is the HOF. I'm torn but I'd let Holt in because you can't tell the story of the NFL without greatest show on turf BUT I'd like to have seen him win 2. Plus rules have changed so much from the 80s and 90s I feel like you really need to stand out to get in now. Johnson and Wayne are really good but not great. Hester gets in because he changed the game as a KR/PR and the Bears made a Super Bowl because of him. Sinestro works for NFL films? That was one of three interviews I had when I graduated the first time in 2002 with a film/tv production degree. I didn't get the job obviously lol. I really miss film/tv production some days ... |

Wayne’s teammate Marvin Harrison might have gotten more of the spotlight, and Harrison was definitely better, but Reggie Wayne is 10th all time in receptions and 10th all time in receiving yards and he also deserves to be in the Hall of Fame (as does Andre Johnson and Torry Holt.) |

And that is completely fair, I really like all three but I dont think you can put everyone into the hall of fame. I had Wayne two and he is really good, I just dont think he was great.

Dwight Freeney and Devin Hester should go I feel. A couple others are right there. I hope so, two former Seahawks (even though only briefly at the end of their careers.) Much like Freeney was a Lion for a bit near the end which I had forgot about. |

This year's class was announced today:
Julius Peppers
Dwight Freeney
Patrick Willis
Devin Hester
Andre Johnson
Randy Gradishar
Steve McMichael
I had 3 of the 5 correct in my guesses, I was a little surprised about Antonio Gates not getting selected this year but I am sure he will make it in the future. I am very glad to see two (albeit briefly) former Seahawks in Dwight Freeney and Devin Hester get inducted this year.

The two I picked got in. I am sure Gates will get in. Probably didn't want to big of a class and quite a few there.
