Players from SEC schools that should be in the Pro hall of fame but aren't.

They have to be eligible, so no guys like Peyton Manning. Guys that didn't play in the SEC are fine, otherwise it would be pretty hard for the 4 newcomers.
Rules:
Pick 1 guy from your team and 1 guy from another SEC team and put their credentials. They have to be eligible for the hall of fame, but not yet voted in.
For Arkansas, Steve Atwater. He made 8 pro bowls, 2 first team all pro, 1 2nd team all pro. He won two super bowls, he was on the 1990's all decade NFL team. He's a finalist this year and I hope he makes it in, he's really deserving.
Now, for my other pick, I'm going with Herschel Walker. He has an underrated pro career with several significant accomplishments. He only went to 2 pro bowls and was 2nd team all pro twice. He had 3 amazing years in the USFL (Steve Young played in that league too). Herschel's NFL numbers are underappreciated. He's 10th all time in All purpose yards in the NFL with 6 of the 7 players eligible ahead of him already in the Hall of Fame. If you included his yards from the USFL he would top the list. He was a very good NFL running back and an excellent kick returner. 3 of his most productive years were spent in the USFL. I think he doesn't get the attention he deserves for his excellent pro career.

Not much of a statistics guy and I know he was injured but I have always thought that No Jackson should be in the NFL hall of fame. Just my opinion. He was one of the greatest before he got hurt.

Here comes another Killean rant on Bo Jackson. I can't wait. You're in for a treat, Scoop.

He's probably just trying to make a backdoor case for Trent Richardson to be in the hall of fame since his career stats are so similar to Bo's.

If this is Bo Jackson; then I would only imagine that Bo would tell
You himself he doesn't belong in the NFL HOF because he didn't do enough in the NFL

He was the second best RB on his team who was far from the best RB in the NFL at that time.
All hype by the media and marketing just like you see with Fornet at LSU.

But they're just now eligible. So they have time.

Until right now, I always thought your name was Shane the leg catcher. Yes, it doesn't make sense but I guess I never really focused on it.
