Dak is a good but not great QB. What really will keep him out of the HOF is his playoff stats. His counterpart in Houston though is right on track minus a soph slump.

Damn little old Miami University in Ohio had 92 players in the NFL? Most of those must have been pre-1980

Miami University won't be on that list anymore in a couple years whenever Roethlisberger is eligible for pro football hall of fame

Chris Jones will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Don't know why Prescott is on the list.

If he could stay healthy, Deebo Samuel is HOF material, imo.

Dak Prescott's meltdowns in the playoffs are epic. That's not HOF material unless that changes.

Sauce Gardner has a shot if he keeps playing at his current level.

Arguably the best corner in the NFL with only 2 seasons behind em

Are Prescott and Gilmore HOF players? Maybe, but I wouldn't say a lock at this point.

Devin McCourty should be a HOFer but he didn’t get the individual acclaim he deserved.

ETA: Ray Rice was on a HOF track before he knocked out that crazy chick.

time will tell for Jadeveon - the microfracture surgery he had to have his rookie season changed the trajectory of his career - but he's now entering his 11th consecutive season on a NFL roster since being drafted overall #1 in 2014 -

another Gamecock other than Sterling Sharpe that deserves to be in Canton is John Abraham

133.5 career sacks ranks just outside top 10 all-time - which is more than HoF'ers Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas - Abraham also has more career tackles than current HoF'ers Brian Urlacher, Michael Stahan ...and one Ray Lewis -

State has had at least a couple that were HofF worthy including DD Lewis and Kent Hull. KJ Wright (retired about a year ago and Fletcher Cox who just retired could be elected. Chris Jones and Jeffrey Simmons are two current players who, if they continue at this high level, will be in the HofF one day.
