A&M currently has zero NFL Hall Of Famers. I would have thought we’d have at least one, but alas…
That being said, do we realistically have 3 of them in the NFL right now (assuming enough years of what we’ve seen so far)?
If not all 3, which ones (if any)?

Von Miller and Mike Evans, definitely.

This. Garrett is on the correct path. Guys like Willis have shown that a seven year stretch of dominance is enough. Garrett isn’t quite to the degree of Willis (in AP’) but he’s going to have a longer career.
Few more years of doing what he’s doing and he’s in.

Looked something up.
If you were a 1st Team All-Pro for six or more seasons, you are in the Hall, with the following two exceptions:
1. Jim Tyrer: Murdered his wife then killed himself.
2. Shane Lechler: Punter for A&M.

Are there any punters in the HOF?

And I would argue Yale Lary, who was inducted in 1979 as a DB but was equally renowned for his punting.
And he went to A&M, so we do have one current NFL Hall of Famer.
Yale Lary Bio - Pro Football Hall of Fame
quote:
Detroit Lions fans recall Yale Lary in many different ways. Some remember him as a superb right safety, a key cog in Detroit's fearsome defensive platoon in the 1950s and 1960s. Others will tell you he was one of history's truly great punters. Still others say it was his breakaway ability on punt returns that set him apart from all the rest.
In reality, each assessment is correct because the multi-talented Texas A&M product did all of those things superbly well during his 11 years with the Lions. There is no question that Yale's defensive play was exceptional. A fixture at right safety throughout his career, he was named to the All-NFL team five times and played in nine Pro Bowls. His career mark showed 50 interceptions and he might well have had many more had not opposition quarterbacks avoided throwing in his area.
Still those who remember Lary as a superb punter have plenty of reason to do so. His career average of 44.3 yards on 503 punts places him among the best ever. He won three NFL punting titles and missed a fourth by a razor-thin margin. "Kicking from the end zone, Yale invariably put the ball across midfield with enough hang time to let us cover the kick," team captain and Hall of Fame linebacker Joe Schmidt recalled. "He made our defense look good because he always gave us room to work."
