To prevent anyone from just randomly saying their guy is gonna be a hall of famer, we'll have some basic criteria.



To claim any of your players is gonna be a hall of famer they must have AT LEAST 4 Pro Bowl appearances.







For Arkansas, we have one guy who's going to be a Hall of Famer that's currently playing.


Jason Peters: He's made 8 Pro bowls in his 12 year NFL career.

I literally don't give a shite. I cheer for Bama, not the individual players when their career is over for Bama.

As for my NFL team, it's the Falcons. Draft a whole roster full of Auburn, Tenn. and L5U players for all I care. As long as the Falcons play good, that's all I give a shite about in the NFL.

John Abraham

Jonathan Joseph only has to get 1 more Pro Bowl, to fit your criteria, and he's still active

I'll just say Julio even though he's at 3 Pro Bowls currently.

AJ Green, Justin Houston, and Geno Atkins meet the criteria in the OP. Green has the best chance of those. Champ Bailey is retired but not eligible for the HOF yet.

Jeremy Johnson will be well on his way after securing his second Heisman in 2016.

Shaun Alexander

Only made 3 pro bowls and IDGAF. He's tied for 7th all time in rushing touchdowns ahead of guys like Barry Sanders, Jerome Bettis, Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, etc.

Kyle Williams, 5 Pro Bowls so far. Messed up a knee this year though. We will see how well he comes back.

I don't think Alabama has any current NFL players that are locks for the Hall of Fame. Many of Alabama's best players are still too young to realistically talk about as future hall of famers.

Julio Jones is probably on a Hall of Fame trajectory right now, but health and longevity is always a concern.

With the players Alabama has been putting in the NFL starting with the 2009 draft and on, there could be a couple of more guys work their way into the discussion. Amari Cooper for example seems destined to be one of the league's top WR for years but it's absurd to talk about a rookie having HOF potential.

For Arkansas...

Steve Atwater
Jason Peters

Crazy to me that Atwater isn't in HOF as of yet.
