Can't really argue with any of those choices - well, I never saw Duke Slater play.

I just assumed that Harold Carmichael was already in the Hall.

Edge James waited longer than he should have.

At age 35 at induction, Calvin Johnson will be the second youngest ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame (Gale Sayers, 34).

(Third-youngest? Barry Sanders.)

Jim Brown was also 35.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?

Knew I was forgetting another older player. Yes, Barry would be fourth-youngest.

Pretty happy to see Lynch join Brooks and Sapp from that Bucs group. Would love to see Ronde in there with them as well.

Eli’s gonna make the HoF, isn’t he? Even though he wasn’t above replacement value for much of his career.

Playing in New York is the only difference between Eli and Jim Plunkett.

Kind of mind-blowing that Barry Sanders is 9th or maybe 10th all-time in rushing TDs (99) but…

Most touchdowns in NFL history of:

10+ yards – 51 (Barry Sanders)
15+ yards – 41 (Barry Sanders)
20+ yards – 30 (Barry Sanders)
25+ yards – 27 (Barry Sanders)
30+ yards – 23 (Barry Sanders)

What a fun guy to watch. He’d have a few 1-yard runs in a row to lull you away, then he’d hit you with a 30-yard TD in which he embarrassed half the defense.
