All due respect as an all time Patriot, but I don't think McGinest was ever in the hunt for the pro football hall of fame. Below are all of the NFL HOF linebackers, just 16 of them. All have multiple pro bowls, and/or all NFC or AFC elections on their resumes. Willie was nominated for the pro bowl only twice. Maybe the Patriots HOF, but that's it.Way back I said Willie would really screw any HOF chance by going to a lousy team like Cleveland. Seems really so.
