First off congrats to Troy on being the first member of the Dynasty to get in (Drew not counted for obvious reasons). You are most deserving and pretty fitting that you are the first one to go in as you may be the brightest example of what a Patriot is. :youtheman:
Now onto the next few years as things are going to get awfully crowded. Here is the list of the next few to be elidgible and by the time we get thru this the rest will be elidgible.
From ESPNBoston here is the list of next up.
Tedy Bruschi -- 2013
Rodney Harrison -- 2013
Willie McGinest -- 2013
Ty Law -- 2014
Mike Vrabel --2015
Kevin Faulk -- 2016*
Matt Light -- 2016
thats 7 players right there at one each year Vinateri, Brady, Seymour and anyone else I am leaving out will be closer to elidgible 7 years from now. Also might want to consider where and when will BB, RAC, and Weiss fit in. Should make for some fun hall of fame moments of the next decade plus.
Now just for some fun predict the order of the above. I will stick with just the 7 but feel free to add someone else who could be elidgible if you would like.
2013 - No Brainer Teddy mine as well be handed the red jacket now.
2014 - Though Willie and Rodney were worthy of first ballot they went up against Teddy same problem this year as I see Ty as a first ballot.
2015 - Tough call and though I see Willie as a bigger part of the Patriots I think Rodney is just a more popular guy so Rodney it is.
2016 - I think Faulk would be first ballot here except I think he plays a game or two this year and so Willie it is and much deserved as he shouldnt have had to wait 3 years.
2017 - KFaulk take a bow
2018 - Matt Light I think he is where some guys could be pushed back by yet to retire players but for now Light it is
2019 - Same as above but for now Vrable it is.
I think they will have to wait a while but what about a guy like Lawyer Milloy once the keys to all 3 get in to we give him some love? I think he earned it. Or Ted Johnson or some of the other guys who played key roles in at least one title but are not obvious front runners like the 7 above. Do Koppen and Neal get any love I think they should but I know I seem like I am just giving it to anyone but there are so many deserving in my mind.
