I love Holt. That dude was amazing & one of the best rr I've seen. I'd go Faneca & Holt over Atwater.Think Polamalu, Seymour, Hutchinson, Boselli, and Atwater. Willis and Wayne will get in but not as first ballot, Willis because he left the game young and Wayne because receivers always get backed up. Faneca, Holt, and Lynch belong as well, but otherwise it's a pretty weak group. Tasker belongs but will never make it, though if he's ever going to, it would be this year.
Hines Ward lol? This list is whack.Complete BS Rodney Harrison isn’t being considered.
Rodney played in an era with a ton of historically good safeties and was overshadowed by the likes of Atwater, Lynch, Woodson, and Polamalu and Reed (later). Carnell Lake, LeRoy Butler, and Merton Hanks have as many or more All Pro selections as Rodney did, and neither's even a consideration. Think Rodney's NFL career is a bit overrated by Patriots fans, even if he was great for us.
I think your take says the complete opposite Rodney was underrated. Despite playing better than (See above stats by @BaconGrundleCandy) or at least equal to the guys you mentioned he did not get the pro bowl and all pro love. This would signal he was underrated.Rodney played in an era with a ton of historically good safeties and was overshadowed by the likes of Atwater, Lynch, Woodson, and Polamalu and Reed (later).

He might have been a bit overrated here but very underrated nationally?I think your take says the complete opposite Rodney was underrated.

he will def be in Pats hofI’m just disappointed Marshall Newhouse didn’t make the cut..
The 10 senior members will be interesting. I think those ten should include Stanley Morgan, Ken Anderson, Cliff Branch, Roger Craig, LC Greenwood, Lester Hayes, Harold Jackson, Ed Too Tall Jones and probably a few other snubs I'm forgetting.
From the modern players I'd take Seymour, Polamalu, Zach Thomas, Atwater and Patrick Willis. I'd love an all defensive team to balance out all the offensive players taken over the past few decades.
Michael Irvin, who I generally like, always says "we have to do something about this log jam at receivers going into the hall", I agree but not in the way that he would like. Reggie Wayne and Torry Holt were the second receivers on their teams. Sorry but I wouldn't take them. I've advocated for Art Monk in the past because he was almost like a TE in that offense and did so much dirty work and won 3 titles. I cannot stand Ward the person but he was Art Monk in that offense, won two title and was a SB MVP. If you let Monk and Ward in then additionally from a selfish aspect Edelman is getting in for all the same reasons. Holt and Wayne never did those things.
Tasker is interesting in that if he gets in Mathew Slater should one day get in.
