I can agree that all of the above listed should since they were LB throughout their careers.
My issue is that nowadays you have more guys who have played both DE and LB, depending on the system they’re in. (Demarcus Ware for example)
Where do we classify guys like Ware in the future?
The Hall will classify them, I expect. If not, the voters will work it out.
In the end, remember that HOFs are a joke, anyway. Two easy examples of why:
In baseball, the DH is defended to the death by almost every AL beat writer, yet they don't vote them into the HOF because they're "just" DHs.
In football, ST players almost never get it, and players who were great for reasons that aren't quantified (i.e. 3-4 NTs) are at a big disadvantage.
