Stephon Gilmore - Patriot HoF'er? NFL HoF'er?

Froob · Apr 8, 2026

No to both, respectfully. Great career though, played at a HoF level just think he didn't do it long enough. But, if he makes it into Pats Hall I certainly won't be mad about it.

Stephon Gilmore's goal: Patriots Hall of Famer, Pro Football Hall of Famer

Longtime NFL cornerback Stephon Gilmore announced his retirement last week, and he's hoping he has a future home in two halls of fame.

www.nbcsports.com

I know there is a retirement thread, but wanted to add a poll ... He came straight out and said he wants some new togs, specifically a Red Jacket and a Gold Jacket...

Dude has a resume that backs it up afaiac... be a yes to both for me...

What say you?

Yes to both.
He passes the 'don't have to think about it test'. "Is he a hall of famer?" "Yes."
If you have to think about it, he's probably not.

Not a lot of guys on this list who aren't in the Hall of Fame, save for those still playing.

you are contradicting yourself
on the 1 hand you are saying Gilmore did not play well in Buff due to the players around him.
on the other hand, you are saying PFF was wrong to grade Gilmore as not playing well.

the stats are pretty clear. he did not play well in Buff at the end of his run there

What did we learn? (Again)
PFF grades are ********.

IMO Gilmore was a great CB for the Bills and Patriots. I struggle with putting him in a HOF for some reason.

Gilmore was meh in Buffalo, but badass with the Patriots. He's easily in the Pats HOF. His play on the ball turning it over on downs in the 2017 AFCCG would be like the Butler INT had the Pats ended up winning the Super Bowl against Philly.

Hall of the Very, Very Good overall. Shoe in for PHOF.
