Flutie is there... heh. I guess they are considering his CFL career?

Great to see Drew, Tedy, Law, McGinest and Rodney mentioned.

I think Willie is a HOFer. 3 Superbowl rings, plus the all-time leader in playoff sacks. If you consider that Kevin Greene just got in, Willie should breeze in.

Rodney and Ty Law are maybes. I doubt either one makes it in. I would have to say that Law has a better shot of the two of them. He was the best CB in the game for a few years, and his pick 6 in the Superbowl would have to be considered.

I think WM and RH are both hall material, but IMO Rodney is more likely to get in first, and in front of Ty law.

Willie has the stats you mentioned, but essentially only a patriot his career, and that will be held against him by some voters.
Rodney played at a high level in AFCW and AFCE, so that gets him past some of that.

Ty did little after he left pats - I never thought of him as "THE Best CB" either, there were other good ones same time. In his time not sure there was a hands down best, but he IMO certainly wasn't #1 for MULTIPLE YEARS as you said.


WHAT? No mention of Tedy?

If **** Vermiel doesn't get in he will cry.

If he gets in he will cry.

345 Park Avenue cannot be pleased with this news:

Eight former Patriots earn HOF nominations

Granted some had very non-HOF-worthy careers while with the Pats, but eight nomination from one team is still relatively impressive - with five of those players primarily known for being a Patriot.
