This is not even a debate to me. He belongs in the HOF without question. He has over 50 INT's in his career and was a game-changer. He always stepped up to the biggest moments and made the plays that mattered. That was the signature of those SB defenses and Law did it at an elite level. All-Pro defender that got rules changed. He's had an impact on the game and that alone should get him in The Hall.
What makes his stats and decorations more amazing is that he did it without ever possessing top-end speed, power, or leaping ability. In other words, he wasn't great necessarily because he possessed freakish athleticism. He was smart, savvy, and a technician. He could anticipate your route, and that's something I'm willing to bet Revis learned during his time with Law. And he had great hands to make the play, which is something nobody really thinks about.
53 career INT's
5-time Pro Bowl
2-All Pro
2-time NFL Alumni Defensive Back of the Year
2-time NFL League Leader in Interceptions
1-Pro Bowl MVP
One of only a few defenders to have a pick-6 in a SB (I don't remember the exact number, sorry)
3-TIME SUPERBOWL WINNER
What more is there? If those numbers don't get you into Canton, then I don't know what qualifies a CB anymore. The Pats last SB win was with Law manning the defensive backfield. Revis is giving me that buzz again. Maybe he's been the real missing piece all these years - Hobbs, Bodden, Springs (what a joke), Wheatley, Butler, Ras-I, McCourty, Talib, you get the point. I probably even forgot a few.
By the way, thanks for posting this, OP.
