NFL Honors / HOF announcements

[Patjew]

My favorite Patriot of all time. Rough as nails and clutch as hell. He more than deserves to be in the HOF.

 

[TheRainMaker]

He should make it. He was a bad ass Safety with the Chargers and had some great years with the Pats.

 

[Uptown]

About damn time..

 

[IcyPatriot]

Rodney is up against too many greats this year. But honorable to have his name on the list.

PFT has an article up that it’s been leaked that Steve McMichael, Devin Hester, and Julius Peppers have been elected to the HOF. The official announcement comes out later tonight.

Changed the title of this topic. I hope Rodney gets in too.

Saw a recent photo of Mongo McMichael... damn. ALS is not a nice disease to have.

Score one for STs if Hester is in fact voted in. I think he deserves it and it should help Vinatieri and Slater.

Kickers have improved since Adams day so I'm not sure he's the lock we thought he once was.

And Slater has an uphill climb but getting the best returner in can't hurt.

And if they continue to snub Rodney I don't know why I would give a crap about their opinions anyway.

Steve McMichael, Devin Hester, Julius Peppers selected to Pro Football Hall of Fame

No word if this is the whole class.

EDIT: sorry, @Koma, didn't see your post.

The original report came from a Bears source and all 3 were Bears. I’d guess this isn’t the whole class.

Whoever gets their name called won't be as good as Willie McGinest.

Rodney has a lot of quality competition. There is a maximum of five, so that leaves a mere three other slots available. McMichael was a Senior category finalist. Harrison was one of 15 Modern Era finalists.

Hester getting in would be huge for us because it opens the door for Slater. I think it was going to be damn near impossible for Slater to get in with Hester still on the sidelines. But this at least says "someone who was exceptional and dominant in special teams can make the HOF". So Slater with 8 All Pros and 3 Super Bowls is going to have a very strong case.

Whoever gets their name called won't be as good as Willie McGinest.

After Willie went to the Pro Bowl in '96, I will admit to being down on him. Never to the point of considering him a bust - just thinking of him as another guy that didn't live up to his draft status. It wasn't until 2002 or 2003 that I changed my mind.

Wow, did I ever get that opinion wrong.

 

[sb1]

CJ Stroud OROY. Wasn’t a hard choice.

Hope whoever we pick has a great rookie year too.

 

[sb1]

Andre Johnson named to HoF

No Gates. Thought he was a first ballot HOF I guess not.

 

[sb1]

DPOY Myles Garrett. Beat Parsons wow

 

[signbabybrady]

Andre Johnson named to HoF

No Gates. Thought he was a first ballot HOF I guess not.

3 1500 yard seasons is pretty good and over a decade of dominant football.

But I'll take 30 ints and 30 sacks. Multiple rings and the mean dominant football played by Rodney every day of the week and twice on football Sundays.

Will Anderson DROY. Texans sweep the ROY awards
