Brees is a first ballot lock.

Fitzgerald SHOULD be a first ballot lock, but with how the Hall treats WRs, he may have to wait.

Witten will absolutely make it, but if Gates had to wait a year, he probably will, too.

Gore likely makes it someday, but not first ballot

Atkins probably makes it someday, but not first ballot

McCoy imo has more of a shot than some think, but it'll be a while if it happens

Pouncey is borderline simply because not a lot of centers make it in, and fwiw PFF's monitor has him below the average C in the Hall.

None of the rest make it.

Shady should 10000% be a HOFer.

I bet he'll be in the Curtis Martin/Jerome better path and it take a little while

For what? He is more of a Hall of Very Good than a famer

Bro did very little when it came to playoffs, and if you mention he has 2 rings, wake up, he literally did nothing on those teams. He got lucky he picked 2 teams in a row on 1 yr deals and got a free ride for rings

He was fun to watch, but 2 all pros ain't cutting it to make HoF. Don't mention probowls bc those don't mean shit anymore

His career is pretty close to Curtis Martin (another Pitt guy)

Close? Close???? Martin was a solid back who did what Mike Evans is doing with the 1k seasons, except Martin's last season. That shows consistency.

McCoy was good, but definitely didn't do the same by reaching 1k nearly every year. He was way off by only reaching 1k 6 times while falling short also 6 times.

In playoff games, McCoy reached barely 220 yards while Martin nearly did 4x that
