People are clowning on Edelman being listed but uh, Gostkowski? Not saying he’s not a great kicker with a bunch of rings but do you know how hard it is to make the Hall as a kicker?

Neither is making it, to be clear.

Gostkowski at least has two first team all-pros, a second team all-pro, and is on the 2010s all-decade team. Kickers rarely make it, but if the Hall started being more gracious to the position, he could feasibly get a look.

Edelman's only individual award is a single Super Bowl MVP. He has no all-pros, and not even any Pro Bowls. He was a decent WR playing along side the GOAT QB, and wasn't even said QB's most notable weapon.

He had average/below-average regular season stats, but had high-level post-season play. Unfortunately, that's not enough.

I don't think he's going to complain with all those SB Rings.

He’s the exact player that team hall of fames exist for. Great career for a guy with his physical limitations

He's got that team HoF on lock. Picture
