15 HOF Finalists Who Do you think gets in this year?

Here are the guys of these 5 will get in:

Tim Brown
Cris Carter
Andre Reed
Shannon Sharpe
Dermoniti Dawson
Richard Dent
Chris Doleman
Charles Haley
Jerome Bettis
Cortez Kennedy
Curtis Martin
Willie Roaf
Deion Sanders
Marshall Faulk
Ed Sabol

Veteran's Committee
Chris Hanburger
Les Richter

Here are my thoughts:

Sabol gets in as a contributor.
Hanburger gets in from vets committee (another guy that is very borderline getting in from the vets committee, see Floyd Little and Tommy MacDonald)

Here is my pick for the 5

1. Marshall Faulk - lock
2. Deion Sanders - lock
3. Cris Carter
4. Richard Dent
5. Willie Roaf


That being said Shannon Sharpe, Chales Haley, and Dermoniti Dawson deserve to get in now, as well as the rest of this list, but this is Dent's last time before he goes into vets committee wasteland.

Everyone on this list should get in way before guys like Floyd Little or Chris Hanburger.

Who are your 5?

Tim Brown
Cris Carter
Marshall Faulk
Deion Sanders

then either Dent, Sabol, or Sharpe.

All that matters to me...

9× Pro Bowl selection (1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976)
4× First-team All-Pro selection (1972, 1973, 1975, 1976)
2× Second-team All-Pro selection (1969, 1974)
8× First-team All-Conference (1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976)
1972 NFL NFC Defensive Player of the Year

very nice card. Pro Bowls mean nothing to me. People get voted in on name alone most times. Everytime Junior Seau got voted in I knew it was a farce. All Pro selections are very meaningful. He is thought of a few notches below the greats of his positon at his time (Butkus, Lanier, Bell, Ham, Lambert) Very similar to Tommy Nobis if you ask me, who also should be in. I think Hanburger should be in, and will get in this year, but guys who are considered one of the two best ever at their position have had trouble getting in the last two years. (Carter, Sharpe)

I completely agree with that logic. Hopefully Hanburger will get in before the classes really start getting clogged up with modern stars. :salut:

Sanders, Faulk, Roaf, Carter, Sharpe

Not Ken Anderson. (He is being sent to Vet committee now)

Sabol, Faulk, Deion, Sharpe, Carter would be my picks.

Cris Carter
Dermoniti Dawson
Richard Dent
Marshall Faulk
Ed Sabol

Ed Sabol does not count in the 5 going in.

I'd say horse lips goes in too, then

- Ray Buchanan

Shannon sharpe deserves it....I like him as a player....
Faulk, sanders, sharpe, brown, Haley/carter

Cris Carter,Marshall Faulk,Deion Sanders,Curtis Martin,Richard Dent.
I would like to see the NFL make Sanders wait a year or two like they have done with Cris Carter, Just because I dont like Deion.
