Good Luck Steve. 

Do you think he will get in?

[L-TownCat]

Boldin, Johnson, Smith, Ware, Mathis, Wilfork.

Best chances.

Of all the players on that list, Steve stands out the most

As a Panthers fan, I'd hope so.

I'm sure other players on that list stand out to other fanbases as well.

I could see Wilfork standin out as well with his Super Bowl victories

in the end, a max of 8 guys can actually get in but they don't always put in 8.  Think it was 5 last year.    I don't think 89 is going to be a first ballot guy.  122 guys also competing. 

I think 89 will go in year 2.  I personally think Hester is technically the most deserving for being a first ballot guy.  He is the GOAT at return.   But that is one step up from being the GOAT at K.

* Sam Mills made it to the semis last year

Agent 89 got this.

can you imagine is Sam and Steve both got in this year?  

[CanadianCat]

Hester will get in. He was truly a game changer. The only player ever to make you want to stay and watch the punt return. 

[ENCPantherfan2]

I say hold off til 2023 at let him and Peppers go in together.

Anybody know when Luke is eligible to go in?

I think 25.  But it could be 24.  Luke might have to wait a couple of years just because he only played 8 years.  It took Terrell Davis how many years to get in and he won 2 super bowls, an MVP and rushed to 2000 yards in 1 season.  But he only played 6 years.

[Shocker]

Mangold and 89 should be in definitely
