Future HOFers who current NFL players


Recommended Posts

I know this is random, but a friend of mine asked me who did I think the future HOFers are in this league still playing today and I said that was a good question maybe some football peeps on the net can help me answer that but before debating about it, I gave him a list and it goes a lil something like this

Bill Belichick

Tony Dungy

Mike Holmgren

Dick LeBeau

Tom Brady

Brett Favre

Peyton Manning

Ray Lewis

Steve Smith

Marvin Harrison

LaDainian Tomlinson

Ed Reed

Adam Vinatieri

John Kasay

Tony Gonzalez

Walter Jones

Derrick Brooks

Juniour Seau

Issac Bruce

Julius Peppers

Orlando Pace

Adrian Peterson - yes early, but already one of the best I've ever seen

Jeff Saturday

Terrell Owens - if his attitude changes

Randy Moss

Torry Holt

Steve Hutchison

Alan Faneca

Jason Elam

Kevin Mawae

Jason Taylor

Brian Dawkins

Ty Law

anybody else I would have to think about.... Anybody can help me out? any other thoughts on this.

peppers and smith have a very, very long way to go

peppers can't afford to have many down seasons like his last one if he wants to be in the HoF

and smith i doubt will ever make it, he will always be remember as one of the best recievers to play the game in my mind, but i don't think he will ever be able to get in

Steve Smith will get in off of reputation alone just for being a great FOOTBALL player first, which is what they look for. And besides, he has already 3 probowls, 2005 comeback player of the year, and 2005 MVP candidate. And will be in at least 4more probowls before its all said and done. Thats 7 altogether, which is 1 more than half the WR HOFers in Canton already. Besides, he has plenty of great seasons in him left. Not only that, but 2 NFC Championship game appearances, numerous big time playoff moments, grabs and etc. And even just 2 more 1000 yard seasons and he is in the ball park, and up there in the ball park.

As for Peppers, that one bad season really didn't hurt him much. He can rebound and have 2 more good seasons, 1 more great season, then 1 more solid season for him and he is in the ballpark or more than half above the middle of the pack. So both Steve Smith and Peppers should be fine for Canton.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
