Still remember the roar of BoA when he intercepted Brady on MNF back in 2013. One of the best nights of my life. Charlotte was something else that night.

it was indeed !

I didn't think he had officially retired to be eligible. 

Here are ten newly eligible players (added to the list of those who are still eligible but didnt get votes this year)

Very interesting  class. In an alternative world where AB never went off the rails and LeVeon Bell stayed on the Steelers,  all 3 of the killer bees might have made it in 

Looking at that list. Adrian Peterson and Big Ben should be lock first ballots. I think bellicheat and eli will also probably get in.

Best off the ball LB I've ever seen when you consider all the things he did pre-snap. He wasn't just an elite player, he was a Brady/Manning level QB mind at MLB making sure we were in the right play with the right checks and that everyone was on the same page.

really happy for Luke. He's not the most influential panther of all time. But I think he will go down as the best Panther ever in terms of his impact at his position. Just unbelievably talented but also a wizard in terms of play recognition and diagnosis. 

[Bear Hands]

Awesome for the guy. One of the best LBs of all time.

Cam is mentioned on the list, and I think he’s eventually getting in. But it’s gonna take the right year and some time. He’s a HOF level talent and he did show it on the field. But he’s not first ballot with a number of other QBs ahead of him with more accolades and superbowl rings.

Very glad that Luke not playing a ton of seasons didn't hurt his HOF chances. Dude was as dominant of a defender there was while he played in the NFL.

Still miss him & TD with their elite LB play when we had them

[Khyber53]

Quite possibly the most impactful MLB of all time. He richly deserves that bust in the Hall.

Now if we could get him into coaching down the road...

I wonder if we get the HOF game this year
