Who Are Some Underrated Players You Think Deserve The HOF?

[PCP63]

Past, present, future, doesn't matter. Just wanting to hear some guys that don't get enough credit. Personally, I'd love to see two huge underdogs, London Fletcher and Derrick Mason, get consideration. Two of the most consistent ever at their respective positions.

Is he even eligible yet?

If so, hell yeah.

[sciond]

Klecko...all pro at 3 positions

Chrebet, really for the path he took as an undrafted player and became one of the best slot WR's in the league.

Good story but no.

Tony Boselli.  

5x Pro Bowler, 3x All-Pro, NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.

Yes, his career was short (only 7 seasons) due to injuries.  So what?  He was one of the best at what he did at a game that tends to cut careers short.

He was a wall until his shoulder went.

these 2 both should make it ... are they just not eligible yet?

[shawn306]

Klecko obviously 

Randy Gradishar: 7 time pro bowler, 2 time all pro, AP Defensive POY 1978

Ken Riley: 68 career interceptions.

I always felt that Riley and Gradishar were overshadowed by Lambert and Mel Blount.

more INTS than Revis...    should be first ballot HOF, right?

[Jetpain]

I don't think Cro is a HOF player.  Had some very good seasons and was an amazing athlete, but not what I would consider HOF

Mike and Peyton?

[neckdemon]

Alan Faneca

 

9 probowls in a row

6 all-pro selections

 

[TuscanyTile2]

Keith Hernandez

[Hael]

Wes Welker.  There’s a logjam of better wrs and he’ll never get in, but he is the best slot wr of all time and completely revolutionized the position.  His stats are crazy.

Eric Metcalf.  Same reason as above.  He didn’t play a primary position, but is the definition of a multipurpose jack of all trades/st threat/3rd down back, and is the best to ever do that.

[pdxgreen]

Joe Klecko, Alan Faneca, John Lyncb, Sam Mills.

This but him not getting in this year means he never will. Some many marginal players in the HOF because of SB victories but one of the most versatile lineman ever will not get there.
