5 Who Should Be In The Pro Football Hall of Fame

My Top 5 Who Should Get In Today


My apologies about the hiatus but I am back and ready to roll. Tonight the Pro Football Hall of Fame will announce their newest inductees. Of course, most of the players will get in at some point, but I have my 5 who should be locks today:


1. Deion Sanders: He is and was the definition of a lockdown corner. Quarterbacks would not even throw to his side of the field. And if they did most of the time he would pick it and return it for a touchdown. Also was there a more dangerous punt returner of kickoff guy? Today's players still pay homage to Neon Deion by high stepping with their hands on the heads on their way to the end zone. Primetime should get in this summer because he redefined the defensive backfield.


2. Marshall Faulk: He changed the game from a standpoint of he never left the field on 3rd down. Most runningbacks only ran the ball, catching it was for the change pf pace guy. Faulk was deadly running the ball as well as passing it. His teammates and coaches all say he was the smartest player they have ever played with. Marshall Faulk changed the game and how coaches looked at running backs. He redefined the position.


3. Cris Carter: "All he does is catch touchdowns", is saying that was used to describe Cris Carter. Jerry Rice said of Carter" He had the second best set of hands in the league." Carter put up big numbers on mediocre Viking teams. When he got Randy Moss as a teammate, he became even more explosive. Carter had great body control and always knew where the end zone was. Cris is 8th in touchdowns and 3rd in receptions. Truly one of the greats of his generation.


4. Ed Sabol: Sabol changed how we view football. One of the things I looked forward to as a kid in the summer was watching the recap of the season that was on NFL Films. What Sabol did was bring us closer to the games by letting hear what was being said in the huddle or on the sideline. The Football Follies made us laugh and by using home movies of players we were able to see a different side. The whole reason why the NFL Network and Directv Sunday Ticket existence is because of the Sabol family. He deserves the call to the hall.


5. Charles Haley and Shannon Sharpe: I know its two different people but they both should be in. Haley because over an 8 year stretch there not a more dominating defensive end in the league. Teams would game plan on way to shut him down. He won 5 Super Bowls and that is enough for me. I loved him when he was a Niner and despised him when he was a Cowboy, but I respected him because he was a winner.


Shannon Sharpe is the greatest tight end ever to play the game. Sharpe has 3 Super Bowl rings and for right now holds most of the receiving records for tight ends. Sharpe never got a lot of credit for his blocking but Terrell Davis, former Bronco running back, loved running behind his blocks. Sharpe has waited long enough.
