We have another major update to unveil here at Notinhalloffame.com as the Football List has been revised. A month ago, the Class of 2014 was unveiled over Super Bowl Weekend, and like last year the Baseball and Rock and Roll list have been unveiled much quicker than last year.
Last year, Derrick Brooks took over the top spot in his first year of eligibility, and was selected. This prompts the need for a new player at the top of the mountain and again we have another first year eligible player. Linebacker, Junior Seau, who sadly took his own life a couple of years ago, takes over the number one position. Seau may have tied tragically, possibly due to football related concussions, but his on field play necessitates his new spot. We wonder aloud if the potential reasons for his death, will be something that the Football Hall of Fame is looking to avoid.
Jerry Kramer, a former number one selection, and a previous interviewee on this website returns at number 2. You can bet that another 100 articles will be written this year extolling the virtues of the only member of the NFL 75th Anniversary team not yet inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Wide Receiver, Marvin Harrison is back at number 3. We were shocked last year when he did not get inducted, but it should only be a matter of time. Chuck Howley and Ken Stabler are back though both have moved up a spot to 4 and 5 respectively.
The second highest debut is that of Wide Receiver, Torry Holt, who takes over the number 8 spot, though there are other new entries in the top twenty-five. Offensive Linemen, Kevin Mawae and Orlando Pace enter at 15 and 18 respectively. Edgerrin James has also been receiving a lot of Hall of Fame buzz and cracks our top twenty at the number 19 slot.
Holt and Pace represent “The Greatest Show on Turf” St. Louis Rams, which won Super Bowl XXXIV in the 1999 season. They are joined by teammates Isaac Bruce (Wide Receiver at 22) and Kurt Warner (Quarterback at 31). The ranking of Warner was particularly difficult as the former NFL MVP has had phenomenal seasons and seasons of mediocrity, and nothing really in between.
There is one more former player now eligible, as Cornerback, Ty Law enters at 68.
