The top Wide Receiver at Fresno State, Davante Adams joined the Green Bay Packers as a Second Round Pick in 2011. Adams was just under 500 Yards in each of his two seasons, but in his third season, he broke out as a top option.

Adams went to his first of five straight Pro Bowls, with the latter two years establishing him as one of the top players at this position.  A First Team All-Pro in both 2020 and 2021, Adams led the NFL in Touchdowns with 18 in 2020, and had another three 10-plus years in that metric.  Emerging as the favorite target for Aaron Rodgers, Adams had 1,374 Yards and 1,553 Yards in 2020 and 2021 respectively, and was the top offensive weapon for one of the most feared teams in the NFL.  The Packers made the playoffs six times with Adams on the squad, and were Super Bowl contenders through the majority of his time as a Packer. 

As we approach the impending 2022 pre-season, we know that it will begin without one of the best Offensive Lineman of the 2010s, Mitchell Schwartz, who has announced that he is retiring from professional football.

Drafted in the Second Round from California in 2012 by the Cleveland Browns, Schwartz won the starting Right Tackle job as a rookie, and started every game for Cleveland for his four years as an NFL player.  Schwartz signed with Kansas City in 2016 as a Free Agent, and it quietly became one of the best signing in franchise history.

Schwartz took his play to the next level with the Chiefs, earning four consecutive All-Pros (three Second Team and one First Team), and was instrumental in the protection of Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who led Kansas City to a Super Bowl win in LIV.  Kansas City’s running game was also stellar with Schwartz anchoring the line.

A back injury in 2020, put him on the shelf after six Games, and he was released after the season.  After sitting out 2021, Schwartz elected to call it a career.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Mitchell Schwartz the best in his post-playing career.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Buffalo Bills.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Buffalo had an excellent season, reaching the AFC Championship, and are poised another run for the Super Bowl in 2022.

Last year, has led to some significant elevations on our list and two new entrants.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change from last year.

1. Bruce Smith

2. Thurman Thomas

3. O.J. Simpson

4. Jim Kelly

5. Andre Reed

You can find the entire list here.

Superstar Quarterback, Josh Allen, makes his first appearance on the list at #38.  The other new addition is Linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds, who takes the last spot at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Now that the dust has settled of the 2022/23 Season, and the 2022 Hockey Hall of Fame Class has been set, it is time for us at Notinhalloffame.com to revise our list of the top 300 players who are worthy of HOF consideration.

The process, while time consuming, is a simple one:

• Remove the players who were elected (Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Roberto Luongo and Daniel Alfredsson.
• Add those who are now eligible (for 2023),
• Factor in your comments and votes and adjust the list accordingly.

Unlike other years, there is only one sure fire top new entry, and only three over all.

Let’s get right to it!

The entire list can be found here, but here is the new top ten.

The top new entry, Henrik Lundqvist, also enters at #1.  The Swedish Goalie is a former Vezina Trophy winner, and the career New York Ranger is arguably the best netminder in the history of the storied Original Six franchise, and he was outstanding internationally for Sweden.  Lundqvist is a lock for next year, but this opens it up for many on this top ten.

Alexander Mogilny, who once was at #1, climbs back close to the top spot at #2.  The Russian sniper once scored 76 Goals in a season and he was selected for six All-Star Games.  He also won an Olympic Gold Medal for the Soviet Union in 1988.

Theoren Fleury reached #3.  Fleury was and is a controversial figure in Hockey, having been open about his drug problems, likely as a result of being a sexual abuse victim.  That likely resulted in Fleury not achieving the statistical lines that would have put him in already, but his current right wing stance, right or wrong, could repel the committee.  Regardless, you have elevated him to this spot.

Like Fleury, Jeremy Roenick has a controversial bias that also hampers him.  The American went to nine All-Star Games, and had over 1,200 career NHL Points.  He is at number 4.

At one point, we had Don Cherry at #1, and was the only non-player to be ranked.  Controversy has since followed, and while we do not rank non-plyaers anymore, he is grandfathered in.  He is at #5, one of his lowest slots since we began this site, primarily based on your votes dropping on the list.

Pierre Turgeon, the answer to the question of who scored the most Points of any player not in the Hall is at #6.  He is a four-time All-Star.

Coming in at #7 is John LeClair.  The power forward has been a two-time First Team and three-time Second Team All-Star.

At #8, is Claude Provost.  The former Montreal Canadian won nine Stanley Cups with the Habs, and individually was an 11-time All-Star.

With Lundqvist, Mike Richter, is not this year’s highest ranked Goalie, but this is his highest spot.  He is number 9.

Rounding out the top ten is Bernie Nicholls, who is in the rare group of hockey players who lit the lamp at least 70 times in an NHL campaign.

As always, we thank you for your support!
