Football List revised: Brett Favre now #1

Not in Hall of Fame News
As Free Agency, blockbuster trades and shocking retirements are rocking the National Football League we here at Notinhalloffame.com have completed our revisions for the next potential class for the Football Hall of Fame.
Annually a major shift in the top ten always occurs with newly inducted players who are to be removed and newly eligible players with serious Hall of Fame credentials.
To review, the following players were chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and have been removed from our Notinhalloffame.com list:
Junior Seau #1
Will Shields #7
Charles Haley #10
Tim Brown #12
Jerome Bettis #16
Mick Tingelhoff #25
Four brand new eligible players have been named to the revised list, three of which made the new top ten.
Claiming the top spot is former Quarterback, Brett Favre who is entering his first year of eligibility. Favre retired with multiple high profile passing records and will be entering the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame this year. Many (including us) expect that Favre will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame immediately.
Another legendary Packer, Jerry Kramer is ranked at #2, the same as he was last year behind Junior Seau. Kramer has long been considered by football fans of all teams to be one of the biggest omissions in any Hall of Fame. Kramer, who we have had the pleasure of interviewing before was a member of both Super Bowl I and II winning team.
Former Indianapolis Colts Wide Receiver, Marvin Harrison returns at the #3 spot. We have been vocal here about how Harrison has been snubbed the past two years.
Dallas Cowboys standout and Super Bowl V MVP, Chuck Howley also returns to the same ranking at #4.
Alan Faneca debuts at #5. The former Pittsburgh Steeler Offensive Lineman is a six time First Team All Pro and a Super Bowl Champion.
Faneca’s debut drops former Oakland Raider Quarterback, Ken Stabler to #6.
The most controversial addition, Terrell Owens makes his first appearance on the Notinhalloffame.com Football list at #7, and we can’t wait to see what the Pro Football Hall of Fame committee does with him.
The additions of Favre, Owens and Faneca drop former Pittsburgh Steeler, L.C. Greenwood to #8.
Torry Holt also drops one spot to #9, as did Johnny Robinson who is now #10.
The only other new entry is Darren Sharper, who makes his first appearance on the Notinhalloffame.com football list at #66.
As always we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support and ask all of you to give your comments, issue votes and let us know what you think.

Regular visitors to our website know that we will be launching in 2016 our fourth section which will discuss and rank the North American franchises from the four major leagues (MLB, NHL, NBA & NFL) and how they honor their past players and contributors.
With that in mind, it was announced by the Orlando Magic that former Center, Shaquille O’Neal will become the third member of their franchise’s Hall of Fame.
The Magic would draft the big man from LSU with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft and in his first week as a professional would win the NBA Player of the Week honors; the first player to do so. He would make the All Star Team, win the NBA Rookie of the Year and average 23.4 Points and 13.9 Rebounds per Game in his rookie year and was a bona fide star in the game of basketball.
Over the next three years in Orlando, O’Neal would continue growing his game and his brand, and would win the scoring title in 1995 and would be named to a pair of Second Team All NBA teams, a Third Team All NBA, and three more All Star Games. Shaq would also take Orlando to their first NBA Finals in 1995. Overall as a member of the Magic, Shaquille O’Neal would score 27.2 Points and 12.5 Rebounds in his four seasons there.
We would like to congratulate Shaquille O’Neal for receiving this honor.

Speculated yesterday, but made official today, San Francisco 49er Linebacker, Patrick Willis has announced that at the age of 30 he will be retiring from active competition in the National Football League.
The news has taken many by surprise in the Bay Area as Willis had previously told media and fans that he was planning to return to the gridiron.
Drafted eleventh overall by the Niners in 2007 out of the University of Mississippi, Patrick Willis would make an immediate impact going to his first of seven consecutive Pro Bowls, becoming one of only three defensive players to make seven straight trips to Hawaii in his first seven years.
In his rookie year, Willis would also make lead the NFL in Tackles, make the First Team All Pro Team, the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and win the NFL Alumni Linebacker of the Year Award. Accolades would keep coming his way as Willis would secure four more First Team All Pro nods (2009-12) and two more NFL Alumni Linemen of the Year Awards (2009 & 2010). The Linebacker would also be named the San Francisco 49ers MVP twice.
Although he only played eight seasons, Willis was an elite Linebacker and an excellent candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
We would like to thank Patrick Willis for the memories on the field and wish him the best on the next aspect of his life.
Maurice Jones-Drew Retires

After nine seasons in the National Football League, Running Back, Maurice Jones-Drew has elected to formally retire as a player.
Chosen in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Maurice Jones-Drew would eventually become the face of the franchise and for a three year period would be regarded as one of the top Running Backs in the NFL. Jones-Drew would make the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons (2009-11), would be a First Team All Pro in 2011 and would win the NFL Alumni Running Back of the Year Award in both 2010 and 2011.
2011 would also see Jones-Drew win the Rushing Title, but in the last three seasons, the final one with the Oakland Raiders, injuries would accumulate and he would not be able to tally 1,000 Rushing Yards in a season again.
Overall, “MJD” retires with 7,168 Rushing Yards, 2,514 Receiving Yards, 2,187 Return Yards and a total of 76 Touchdowns.
Maurice Jones-Drew is likely not a Pro Football Hall of Fame and it will be difficult for him to grab a high ranking spot once eligible on our Notinhalloffame.com Football List but he should be recognized by the Jaguars for his accomplishments there and giving the fans a reason to go the stadium when the team was not especially good.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Maurice Jones-Drew on a great career and we look forward to see what he will do next.
