As we continue to work on our new projects at Notinhalloffame.com, we never forget about our core lists. We are therefore happy to announce that we have revised our list of those to consider for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The players we rank are determined by traditional statistics, advanced statistics (where applicable), playoff accomplishments, and accolades, but are adjusted annually based on your input and comments. It's a fun process for us, made even better by all of you!
The entire list can be found here, but traditionally, whenever we announce a major list revision, we give you the top ten:
At #1 is Drew Brees. Brees enters the ballot for the first time and should easily cruise into Canton. The former Quarterback led the Saints to their only Super Bowl win, and is a 13-time Pro Bowl and two-time Offensive Player of the Year. He also threw for a staggering 80,358 Yards and 571 Touchdowns.
#2 is Larry Fitzgerald. The longtime Wide Receiver is also in his first year of eligibility and is likely to receive the necessary support for immediate induction. He compiled 17,492 Yards with 121 Touchdowns, and was chosen for 11 Pro Bowls. Fitzgerald is also a former Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner.
#3 is Luke Kuechly. Playing his entire career with the Carolina Panthers, Kuechly was a Finalist last year and likely fell off due to the small class. Entering year two of his candidacy, the former Defensive Player of the Year is our top-ranked defensive player.
#4 is Marshal Yanda. Like Kuechly, Yanda is in his second year of eligibility and was a Finalist last year. The former Offensive Lineman was an eight-time Pro Bowl Selection and owns a Super Bowl ring with the Baltimore Ravens.
#5 is L.C. Greenwood. A member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ four Super Bowl teams from the 1970s, Greenwood was also a two-time First Team All-Pro, All-Decade Selection, and six-time Pro Bowler.
#6 is Lavvie Dilweg. We go way back on this one, as Dilweg, who last played in 1931. Nominated in 2020 as part of the Centennial Class, the End was a three-time NFL Champion with the Green Bay Packers and was a five-time First Team All-Pro.
#7 is Jason Witten. We have a third new entrant in Witten, who had 11 Pro Bowls, 13,046 Yards, and 74 Touchdowns. He is the highest-ranked Tight End.
#8 is Ken Anderson. Anderson won all versions of the MVP in 1981 and was also a four-time Pro Bowl Selection. He has been gaining traction in recent years among senior voters.
#9 is Torry Holt. The celebrated Wide Receiver and Super Bowl Champion with the St. Louis Rams has been a Finalist the last six years. He has 920 Receptions, 13,439 Yards, and 71 Touchdowns and was chosen for seven Pro Bowls.
#10 is Terrell Suggs. Suggs was first eligible last year and made it to the Finals, boding well for an impending induction. He won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, was the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, has 139 Sacks, and is the all-time leader in Tackles for Loss (202).
Notably, the other first-time eligibles are Frank Gore (#19), Philip Rivers (#21), Maurkice Pouncey (#50), Geno Atkins (#80), LeSean McCoy (#110), David DeCastro (#198), Jurell Casey (#244), and Mitchell Schwartz (#294).
