Patterson is here primarily because he was the All-Decade selection as a Returner.  Sadly, more prominent All-Decade returners failed to make it as even a Semi-Finalist.  The four-time First Team All-Pro is a free agent, and it looks like his resume has been completed.  Since we have seen expert returners like Billy "White Shoes" Johnson fail to make it as a Finalist, what chance will Patterson have?

Baker is already a seven-time Pro Bowl Selection (with a six-year streak_ and a two-time First Team All-Pro.  He is a tackling machine who led the NFL in Solo Tackles in 2019. Although his AV/G is lower than the MPA, his stature among his peers is huge.

The bar for Safeties is high, and Baker (and his peers) have a lot of work to do to gain serious Hall of Fame consideration, but if the NFL were to award All-Half-Decade Awards, Baker would be one.  Still under 30, Baker is the prime spot for a coveted All-Decade spot, and when that happens, you are always in consideration.

Minkah Fitzpatrick was traded back to the team that dealt him to Pittsburgh, the Miami Dolphins, and since he debuted in 2018, he has been one of the top Safeties in Football. 

Fitzpatrick went to four Pro Bowls and earned three First Team All-Pros as a Steeler, and earned the reputation of having one of the highest football IQs.  Able to shift effortlessly in any Defensive Back position, Fitzpatrick is still in his prime.  If he remains healthy and replicates what he did the last five years, Canton should come calling, even though Safeties have a hard time gaining induction.
