I feel like Hester could easily be the headliner of this class. I mean, just put together a 5 minute highlight reel. That's enough to send chills to anyone who watched him during his glory days, fans or not.

I don’t think he makes it imo and it’ll be a shock

He's definitely got the most individual moments that are burned into the memory of football fans of all the finalists, which should help him quite a bit compared to guys like Torry Holt, who you know was good for a long time, but you can't visually recall those specific game changing or defining moments of his career in the same way.

For every player that is HOF worthy, a common question that gets passed around is "When will we see their like again?"

Well, to get another Hester, you would have to change the rules of the game. That simple, really. There wont be another guy who changes the game like Hester until then.

When do they get announced? I don't want to watch the whole show, as aren't these 'awards' like known for a long time?

I was wondering the same thing bc I don’t think I’ve ever watched it.

Don't want to say I told you so for the last 15 years

Bear's meatball fans understand less than they think about the NFL and how HOF voters value players.

To Devin, you were a great player but just fell short of the ultimate honor. You should be proud
