Canton has released this year’s list of players nominated for the Hall of Fame. We weigh in on who is and isn’t deserving of football’s highest individual honor.
Curtis Martin: As one of the top-10 all-time rushers, he should be voted in now before his records are replaced by far more athletic running backs
Andre Reed: A perfect candidate for the Hall of Fame now that all the better receivers have been inducted
Jerome Bettis: When it came to big, bumbling tubs of forward-falling lard, Bettis was the best of his era
Shannon Sharpe: May deserve to be in the Hall, but keep in mind that he would then be allowed to make a speech
Willie Roaf: Listen, we understand offensive linemen aren’t supposed to score, but not even one touchdown? Come on
Cris Carter: With 1,101 career receptions, Carter had what could be considered the best hands in the league, as well as the best thighs and ass
Chris Hanburger: Nope
Deion Sanders: Recently held a gala ceremony inducting all 260 current Hall of Famers into the Deion Sanders Hall of Fame
