2011 Hall Of Fame Finalists

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
