The Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, a place where illegal immigrants are not eating your household pets, has announced a list of 60 players from the twentieth century up for honorific consideration. We have opinions, of course, based in analytic fact, historical context, and expert perspective, and we’re going to spend this NFL Thursday going through the 60-player list below.

We’re going to start with the quarterbacks, and from the seniors list, we choose Cincinnati Bengals star Ken Anderson and journeyman Jim Plunkett. The former was a two-time pick of ours for NFL MVP (1981–1982), while the latter won two Super Bowls with the Raiders franchise, including his MVP performance in Super Bowl XV. Anderson also won four QB rating titles in his career; Plunkett was the epitome of fortitude.

In the running backs category, we’re choosing both Minnesota Vikings legend Chuck Foreman and San Francisco 49ers stalwart Roger Craig. We anointed Foreman with two MVP awards (1974, 1976), and Craig was the first player to rush for 1,000 yards and catch passes for 1,000 yards in the same season (1985). He also topped the NFL in 1988 with 2,036 yards from scrimmage, while winning three Super Bowls with S.F.

When it comes to wide receivers, we only have one pick: Green Bay Packers superhero Sterling Sharpe. His career was cut short due to injuries, but in just seven seasons? He accomplished a lot—including, again, being our NFL MVP pick twice (1992, 1993). Sharpe never missed a game in his career, too, so if it wasn’t for the severe neck issues, he would have made the Hall a long time ago. His statistical output is impressive.

The rest of the positional guys we will go through a little more quickly. Offensive lineman Chris Hinton was originally known best as the dude in the John Elway trade between the Baltimore Colts and the Denver Broncos, but he made seven Pro Bowls in his first nine NFL seasons and was a dominant player. And with 106 total sacks, Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Ed “Too Tall” Jones should be in the Hall by now, too.

We’re not sure why Minnesota Vikings ironman Jim Marshall is not in Canton already, either: with 130.5 sacks overall, he was a big part of the famous Purple People Eaters defensive line. Meanwhile, linebacker Pat Swilling totaled 107.5 sacks in just 12 seasons, and he helped the New Orleans Saints reach their first postseason ever early in his career. From 1989-1993, he made five straight Pro Bowls as a defensive terror.

Dick Anderson was one of the anchors of the No-Name Defense that led the Miami Dolphins to the first and only perfect season ever in 1972, while also winning a second Super Bowl in 1973. Injuries cut his career short, but he had 32 interceptions in his first 84 games before he started struggling at age 28 because of physical challenges. Meanwhile, Raiders cornerback Lester Hayes re-defined the position in the 1980s.

He made five straight Pro Bowls (1980-1984), helped the Silver & Black win two Super Bowls (1980, 1983), and topped the league with 13 INTs in 1980 before opponents just stopped throwing the ball his way: the first true shutdown corner. And with 57 total INTs, Everson Walls led his peers in INTs three times in his first five NFL seasons to join Hayes in that exclusive club of post-1978 corners who just got the job done.

All these players should have been voted into the Hall of Fame a long time ago. Do the right thing now, NFL.
