Hoping the "Edge" gets the knock on his hotel door this evening ...

He won't, and that's a shame. When you are top 5 RB of your era and rushing champ your first 2 years in the league, surpassing 1500 yds 4 times and 2000 yds from scrimmage twice over a 10+ yr. career, you should be an absolute lock!

Yep, he didn't make it this year and that is a shame. But predictable.

"(He) was just tough, was durable, unselfish, (could) block, catch, pick up the blitz, (was) one of the best teammates I ever had,” Peyton Manning said on WFNI-1070 AM in August 2016. “I certainly hope he is the next (Hall of Famer) because he's due, and he deserves it."

Here's who did make it.

Randy Moss, Brian Urlacher, Ray Lewis, Brian Dawkins, Terrell Owens, Jerry Kramer, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard, per media reports.

He will get in in the next few years.

Every other RB that has reached 12000 yards is in or will be in the HOF

It's hard to argue with that list of modern candidates. That is a pretty strong list.

He will get in sometime in the next couple of years.

Walk Worthy,

I'll argue with TO. He's a puss!

edge deserves to get in and i am looking forward to it


he was such an underrated running back.

There is no way he is left out of the HOF much longer.

He was 1st team NFL all decade for the 2000s at RB. He and LT. Basically the second best RB of his generation.

Not sure what more you need as proof he belongs in than that.

He was like the last RB teams were willing to take in the top 2 and live up and exceed expectations. The guy was a complete RB we don't see anymore.

Imagine of the Colts took Ricky Williams?

I so miss the Edge. That year he was injured sucked the life out of that team.
