26CornerBlitz Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Lewis, Moss, Owens, and Johnson. Not really sold on anyone else. Which semifinalists should get in? Pro Football Hall of Fame voters have narrowed down the Class of 2018 to 27 semifinalists. Which of them deserves to get in? Have your say here by casting votes for the 15 finalists. The Pro Football Hall of Fame's selection process for the Class of 2018 has officially begun. The 48-person committee has compiled an initial list of 108 modern-era nominees from which 27 semi-finalists have been selected. This list will be further reduced to the 15 finalists, who will be unveiled in January. We now invite you to evaluate the careers and legacies of these all-time greats and select who you think should advance to the next round of consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2018.

You know, I was going to put Jimmie Johnson, but thought it was too early. But you're right, he should be in there. F Ray Lewis. Accessory to murder.

He might be but he's also respected as one of the best MLB to ever play in the NFL which helps his cause to make the HOF. I can see the debate with the whole murder thing as hell I totally disrespect him as a human being but I can respect his play on the football field as an on the field leader and great talent.

After that I'll add Lewis and Moss. He was a great innovator. I loved watching his teams in both St. Louis with Jim Hart and in San Diego with Fouts. Those Charger teams with Jefferson (follwed by Wes Chandler), Joiner, Winslow, Muncie, and Brooks were so much fun to watch. His teams could never get to the promised land and that is what holds him back from the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Personally I'd rank them Moss, Coryell and Lewis but those are the top 3. TO is #4. Moss might be the best football player I've ever seen.

Rob's House Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The HOF is a joke until TO is in. I don't know how anyone can even argue against him with a straight face. He was one of the biggest stars of a generation. People who don't even watch football know who he is. Anyone who leaves him off the ballot should have his voting rights stripped IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports writers anyway. The guy was never convicted of anything and it's hardly an OJ case . Lewis was an awesome player , one of my all time favorites to watch and I hold nothing against him whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
