And he won't make it for the Class of 2024 either, since the three Senior Finalists were already named: "recently named Seniors Finalists Randy Gradishar, Steve McMichael and Art Powell" 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Larry Centers, now that's a name I forgot about. Guy played FB & was a pass catching machine. Pretty sure he holds a lot of reception records for the position right? And I'm always pro-Ruben Brown, so hope he makes it Edit: How is Marc Bulger a nominee? Does just everyone that was above average for a couple seasons get on the list? Edited September 20, 2023 by BigDingus 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just a “very good” player? Respectfully disagree. The only draw back on him is “defensive tackle”. Dude was legit one of the best Nose Tackles I’ve ever seen play football in nearly 40 years of watching… The others? Definite case for not making it. Can see how they are more very good and not great. Again, those are more MPO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was legit one of the best Nose Tackles I’ve ever seen play football in nearly 40 years of watching… And of course, half the board here wanted him. But Buffalo drafted Donte Whitner (and John McCargo) to star in Dick Jauron's new Tampa 2 system...sigh.
