There are those few players who are "automatic" Hall Of Famers; requires very little thought and are usually just patiently waiting for their first 5 years of retirement, required for eligibility, to be given their Gold Jacket. The rest are usually log-jammed for years to come, unfortunately. The Football Hall Of Fame is the most pure and prestigious of all the sports and the most difficult to get enshrined into. When the "Ultimate Team Sport" acknowledges a single players superiority over their position AND the longevity of their reign. In layman's term; who was the BEST for the LONGEST amount of time?
1.) Antonio Gates, TE [1st Ballot HOF]
2.) Julius Peppers, DE [1st Ballot HOF]
3.) Devin Hester, KR/PR
4.) Andre Johnson, WR
5.) Patrick Willis, LB
