doesn't he have a MVP?

ya he was voted Most Valuable Playa in Georgia before those rape allegations.

Larry Fitz, unfortunately Moss (maybe not for the first few years of eligibility) and hopefully someday Andre Johnson.

just rattling off names

that cool. I thought of Ed Reed right away but after reading this thread I think Polumalu gets in also.

a long shot might be Hines Ward b/c he's pretty well rounded, praised for his blocking, won Super Bowls, and it pains to me to say it but being a Steeler probably helps too.

Hines Ward is a hell no. He was never the best WR in the league so if you let him in then you must let a whole lot of WR's in also.

So Ray Lewis doesn't get in then? Since he was accused of murder.

obviously football doesn't consider much off the field allegations just ask Cam Newton. But honestly I think public opinion is worst on rape than it is murder, plus wasn't Lewis just an alleged accomplice?

I'm pretty sure he was Super Bowl MVP his rookie year.

I don't know but taking a life is worse than rape.

that's why I said long shot. He was a Super Bowl MVP though.

if he can play for roughly 5 more years he should be top 5 in total yards, top 10 TD's for WR's, top 10 total receptions, has 4 probowls, 2 all pros, has a ring

When Rivers or Rogers is even in one SB then talk to me. Until then Ben is clearly ahead of them in any HOF talk. The guy is the leader of a team that won 2 SBs and won an MVP. I almost think its a no brainer that he makes it in unless his career takes some crazy downturn.
