Bryant Young is eligible for HOF next year, does he make it in?

My bad, DEFENSIVE LINE lol. Long night and was in a slight hurry.

Does a bear poop on the pope in the woods? Hell, yes

No. Great player, but it crazy difficult to make the Hall.

They (mainly Sando) want to put Cortez in. That lazy fatass cruised in the late part of his career. If he gets in and BY doesn't, I'll be pissed. I think they exclude coaches and players from the voting because they could carry loyalties or grudges, but the sportswriters are even worse about that stuff (Sando made his bones covering the Seahawks).

He probably won't, but he definitely should.

He should have gone to quite a few more Pro Bowls too.

One of the best I've ever seen at his position. Better than his contemporaries as well IMO (but played on lesser teams a good chunk of his career).

Warren Sapp is also eligible next year. I think he will get in first or second ballot. How does Bryant Young stack up to Warren? Surprisingly, they have a similar # of sacks. Warren's NFL stats below.

In 2000s:

Bryant Young (7 seasons 109 games for 41.5 sacks for 5.9 per season, 0 double digit sack seasons (9.5 in 2000).... 5 and under sack seasons: 4)

Almost makes you wonder how close he was to making that all decade team.....
