Each year, between four and eight individuals who have been retired for at least five seasons get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They are immortalized as some of the best the game has ever seen-and you can tell just how much it means to a lot of those guys.
But not everyone loves the NFL Hall of Fame selection process, as it has somehow forgotten about some of the game’s truly special players.
Let’s take a look back at some of the guys that simply NEED to be in the Hall of Fame now!

Not only has Zach Thomas been snubbed by the Hall of Fame, but now he's been snubbed by your video
I posted a comment about this as well and the thing is Zach Thomas put up better stats than Brian Urlacher who is in the hall of fame
@@joshuastevens2202 it's sad that Thomas is forgotten about. Has 60 more tackles and 5 more forced fumbles than Urlacher yet Urlacher was a first ballot HOFer
@@NP148 exactly but then again they do the dolphins dirty a lot
LOL! Sorry, Zach 😳
It's because he plays for Miami and he hasn't won a ring which is Total bs by the nfl
Idea: Top 10 Best Receiving Duos of All Time
Yes like Mike Evans a Chris godwin
Oooh, that’s a great video idea!!
Best duos in general, like db, olb etc
Chris Carter and Randy Moss
Stefon diggs and Adam theilen
What about Fred Dryer, he had an outstanding career on one of the best D-lines in football. 104 sacks in 13 seasons 2 safeties in one game (NFL record)
And he was Hunter!!
All this time I thought Eddie George was in. They need to add the great Sterling Sharpe
I’m waiting for sterling sharpe aka my fav player ever
He didn't play long enough to make it but if he played 5 more years he would've made it
@Ryan Davis is for his postseason work
Sayers wouldn’t get in now
Totally agree and I'm a Vikings fan. But Sterling absolutely deserves it and was fun to watch the incredible talent and athleticism.
@@jimschleich8753 Sterling definitely deserve too be in the Hof he was the second best receiver in the game only behind rice and that was close
Holt, absolutely belongs. Boselli was the best LT in football for about 4 years, he should be in. LC Greenwood belongs in. LeRoy Butler MUST be in. Riley too.
I think LC Greenwood was the victim of his teams greatness he was over shadowed by mean joe lambert and ham but you are right he belongs in the the hall of fame as to toeh others you mentioned
Where's Ken Anderson from the Cincinnati bengals?
He deserves it, but from a guy who has family near Cincinnati you could honestly make a good argument for boomer esiason he has decent numbers had injuries not have ended his career he’d be in, Phil Simms is another one that I think belongs in, he has the numbers was a top 12 QB of the 80s but was plagued by injuries, same with Joe theisman he has the numbers and a super bowl ring but he got injured toward the end of his prime years. Joe theisman was a top 15 QB in the 80s he had the numbers but injuries plagued him.
Even Ray Lewis says Zach Thomas should be in the HOF.
Thomas? Thought he played at Texas tech? Did he transfer from miami
@B.J. Banditt Zach Thomas played for Texas Tech he didnt play with Lewis in college.
@B.J. Banditt No problem. Have a great day!
What did Ray say when the cameras weren't in his face?
Eddie George stiff arm on Ray Lewis deserves its own award
So true
Yesss
Wow. I had forgotten all about that..... Yes
Man Eddie was a beast
Eddie geroge was a good player Alabama running back
Steve Tasker!!! 7x first team all pros need to be in the Hall of Fame no matter what position they played. Same goes for Matt Slater in a couple of years
And the fact that they made special teams a Pro Bowl position because of his impact on the game
Every single player on your list deserves to be in. Add Ken Anderson as well.
@@andrewr7395 and lemar Parrish as a DB had 47 ints and 13 TD's 8 pro bowls on 2 different teams should've been a no brainer for the Hof
Great point. If a kicker and a punter can get there it is a team a special team player gets there and Tasker was the best at that.
Roger Craig and Tom Ratman totally underrated should be in the HOF! 🤦🏻♂️
You forgot possibly the greatest WR with a short career due to injury. Sterling Sharpe.
If Roger Craig didn’t fumble in the 1990 nfc championship he probably would be in canton
He’s one of the most underrated runningbacks and players of all time
I agree. Also, I think he'd have stayed with 49ers for few more years too. 49ers chose not to resign him during off season since he fumbled ball against NYG at NFC championship game that cost win for 49ers. That did same happen to Earnst Byner against Denver Broncos.
Agreed
With Dickerson and Payton already being inducted and Craig playing in that era he should already be in the Hall.. He just about matched both of them step for step when football was played the way it was meant to be played.
@B.J. Banditt well Craig and I'm completely spacing on the fullback, but they were the real heroes for the creation of the "West Coast" offense. That entire new age offense back then would've failed had they not had a dynamic backfield like they did. Their entire scheme was predicated off of the play-action pass and the screen. And RC ran the screen better than any back in those days and that essentially opened up the running game cuz the 49ers had defenses stretched to the max. They didn't know whether to stay in base, blitz, or drop back in zone. That is what created their dynasty. Then Ronnie Lott and crew gained steam and then it was game over. Roger Craig was truly a pioneer in creating on of the more lethal offensive schemes when football used to be run run pass.
Couldn't agree more... But should one fumble overshadow an entire career and keep him out of Canton?
Cliff branch has been long overdue
Asante Samuel the guy was one of the best corners when he played in the NFL. And the guy has 2 Super Bowl rings, 2X 1st time all pro, 1 2nd team all pro, 4 pro bowls, 2x NFL interceptions leader, Patriots all-2000s team, has 51 interceptions on his resume and 164 pass deflections.
Fred Taylor? Reggie Wayne? Andre Johnson? theres plenty of players who get snubbed
Jimmy smith
Donovan Mcnabb
@@michaelmyers147 no
Most of all of those players you have named retired in the last 10 to 15 years that's not being snubbed if they haven't been elected in that sort a time. When it takes as long as it took Drew Pearson to get elected then you can say that
I love Fred Taylor, but he unfortunately only went to 1 pro bowl and was second team all-pro once. The writers who choose (who idt should make the decisions) seem to focus more on the accolades rather than overall stats which is stupid cuz the man had seven 1,000yd seasons, has over 10,000 rushing yards and over 2,000 receiving yards
John Abraham, Zach Thomas and Jared Allen definitely deserve to be in the HOF. Abraham: 133.5 sacks, 5 pro bowls, 2 time first team all-pro and 1 time second team all-pro. Thomas: 7 pro bowls, 5 time first team all-pro, 2 time second team all-pro, DROY. Allen: 136 sacks, 5 pro bowls, 4 time first team all-pro, 2 time leader in sacks.
Thomas also had a 133 tackles per season avg which is higher than ray lewis
Lester Hayes should be in, he was considered one of the best cornerbacks of the 80"s, he had 39 interceptions and he is a member of the all decade team of the 80"s
Yes .. For sure Lester for Hall of Fame.. Lester Hayes had his own Nike commercial before Jordan came along. Nobody played CB like Lester... Hard Hitter, Extremely difficult to get past off the line, Shut down specialist, Baited QB's and gave them INT's.
Steve Tasker needs to be on this list.
Randall Cunningham. Everything Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson did, Cunningham did first. Third all time rushing yards by a QB, 4x pro bowler, comeback player of the year, 2x all pro, and comparable stats to other Hall of Famers. How is this man not on your list?
For real though. Cunningham was incredible to watch. He's from before my time but I've watched a bunch of his games.
That's coming from a guy who dislikes the Eagles 😄
Everyone talks about Cunningham, but no one gives him the real credit he deserves. Randle Cunningham for the HOF!
ngl I kind of just assumed that he was in the hall of fame
@@WarloyJenkins same
@@WarloyJenkins Many people do. The fact that people assume he's in the HOF further proves how much he deserves it.
Mark Clayton (Miami Dolphins) belongs on this list.
And that other Mark Too. Mark Duper
Mike Alsott deserved to be in the hall of fame
Holy shit, Mike Alscott??? HOF'er really??? For what???
He can go in w/Steve Tasker
👎 Both good player but...Come on, there's 100 more deserving players. It's the HOF
@@thereilneid2868 while yes a fullback isn’t a highly used position mike alsott was one of the best to ever play it he had better stats then most full backs excluding the 50,60, and early 70’s fullbacks that were used as much as running backs but alsott’s stats were high for a fullback at that time and his highlights are great as well. It’s a crime that he isn’t even considered for it. Other players that should get in are ronde barber and Simeon rice
@@thereilneid2868 He is one of the best fullbacks of all time fullbacks deserve spots in the HOF
I think a big problem with the HOF is they focus too much on if the player has superbowl ring. There's a ton of players that did amazing things, but were just on some absolute shit teams or teams that just couldn't compete as whole on that level.
What about my boy Zach Thomas from the Dolphins
I believe a lot of players should be inducted like clay Matthews II, Zach Thomas, Randall Cunningham, I hate him but Hines ward should be there (I am a browns fan), Sterling Sharpe should be in there he got the triple crown and if he never got hurt he would be known as one of the best receivers of all time.
Clay Matthews Jr. definitely didn't have a particularly sustained peak. Ironic when his dad was a solid performer for at least a dozen years. Thomas belongs but basically got overlooked because the 90's Dolphins tended to be mediocre at best on defense (besides Thomas of course). Cunningham belongs because he did a lot in an era where Quarterbacks didn't get as much protection as they do now. Plus he had a great comeback season in 1998.
@@ryanjacobson2508 I agree bro Cunningham was elite for a few years then came back those vikings should have went all the way
The biggest problem a lot of these players face is that while they were playing, several others were every bit as good as them or better. During the early part of the 2000's several teams had bell cow running backs that racked up big yards. Then the focus shifted to the passing game and a lot of players had 1000 yard seasons yearly. MANY people should be in the Hall of Very Good, but the HOF should be the best of the best. That said I imagine several of these players will make it in one day.
Well said 👏👏👏
@Fries good list but u forgot mongo McMichael and Sterling sharpe. If sayers is in, sharpe should be in w injuries cutting short his career
Eddie George and Torry Holt definitely deserve 2 be in the hof
Hines Ward he was one of the best receivers in the NFL until he retired. Sterling Sharpe as well because he was better than Jerry Rice until his career ending injury happened
Injurys suck but it doesnt matter how good u where before if matters how good ur career was sterling injury fd him up
I don't know about better then Rice but I won't doubt it either. Shan even says his big bro was better then him
How dare you!!!!!!! Slow down......lol 😮 Sterling was great but at all NO TIME was he EVER better than Jerry Rice.
With Sharpe i dont believe he will make it into the Hall.. They judge the players body of work over their entire playing career. And sadly Sharpes body of work was snuffed out way to soon. He would have had stats comparable to Rice had he not been injured. Sean Taylor is pretty much in the same boat unfortunately..
Nobody was better than Rice sorry.
You say that the coaches' lack of faith early in Tiki Barber's career is curious, but your lack of remembering his horrible fumbling problem is even more curious.
What about Steve Tasker? He’s easily the greatest and most explosive special-teams player of all-time and he still hasn’t gotten past that “semi-finalist” title
yet Hester gets slurped
Here's a joke, Question: Why can't Cam Newton use the phone anymore? Answer: Because he can't find the receiver.
Still can't figure out how Ken Anderson isn't in the HOF. Must be that Bengal's magic.
Me to now!!!!!
@@petebentley3156 don't forget lemar Parrish Ken Reilly Parrish 8 pro bowls and 13 TDS as a DB
I agree 100%
If Ken Anderson and the Bengals win that Super Bowl, he is in.
Look how Long it took Chris hamburger to get in DB lemar Parrish who went to 2 different teams and became a 8 time pro bowler with 13 TD's and 48 ints but not in I think 🤔 the sports writers need to be taken out of the election process there's to much bias going on that doesn't matter and u could include Cliff Branch. Ken Reilly and LBs chuck howley and Andy Russell
Jesse tuggle and London fletcher should be in the hall
Whenever I see this topic, the first names that come to my mind are Cliff Branch and Randy Gradishar. Both among the very best/most impactful at their positions for their era.
Unfortunately I feel they are victims of East Coast voter bias that was prevalent in the ‘70s and ‘80s
Cliff, yes. Gradishar, not even on my radar. The 1 Super Bowl I think he was in, the Cowboys smoked Denver 27-10. And, the defense was so bad, they couldn't get off the field with Dallas having a 38:38 to 21:22 time of possession disparity.
Ken Riley was very underrated
His teamate lemar Parrish went to 8 pro bowls in 13 yrs and 13 TDS as a DB
They get overlooked cause they played for the bengals
Sam Mills. Saints and Panthers career should be enough. Add in his 3 years with the USFL’s Stars (this is the Pro football HOF not the nFL HOF) then he should be a lock. Agree with Boselli and Riley though
Joe Jacoby, one of the best Ufa and linemen of the 80s and early 90s
@Ryan nope only, Russ Grimm is in. He has made it to the final ballot a few times.
What's interesting is @TPS mentioned Boselli, based on Pro Football Talk, he is two spots in front of Jacoby. Boselli 1 draft pick, Jacoby UDFA who beat out Mark May, 1 draft pick and consensus All American.
TPS: "Eddie George carried the Titans"
Steve NcNair just rolled in his grave
Even though he was grossly underrated and undersized...
Sam Mills definitely deserves a spot in the Hall. Despite all of his physical traits and playing on offensively challenged teams he was consistently one of the best MLB during the late 80's and 90's. And even though he is no longer with us he truly had a passion for football that never faded. RIP Shortstack!!
That Saints Defense especially the LBs were really good. Not to mention he played in the USFL and did great there.
this is my favorite guy from tps he just has the best voice.
No puts me to sleep 😴
@@ChiefGore429 if u wanna go to sleep this is the guy for u
Nathan Peterman is egregiously held off this list.
He's the worst NFL QB of all time.
@@alext1661 that’s the joke, mate.
@@alext1661 Christian Hackenberg is the worst and I'm a PSU fan.
Jim Marshall! People give him crap for his “wrong way fumble,” but the dude was an iron man, and you can’t talk about the Purple People Eaters without him. He has been snubbed for too damn long
I 100% agree with you Noah!!!
Should be in, but maybe the hall does not think DL on one team should be in.
Randy Gradishar not being in is just straight up not ok!
Steve tasker
What about Dwight Clark? Randy Cross? Roger Craig has to get into the hall of fame. I agree with this.
The HOF voters seem to dismiss the 80's Niners as a "system" team due to Bill Walsh's coaching innovations. Thus the actual players don't get much respect besides Montana, Rice, and maybe Ronnie Lott.
Sam Mills should be in the Hall of Fame. He was a key part and the on-field brains of not one, but TWO great NFL defenses: The New Orleans Saints' Dome Patrol defense and the early great Carolina Panther defense. His play and on-field play-calling (as in calling the opposing offense's play) helped create and cement Carolina's great defense reputation. Though he didn't have the large sack numbers, he was usually in the right place at the right time to make a play. It's a shame he's been snubbed.
ROGER CRAIG also was the 1ST player to have 1000 yards rushing and 1000 yards receiving in one season and he scored 3TDs in a superbowl
Zach Thomas was DOMINATE for a decade for Miami and gets over looked due to his teams lack of success and being over shadowed by Jason Taylor.
Lester Hayes.
How about Jim Marshall , HE IS 83 YEARS OLD, GET THE MAN IN !! holds numerous NFL that include the most seasons played by a defensive player (20,
Randy Gradishar... Broncos Linebacker.... The "Orange Crush" Defense.... Of course I am bias, but there are a couple guys from that Defense that got overlooked.... Louis Wright was one of the best corners to ever play the game, but because he played for a team that had never won a Superbowl, at the time, he was overlooked.... Billy Thompson, Tom Jackson.... The Broncos had the misfortune of existing during the Dallas and Pittsburg super team dynasties.
Clay Matthews Sr. (I'm sure Jr. will get in when he's eligible)
William "Refrigerator" Perry
Doug Williams
Bo Jackson
Mark Duper
Ronde Barber should be in the hall of fame for sure was a key component of that Tampa 2 defense in Tampa
100% agree as well as mike alsott and Simeon rice
Joe Jacoby. In the time period of his career, there was only one - ONE - offensive tackle that was better than him. That happened to be a guy named, uh, Anthony Munoz. Probably the best offensive tackle EVER, and arguably the best offensive lineman ever. Jake not in the HOF is like not electing Jack Lambert because his career happened to overlap LT's (most probably the greatest linebacker ever - the battles that he and Jacoby had, whoooooo boy!).
God how is Eddie George not already there
@Ryan But I do think Eddie George should be there before Terrell Davis.
My. Boy curtis Martin Eddie Eddie geroge John Abraham reggie Wayne Wayne crabecth larvnise coles Santana moss Anthony becht and Aaron Glenn keyshawn Johnson when he played for the jets in 98
I think Joe Klecko should be in, Nick Mangold too. Can't forget Devin Hester as well.
Nice list, but where's Joe Klecko?
sterling sharpe should also be in the HoF
Even in a list of snubs, Randy Gradishar gets snubbed.
I mean, didn't he average like 200 tackles for about a decade.
He should be in. Big part of that Orange Crush Defense.
Trace mcsorley,obviously
How London fletcher didn't make this list absolutely shows you how underrated and disrespectful the NFL treats my guy smh he's literally almost number for number wit ray Lewis but he not in the HOF im need redskins nation or better yet washington football team nation to rally with me on this one for the 1 time SB winner LF #HTTR4LIFE
Navarro Bowman
What's the iPhone's favorite football team?
The Chargers.
Eddie Meador Safety LosAngelous Rams deserves to be in Canton. Look this man up! He deserves it
I always forget Randall Cunnigham isn’t in the Hall of Fame, he should be
Jason Hanson, Kicker, Lions. Jason, and a lot of other players get over-looked because they are less impact players, but still important non the less.
#KickersArePeopleToo
bro if Eddie George belongs in the hall of fame so does Fred Taylor he has more yards, almost identical touchdowns and his yards per carry are better. Hard to believe he only went to one pro bowl and he was an alternate.
Where is Leroy butler
London Fletcher
London Fletcher
Fred Taylor 11,695 rushing yards and 66 Tds!
Sterling Sharpe, that’s my view
Sam Mills, john abraham, & london fletcher
Cliff Branch won Super Bowls , is that NOT , what people say , should get you in ? Worst cases for HOFers NOT getting in , Try Billy Howton , he was the NO # 1 ranked WR for yards & rec's , when he retired form the NFL , you CAN"T get any better then that ! How about a few AFL players & John Brodie , John HadL & Kenny Anderson , lets add Jim Hart , too ! Otis Anderson at RB ?
I would also add some more Kickers & punters , Jerrell Wilson form the Chiefs should have been the 1st PURE punter put in & sure in the hell he's still IS NOT ? Kickers , as a Chargers fan dealing with the lack of , for the past 5 to 10 years ? Any one that could have put up 1, 500 + points , a avg of 100 points for 15 years , come on guys ! 2 , 000 + points , should be a sure in ?
Zach Thomas
No Steve Tasker?
I agree with everything in this list.
Randy Gradishar defensive player of the year(1978) 6x all pros 7x pro bowls 7x all AFC, 200 average tackles a season for a decade totalling 2051 all time top ten for tackles to put that into perspective Lawrence Taylor has 1000 tackles less than him and he played 3 more years than Gradishar
The Broncos of the late 70's and 80's became something of a joke for their horrific playoff losses, causing HoF voters to look down on the Bronco players of that era.
What a barbers favorite basketball team.
The clippers
QBs: Phil Simms, Joe Theismann and Ken Anderson. Inside LB Randy Gradishar. He and Harry Carson helped identify the inside linebacker in the 3-4 defense. Carson took a while also. Tommy Nobis was said to be the equal of Dick Butkus as MLB for the fledgling Falcons.
Torry Holt and Reggie Wayne deserve to be in the hall of fame
Hall of fame is supposed to be hard if u arent the best of the best then no most of these players shouldnt be in here it also u have to be the best over ur career
I believe Eddie will get in as time goes on. The sheer power he ran with was unbelievable at times.
I agree about Eddie George, and also about Torry Holt. However, the one omission which rankles me the most is Bo Jackson. I know that many say his career didn't last long enough to get enough yardage stats for the Hall. However, I have never seen a man who made everyone else on the field look like boys until I got to see Bo. Bo was so dominant that every year he played ought to count as 3 years for someone like Eddie George or Walter Payton. What if Michael Jordan's career had only lasted 4 years? What if Tiger Woods had died after playing only 4 years in his prime? Bo was even better at football than Jordan and Woods were at their sports. Bo's omission makes the Hall itself appear bogus -- because how can you leave out the best player who ever played the game?
Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith🥴
Big Fred Taylor fan and he was one of the best of his time, but he just doesn't have accolades to get in. Only 1 pro bowl and 1x second team all-pro just isn't enough
Nice list. I would have left tiki off. But good list
You add tiki barber to the list but not ronde barber his career was so much better then tiki’s
Tedy Bruschi, Willie McGinest, Rodney Harrison, Yes I'm
a Patriots' fan
You forgot Bill- probably by the rule of Pop 🤣🤣25 years or something then gets in the hall- maybe some guy named Thomas Edward Patrick Brady could be a hall of famer someday you know maybe
@@thenation1575 The only ones I see from the early 2000s are Brady and Vinatieri . Ty Law already in. And of course Bill. But the guys I mentioned do deserve some consideration.
@@norwoodwildlife9849 I was just trying to make jokes because let's face it Brady(sarcastic) is still on the fence he needs 2 more to solidify his hall of fame status
@@thenation1575 Lol, I knew that.
Jack Tatum should be in the HOF
Henry Ellard should be in the HOF as well.
next do 10 thing pro football hall of fame does wrong
I nearly choked on a pc. of steak. I thought both, Craig and Rahman had already been inducted, get out of here!!.
Nobody gives Mike Alstott any love.
Still dont know how ken Anderson and ken Riley isnt in HoF
Fred Taylor Sterling Sharpe Randall Cunningham and Steve McNair
Steven Jackson should be in but he might not.
Day 3 of asking for top 10 award snubs
Gary Fencick, Dan Hampton, Mongo, Otis Wilson, Wilbur Marshall, Keith Van Horn, Jim on Covert Jay Hillenburg, the whole offensive line from the 85 Bears.... Matt Shuey...... Ed McCaffery....
Boselli is absolutely HOF. I say Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor also. This is just speaking for my team.
Boselli, absolutely! Smith, maybe. Taylor, no
Day 3 of suggesting ever NFL franchise’s best team
Devin Hester because I love him. That’s the only reason you need.
Dont kick to Hester is all I used to hear as a Packer fan
Why doesn't Joe Jacoby get on this list?
