Guard Gene Hickerson, wide receiver Michael Irvin, guard/tackle/center Bruce Matthews, tight end Charlie Sanders, running back Thurman Thomas, and cornerback Roger Wehrli.
I certainly don't have any problems with Matthews and Thomas, two of the best at their positions all through my formative football watching years. Hickerson, Sanders and Wehrli were before my time and I'll have to talk the committee's word for it.
I don't have any objection to Michael Irvin except that Art Monk and Andre Reed should both be in as well. When Art Monk retired 10 years ago he was the all-time world's greatest ever and five years later everyone had forgotten that he existed. The talk is that Monk will be in next year. But what about Reed? His impact on the Bills was almost identical to Irvin's impact on the Cowboys, no? Granted Irvin's squads won 3 Super Bowls and Reed's lost 4, but that's still pretty impressive.
If Irvin is so controversial why does he get in first? And why does Reed not get in at all when Thomas and Kelly are both in? And when is Art Monk going to be acknowledged as one of the best ever at his position? When you compare the stats, wouldn't you have to put Reed and Monk ahead of Irvin?
