HOF for DT - They cannot deny DT with this group

The Final Preliminary List of 25 modern-era candidates will be distributed to the Selection Committee during the month of November for the purpose of the selection of 15 Modern Era Nominees.  The 16th and 17th finalists are the recommended candidates of the Seniors Committee.

In advance of the Hall of Fame Selection Meeting in February, the selectors are provided detailed biographies on each of the 17 finalist candidates.  At the annual meeting, each of the nominees is thoroughly discussed by the committee before a series of reduction votes are taken.  First, the two senior candidates are discussed and voted on for election.  They must receive the same 80 percent affirmative vote as the modern-era candidates. Next, the there is a vote that reduces the modern-era finalists list from 15 to 10.  Following that, a vote is taken to reduce the list from 10 to 5 names.  The five remaining candidates for Hall of Fame election are then voted on individually (yes or no) for membership.

So it goes from these 25, to 15, to 10, and then finally to 5.

Honestly, DT was a rookie when I was a kid and first became a fan of the Chiefs.

He was the NFL for me.  He is the Chiefs Defense to me.

I sincerely wish he is elected and we all can celebrate the player and man he was during the induction.  RIP DT.

Cris Carter
Paul Tagliabue (actually I'm not sure, but he ushered the NFL into the most popular sport era so I assume)

Charles Haley has a good chance.
I'm a huge Joe Jacoby fan.  One of the first 'modern day' tackles.  Theismann would not have gotten his leg cracked that year if Jacoby hadn't been hurt.  Everyone should read a great book on LTs called 'The Blind Side' by Michael Lewis.  Great, great book on LTs, the history, importance, etc.

Am I missing anyone?

Also, I'd bet Richard Dent gets in at some point.

*Clearly a reference to former Commish Tagliabue.
