Pace should be in on the first year of his eligibility (2015).
Randy Gradishar should have been in a while ago (1978 NFL Defensive player of the year, 7 time pro bowl (5 time starter)).
Galloway may have a shot, but probably wont get in. Ranked 29 in all time receiving yards, but other than all rookie team, not sure he had any other awards (all pro?)
Maybe Eddie George. He has over 10,000 career rushing yards; all time rank no. 24.
Career yds per carry below 4. He probably falls short as well. IMO, I dont think of Eddie as an NFL Hall of Famer (I dont think Galloway is either). Both were very solid pros.
I was going to create another post for this, but watching him talk about it with tears in his eyes, mad respect! Can't help but love the guy and seeing him in the HOF is awesome!
I'm right there with ya Squirrel Master. Watching Chris talk about the waiting and then finally hearing his name being called; I got a little emotional myself. Congrats CC!!!!

Give me a reason to watch the induction this year. Congrats Chris! On a side note.

Hope Duron can do his dad proud. Thats a tough assignment. CC is all class and this honor is well deserved.
