Just wait until Orlando Pace is eligible...

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. 

Here is an interesting analysis of Eddie:

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!
