First, let me say that the Pro Football HOF needs to update the amount of people it lets in each year. At this point there are so many new, worthy players that hit the nominee list that older, also worthy players that have already been on the list for a few years are getting forgotten and pushed down.
I have a list of 25 nominees that I have chosen from the total list of 114 (84 players, 9 coaches, and 21 contributors).
There are obviously more than even the 25 nominees that I have chosen that are actually worthy, but I am just playing by the Pro Fooball HOF’s rules!
The first 10 people listed are the cuts, the ones I have to shave off to get to the final list of 15 nominees.
