1. A lot of good names up there, I think it’s a stretch that both get in. I think #92 has best shot. WR is a log jam and while we all love Hines and he was one of the best blocking WR, Idk if he makes it.

2. I used to think there was no chance for either, but after a class that includes Bryant Young and Sam Mills, why not Ward or Deebo?

3. Unlikely for Hines if someone like Torry Holt or Reggie Wayne struggles to get in. Only thing Hines has Holt doesn’t is a SBMVP but Holt has an AP1 and 3 more PBs, plus more volume stats.

   Deebo has an outside shot I think, but a better one than Hines.

4. If Deebo gets in I want Joe Flacco to introduce him.

5. Hines belongs. He’s the all-time leading receiver for an iconic franchise. Among the best-ever blockers to play his position. Super Bowl MVP.

6. Deebo will get in one day. The Super Bowl INT TD return alone is HOF-worthy.

7. Honestly think both are borderline and may never get in. Deebo has the better case, Wards numbers alone aren’t nearly enough imo

8. Deebo,Troy,and TJ are in their own tier of the best defensive steelers in my lifetime IMO. The next tier would be a completely ridiculous amount of great players and talent but those three get their own. Deebo gets in 100 percent.

9. So wait is this the whole list. So Pat McAfee got cut? Or was that a separate list?

10. I can’t believe people out there truly think Harrison is on the cusp. He’s a 100% lock. Maybe not this year but eventually.

11. Slight chance for Deebo, short prime but he was genuinely feared. And not just for lighting someone up. Plus playoff dominance and a DPOY nod goes a long way.

    Hines, I doubt it. Great career but there was never a point where you considered him among the S tier. But hey, he’d probably prefer that over ringless Moss and TO.
