If true, there were only 4 Bears players on the list with Jared Allen (2 yrs w/Bears) Devin Hester, Julius Peppers (3 yrs w/Bears) and Steve McMichael (senior finalist).
Three with more impactful careers than Torry Holt? Hmmm...

The word is Hester, Peppers and McMichael. I wouldn't have a problem with that except I don't see why Hester is leap frogging the line.

Rumors that there were a couple shockers, including one that NFL.com declared a "mortal lock", who didn't make the cut so Holt still has a shot.

Stroud wins OROY, which was expected but a 48-2 vote is a little disappointing.

I know Myles Garrett is a top 10 defensive player in the league for years now, but I'm with Steeler fans. Should've been TJ Watt.

Yeah, it's official, Holt missed out again. That's now 12 WRs they've put into the Hall the last 10 years while leaving him out.

Tim Brown
Marvin Harrison
Randy Moss
Terrell Owens
Isaac Bruce
Cliff Harris
Mac Speedie
Calvin Johnson
Drew Pearson
Cliff Branch

now Andre Johnson and Devin Hester.

I don't know what the fk they think he didn't do in his career.

How does eligibility work? Is it like with baseball where he drops from the “ballot” and can’t be selected after a certain number of years?

There's a 20 year window of eligibility before a player is no longer a modern era candidate and his fate rests with the Seniors Committee. Holt has ten more years before that happens.

All these people who never won a god damn thing worth mentioning in the NFL getting in over Holt is shameful.

I know there has been a log jam at WR for HOF selection, but that excuse is getting thin for "Big Game."

Ah Puka. You were ripped off, my man,

Torry is more deserving than at least half the guys on there. Certainly more than either Johnson or Hester.

I'm pissed. Feel bad for Big Game. He's gonna get in but it's BS to see him punished for the weapons in that offense. Because that's what I feel like this is.

8 straight 1,100+ receiving yards, IIRC only Rice had more consecutive (9)

Lead the league in yards twice in the Randy Moss era.
Feels like he’s just taken for granted.

Btw.. Antonio Gates got hosed.
