If I had to pick five from this class, I’d go with Seau, Shields, Harrison, Brown, and Greene. All the other nominated players are Hall of Fame worthy, so I had to make tough choices. Seau is a no-brainer. Shields went to 12 Pro Bowls, so he gets the nod over Orlando Pace, who went to seven. Harrison, despite his personal issues is third all time in catches and ninth in touchdowns. After those three, it gets hard. Brown had over a thousand catches while playing for a lot of mediocre quarterbacks, and Greene is third all-time in sacks. Haley was the most questionable choice this year. He deserves to get in, but if you only had to pick five, others on the list have more accomplishments. Haley had five Pro Bowls, but almost everyone else on the list had more.
“Seau is a no-brainer” - No pun intended.
Charles Haley has 5 super Bowl rings.
