Deacon Jones is a HOF defensive lineman. Charles Haley. Cmon man
Hmmm....one similar case was Dwight Stephenson, who was the best center of the eighties. He played eight seasons before a career-ending injury but got in. That’s probably as low a number of seasons as would be fair for the HOF.
Well especially some white dud e
