On the mobile, so bolding/pinking wil be a hassle.
Peanut Tillman, Welker, and Willis are the standouts imo
Some of these will be laughable, and some are no-brainers so I omitted them--so bear with me...BOLD the ones you think are locks. Pink the ones you think have no chance.

A lot of these guys land in the "no chance" category. Pretty much all the running backs except shady depending on where his career goes. And lol at romo and stafford
I forgot to add Stephen Jackson too.
Romo and Stafford are a stretch for sure, but their #'s by careers' end will dwarf most HOFers (this doesn't mean I think they are HOF-worthy, just a note)... Postseason failure (or absence) could keep a lot of these guys out.
crazy thing about Charles Tillman is I went to school with him, one of my friends was best friends with him, so I'd chat with Peanut a bit. I wouldn't say we were partying together, I don't even know if he was like that. His older brother was more of the lady's man type, Peanut was more goofy. But never in a million years would I foresee him being this badass in the NFL, I knew he was serious about the game but not this good.
my jaw dropped when i saw how many fumbles he has forced
Joe Thomas is the only guy on that list I'd consider a lock at this point. Not that I think he's in a class with guys like Anthony Munoz or Jim Parker (he's a tremendous pass protector but only decent in the run game) but the number of Pro Bowl and All-Pro appearances he's made make him an HOF'er almost by default.
My only concern with JT's HOF candidacy is that he'll be hurt by playing for so many bad teams. Sort of like Mike Kenn, a great LT who is almost forgotten because he played for mostly losing teams in Atlanta.
Hester is probably a lock tbh, two return records.
based on what they have already done or based on what we expect them to do?
