My Five Finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Marcelo Unda • February 8, 2024

The NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame will announce their finalist for the Class of 2024 tonight. The Finalist have been narrow down to 15.

The Pro Football HOF selects between 4-9 players each year depending on the amount of votes. The selection committee makes their vote based of the HOF mission:

 “Honor the Greatest of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values and Celebrate Excellence Together.”
There are a lot of great players on this list. Some more deserving of others. I am going to list out my top 5 players that I think who should be part of the HOF class in 2024.

5. Patrick Willis

A real life monster on the field. He would make receivers crumble and running backs shatter like glass. Willis was the last of this linebacker breed before the NFL transistion to what it is today.
4. Dwight Freeney
A freak off the edge. Watch that first step off the line! Bruh can move the pyramids with that power. Tackles did not have a chance of blocking him. Probably why they are jumping back early these days. & how can you forget that legendary spin move!
3. Devin Hester An incredible playmaker that could initiate a spark for a team. These are just the 14 punt return touchdowns! He still had 5 more on kickoffs. I can't think of the NFL during this era without describing who Hester was. An Icon to the spot. He deserves to be in the hall.
2. Julius Peppers
I don't think you can begin to discuss the Panther's franchise without leading off with Julius Peppers. A beast on the edge who display incredible power. Peppers lands at number 4 on the all time sack list behind: Bruce Smith, Reggie White, & Kevin Greene. Legends!
1. Antonio Gates
Gates was a hell of a ball player. The fact he got to play with 2 future Hall of Famers- Brees & Rivers is something special for a player's career. He leads touchdowns all time for Tight Ends. Amazingly talented and always a reliability in the red zone.

All 15 finalists are deserving, and it's still possible that more than 5 get in this year.  If you want more stats and information on the finalist, check out the Pro Football Hall of Fame site that breaks down each finalist. Let me know who you would think should get in this year's Hall of Fame Class.

2025 LSU Week 3 Preview

By Erik Trosclair • September 12, 2025
When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
