BREAKING: contributor list down to 9

Had Williams stayed in TB, maybe Giles makes the HOF? Kevin House had big-play ability but was never consistent. Imagine had Williams had a Lofton or Wes Chandler?

You never know, but of course the Hall is tough on tight ends. If Todd Christensen can't get in, feels like Giles would have had to do a ton.

Well, we can picture what he could do with awesome receivers with Washington - Monk, Clark, and Sanders. And he threw 4 TDs in one quarter in the SB.

I don't think Giles makes the HOF - not that he might not have been HOF worthy, but the HOF just doesn't have very many TEs per capita. Love that you brought up Kevin House an often-forgotten, quality WR.

For reference, the HOF website lists 9 TEs in the Hall:

Dave Casper 1974-1984
Mike Ditka 1961-1972
Tony Gonzalez 1997-2013
John Mackey 1963-1972
Ozzie Newsome 1978-1990
Charlie Sanders 1968-1977
Shannon Sharpe 1990-2003
Jackie Smith 1963-1978
Kellen Winslow 1979-1987

I would assume there would be 11 once Witten and Kelce would get in.

Ha! I knew there was another, because I'd noted that tight end is second to center for the longest you have to go back to get the last five modern inductees at a position, but that they soon would be very modern. Sheesh.

[GameBeforeTheMoney]

Of course Gronk....can't believe I didn't think of him immediately. Gates should make the Hall, too.

Sanders was meant as a counterpoint: maybe the HOF isn't so tough on TEs.
