Depends on who passes away between now and then.

He's more than deserving,shouldn't have to get in only because he died,but because he deserves it.

It would be great if it actually worked that way.

Perhaps what hurts him is that he was never quite as good in the pros as he was in college, even though he was still quite good he wasn't noticeable or flashy. Playing on the expansion Falcons didn't help either. He excelled in obscurity

Id Have to agree with you sheajets i know we have had some disagreements in the past so i want to extend the olive branch

Please read the post put up by Ken Crippen,written by me,I asked him to post it me and tech don't get along.This shows why he should have already been in the HOF.
