Future HOFers who current NFL players

[NewEnglandAFChamps]

I know this is random, but a friend of mine asked me who did I think the future HOFers are in this league still playing today and I said that was a good question maybe some football peeps on the net can help me answer that but before debating about it, I gave him a list and it goes a lil something like this

Bill Belichick

Tony Dungy

Mike Holmgren

Dick LeBeau

Tom Brady

Brett Favre

Peyton Manning

Ray Lewis

Steve Smith

Marvin Harrison

LaDainian Tomlinson

Ed Reed

Adam Vinatieri

John Kasay

Tony Gonzalez

Walter Jones

Derrick Brooks

Juniour Seau

Issac Bruce

Julius Peppers

Orlando Pace

Adrian Peterson - yes early, but already one of the best I've ever seen

Jeff Saturday

Terrell Owens - if his attitude changes

Randy Moss

Torry Holt

Steve Hutchison

Alan Faneca

Jason Elam

Kevin Mawae

Jason Taylor

Brian Dawkins

Ty Law

anybody else I would have to think about.... Anybody can help me out? any other thoughts on this.

that is way too many. i'd say the first 8 in your list, and likely harrison and holt and gonzolez. the rest aren't locks by any means.

[SorthNarolina]

peppers and smith have a very, very long way to go

peppers can't afford to have many down seasons like his last one if he wants to be in the HoF

and smith i doubt will ever make it, he will always be remember as one of the best recievers to play the game in my mind, but i don't think he will ever be able to get in

Steve Smith will get in off of reputation alone just for being a great FOOTBALL player first, which is what they look for. And besides, he has already 3 probowls, 2005 comeback player of the year, and 2005 MVP candidate. And will be in at least 4more probowls before its all said and done. Thats 7 altogether, which is 1 more than half the WR HOFers in Canton already. Besides, he has plenty of great seasons in him left. Not only that, but 2 NFC Championship game appearances, numerous big time playoff moments, grabs and etc. And even just 2 more 1000 yard seasons and he is in the ball park, and up there in the ball park.

As for Peppers, that one bad season really didn't hurt him much. He can rebound and have 2 more good seasons, 1 more great season, then 1 more solid season for him and he is in the ballpark or more than half above the middle of the pack. So both Steve Smith and Peppers should be fine for Canton.

smith has 4 pro bowls

hopefully his fight with ken will be forgotten

One I'm not too sure about is Torry Holt.

One I'm not too sure about is Torry Holt.

You kidding right?

Holt had 8 straight 1150+ yard seasons. He has like 12,600 rec yards career.

Gonzo is a lock, considering he's the best TE to ever play the game.
