Best 2016 NFL Hall of Fame Nominees

The Top Ten
1 Brett Favre Brett Lorenzo Favre is a former American football quarterback who spent the majority of his career with the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Favre played 20 seasons in the NFL, with the Packers, Vikings, Jets, and Falcons. He retired as the all time leader in both passing yards and touchdowns. He was a 3 time MVP, 11 time Pro Bowler, 2 time NFC Champion and a won one Super Bowl

He is the best but a lot of good candidates

2 Marvin Harrison

He played 13 NFL seasons with the Colts with Peyton Manning as his Quarterback. He retired an 8 time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champion, 7th all time in receiving yards, 5th all time in touchdown catches, and 3rd all time in catches. He also set the single season record for catches.

3 Kurt Warner Kurtis Eugene "Kurt" Warner is a former American football quarterback, a current part-time TV football analyst, and a philanthropist.

There are many players that were great but had a short career. They are: Kurt Warner, Terrell Davis, Sterling Sharpe, Kenny Easley, and Gale Sayers. Only Sayers is in the Hall of Fame and Easley is about to get in. I think he should have to wait a while or get voted on by the senior voters.

He played 11 NFL seasons with the Rams, Cardinals, and Giants. He is a 3 time MVP, 4 time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champion and MVP, 3 time NFC Champion, and hold multiple playoff records.

He is the best because they picked him up at the grocery store!

And he used to bag groceries...

Beast Mode shown.

4 Terrell Davis Terrell Lamar Davis is a former American football running back who played for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League from 1995 to 2001.

He only played 7 seasons, and in that time he was a 3 time Pro Bowler, an MVP, 2 time Super Bowl Champion and a Super Bowl MVP, and he was the 4th player ever to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.

5 Edward DeBartolo, Jr. Edward John DeBartolo Jr. is an American businessman best known for his extremely successful 23-year ownership of the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.

He owned the San Francisco 49ers from 1977-2000. He won 5 Super Bowls, made 10 NFC Championship appearances, and hired/drafted hall of famers like Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, & Steve Young

6 Terrell Owens Terrell Eldorado Owens is an American football wide receiver who played for the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.

He is not a top five receiver, but he is Hall of Fame worthy. He has great stats but teams couldn't wait to get rid of him great. To me he should not be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

He played 15 seasons for the 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles, Bills, and Bengals. He is currently 2nd all time in receiving yards and 3rd all time in touchdowns. He was a 6 time Pro Bowler and an NFC Champion

Easily a top 5 receiver of all time and deserves to be in the hall

7 Alan Faneca Alan Joseph Faneca is a former professional American football player who was a guard in the National Football League for thirteen seasons.

Looked at as one of the best Offensive Linemen of the 2000s, he played 13 seasons with the Steelers, Jets, and Cardinals. He was a 9 time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion

He should make it in by 2019.

8 Tony Dungy Anthony Kevin "Tony" Dungy is a former professional American football player and coach in the National Football League.

He played 3 seasons in the 70s with the Steelers and 49ers, and he won a Super Bowl in that time with Pittsburgh. He went on to become a coach the Buccaneers and Colts, and won a Super Bowl with the Colts. He is the only person to win a Super Bowl as a player and Head Coach.

One of the greatest coaches of all time, not because he won a lot, but because of his character

Tony Dungy is in the Hall of Fame.

He played 15 seasons with the Rams, Steelers, Panthers, and 49ers. He was a 5 time Pro Bowler, AFC Champion, and is 3rd all time for sacks.

He must be into the top 10. He should at least be number 3

Kevin Greene is the Hall of Fame.

10 Ken Stabler Kenneth Michael "Ken" Stabler, nicknamed "Snake," was an American football quarterback in the National Football League for the Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints.

He played 15 seasons with the Raiders, Oilers, and Saints. He was a 4 time Pro Bowler, MVP, and a Super Bowl Champion.

The Contenders
11 Morten Andersen

He was a kicker who played 20 seasons with the Saints, Falcons, Giants, Chiefs, and Vikings. He was a 7 time Pro Bowler, and holds 13 NFL records, including most points scored.

Its hard for kickers to get in the Hall of Fame and it should be. He deserves Hall of Fame but as a senior canidate.

Most games ever. Most points ever. I realize he's a kicker, but the game is called "football", not "passball", not "runball", not "tackleball", not "blockball".

12 Orlando Pace Orlando Lamar Pace is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League for thirteen seasons.

He played 13 seasons with the Rams and Bears, and was a 7 time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl Champion

The Greatest show on Turf wouldn't be possible without the Greatest Tackle on Earth

Orlando Pace is in the Hall of Fame.

Should be higher

Dick Stanfel is in the Hall of Fame.

14 Steve Atwater Stephen Dennis Atwater nicknamed "Smiling Assassin" is a former American football player who spent most of his career playing free safety for the Denver Broncos.

He played 11 seasons with the Broncos and Jets and was known for his big hits. He was an 8 time Pro Bowler, 2 time Super Bowl Champion and a 3 time AFC Champion.

P.S. I had to space out his last name because there is a "dirty word" in there.

15 Edgerrin James Edgerrin Tyree James is a former American football running back who played in the National Football League for eleven seasons.

Played 11 seasons with the Colts, Cardinals and Seahawks. He was a part of the famous Colts offense of the early 2000s with Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and Jeff Saturday. He was a 4 time Pro Bowler and is the 11th all time leading rusher

Very underrated, should get in before Terrell Davis.
