Out of the Top 10 WRs with the most active receiving yards who will make the HOF?

Noles939913 · 11-13-2023, 10:10 AM

Julio Jones
DeAndre Hopkins
Mike Evans
Davante Adams
Keenan Allen
Stefon Diggs
Tyreek Hill
Brandin Cooks
Amari Cooper
Robert Woods

I do find Amari Cooper to be severely underrated both hobby wise and in real life.

jplarson · 11-13-2023, 10:24 AM

Hill, Jones, Adams are locks.

Evans is close.

Hopkins and Diggs need a few more good years.

Stifle · 11-13-2023, 10:28 AM

Let’s not forget those in waiting. Add these names and then do a poll :
Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith Sr, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Anquan Boldin, Henry Ellard, Tory Holt and even a Jason Witten at TE.

How many of the current players would be selected ahead of those in waiting ? It’s going to take a long time before anybody is going to make it in for the current players.

JWBlue · 11-13-2023, 10:29 AM

Julio Jones DeAndre Hopkins Keenan Allen are locks.

Stefon Diggs Tyreek Hill need a few more good seasons.

Mike Evans I wasn't sure of but he has been so good for so long so a yes from me.

Davante Adams has had few insane years but a lot of meh ones. He might need a few good ones with the Raiders to make it.

Brandin Cooks
Amari Cooper
Robert Woods no chance.

TheFrenzy · 11-13-2023, 10:33 AM

Jones and Hill.

JeremyNick · 11-13-2023, 10:40 AM

Hill, Jones, Evans and Adams are on the path.

All 4 have either been considered the top guy in the league or have Lombardi’s plus stellar post season performances.

The rest are all a no from me. WR has become a position littered with a bunch of great players all over the league that plus the backlog will really limit the amount of guys from this generation who make it.

But who in the world would even put Robert Woods in the discussion for HOF?

That’s……not the point of OP making this post…

Obviously most of the current retired players will get in before most of the still active players lmao

Braswell10 · 11-13-2023, 10:58 AM

I love Keenan. He has so many receptions. I wish he didn’t get injured those two years, then he would be more on par with Julio yards wise. They said yesterday in the broadcast that he averages the most catches per game in NFL history at 6.5 a game for his career.

He will be close to HoF, but he is the greatest Charger receiver ever and I am looking forward to when he passes Gates.

I want to see Mike Evans make it too. His level of consistency has been drastically underrated.

I vote: Julio, Hill, Adams, Evans, and Allen.

Scottish Punk · 11-13-2023, 11:16 AM

Jones and Hopkins are in.
Adams and Evans don't need much more and they are in.
Allen sort of straddles the above and below for me. I think he gets in but he will have to wait a bit.
Hill and Diggs need some more seasons of big numbers to get in. They are on the path.
Cooks,Cooper,and Woods have no shot.

I realize Cooks and Woods have no chance but I’m surprised people feel so definitively about Cooper.

Derekbauer · 11-13-2023, 11:46 AM

IMO Hopkins really hurt his chances with the PEDSs suspension.

So many similar WRs who’ve waited a long time to get in and may not get in will not have that blemish on their record.

Luckily football HOF voters don't seem to care about PED like baseball

Julio and Keenan Allen are not locks. Especially Allen. What separates Allen from Rod Smith?

Julio's lack of TD's hurt, Allen is mediocre for HOF standards

I feel Hopkins, Evans, Adams, Hill still need more production before they are locks.

Julio is 100% in.

Archangel1775 · 11-13-2023, 12:57 PM

Julio Jones and Tyreek Hill are Tier 1 (Meets the best of their generation criteria)

Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins and Mike Evans Tier 2 (Adams is closer to Tier 1)

Keenan Allen is still going strong and has an outside chance if he can keep producing.

majestik101 · 11-13-2023, 01:02 PM

I only have 4 from the list making it.

Evans
Julio
Tyreek
Davante

The others aren't on the same level

49erRCCollector · 11-13-2023, 01:21 PM

I'm a bit surprised by the responses.

Right now, today?:

Julio (all-time numbers, all-time dominant)

After that, with more production?:

Evans (close, has a ring), Hopkins (no ring, PED thing)

Way down the line, maybe, if he keeps running up big #'s?:

Tyreek (Ring, nice resume so far).

I'm not sure how ANY of the others are even in the conversation. Even if we use Megatron as an example of getting in without all-time career numbers, none of these guys were as dominant as he was. AND he did what he did on the 2000s Lions, which is quite the feat.

packman80 · 11-13-2023, 01:27 PM

None of these guys are locks.

Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, and Henry Ellard all have more yards then Jones and none of them are in yet.

For the rest Hopkins is at 30th all time in yards, Evans is 38th, Adams is 48th, Allen is 52nd, and Hill is 63rd.

The key for Adams and Evans will be to break 100 career TDs.

Hopkins I am saying no to. Right now he sits at 74 TDs I just don't see the yards or TDs he has getting him into the HOF. Same with Allen he only has 58 career TDs the stats are not good enough for those two. Jones is border line with yards but another guy with low TD totals with only 64.

88horsepower · 11-13-2023, 01:40 PM

Mike Evans just continues to roll out another 1,000-yard season. He has 737 receiving yards this year, so unless he gets injured or something he will easily eclipse his 10th straight 1,000-yard season. Unreal.

The point I’m making is that not all the players who have been waiting will be elected when the majority of this group in the poll becomes eligible. The list will consist of a large carryover. If it’s within 20 years of eligibility to be elected, maybe 2 off the list.

Steve Smith played in 61 games (or almost 4 seasons) more than Julio to accumulate a hair over 1,000 yards more. C'mon man.

Reggie Wayne, 53 more. Fewer All Pros and Pro Bowls.

Andre Johnson, 35 more.

Henry Ellard, 70 more. Surely you were just throwing out someone with more yards and don't consider him more worthy?

Julio's 5-year stretch from 2014-2018 was dominant and I think AB is the only one who comes close to it. Not to mention Julio is one of 6 players in NFL history with a 300-yard game and the only player in NFL history with more than one 250-yard game (and he has 3).

If he was eligible today, I'd put him in over any active candidate.

I'm on board with this take.

Counterpoint:

Julio doesn't have 1,000 receptions, and only has 64 touchdowns. That's 20 less touchdowns than Andre Rison. Touchdowns are huge to me.

1 season he had double digit touchdowns. If Andre Johnson is going to have trouble getting in, Julio certainly is. That is why I say he is by no means a lock.

Scottish Punk · 11-13-2023, 02:46 PM

Keep in mind Julio was on the all decade team for 2010s. All decade teams are virtual locks for HOF (except for special teamers of course).
