Terrell Owens reacts to second straight Pro Football Hall of Fame snub

The selection committee voted to enshrine seven others into the Hall of Fame, including five modern-era players who beat out Dawkins and Owens.

Terrell Davis’ selection for the 2017 Hall class helps begin to correct the imbalance between the Broncos’ long-term success and their relative lack of representation at the Hall of Fame, but doesn’t do almost enough.

Among the players in the class, only Tomlinson and Easley were first-round picks.

Tomlinson, who played nine seasons with the Chargers and two with the Jets, ranks fifth in National Football League history in rushing yards with 13,684.

“I’m open to hearing all arguments for Kevin Mawae, and I have had a lot of people lobbying me, ” McClain said. But Canton, Ohio? That will have to wait. He’s one of the greatest receivers in the history of the NFL. Louis Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV.

The Hall of Fame hasn’t inducted a true safety since Paul Krause in 1998. I’m not going to rehash those reasons, but it’s worth the time to read these stories.

Taylor, Tomlinson and former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins – yes, also a member of that all-decade team – are first-year eligibles.

Dawkins also spent three years with the Broncos, from 2009 to 2011, where he picked up three interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and five sacks while being named to another pair of Pro Bowls. First, the 43-year-old announced that once again he came up short.

“Yeah, I guess, ” Boselli said.

Davis led Denver to two titles over a career that covered a mere 78 games. I know he’ll get it.

Regardless, we’ve seen other players with character questions, and lesser numbers compared to TO, get into the Hall of Fame. I thought that’s what they saw me as.

He is the league leader in career points (2,544), field goals (565) and games played (382).

He voiced his displeasure on Twitter. It was his second year on the ballot. “Hopefully things will work out where I get in, but either way it’s all been very special to me”. Dawkins is the first Tiger to ever become a finalist. Since contributors do not need to be retired to be eligible, there was no specific year of eligibility for Jones or Tagliabue.

Each year, Hall of Fame voter Clark Judge provides some insight into the voting room and notable names and discussions that arose.

Tomlinson won the 2000 Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back. It is also heavy with offensive linemen, two of whom should receive serious consideration this year.
