The Committee consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are up to 17 at-large delegates
You're familiar with how it's done, there's a committee gets together each year, has a discussion and votes. John Clayton was on it. Read where he basically got Kennedy in the HOF. Got up and explained it to them. It's pretty subjective

It's criminal that Ricky Watters never gets considered. He was underrated his entire career. If he ran behind the line Alexander did, he'd have 15,000 yards and 200 TDs.

Alexander was amazing for a few years, but I will never forget the way he took a dive after getting paid. That will always stick with me and others, and it taints his legacy. Marshawn is the opposite. I love that guy, loved the way he played, and he is incredibly entertaining. He's the one I want to see enshrined more than anybody else. Imagine that speech.

Fascinating how objectively Lynch and Alexander have so much in common and belong to a tiny group of people. Black RBs in the NFL that played in the early 21st century. .0000000001% of humans on earth. But they could not be more different on a personal level.

Yep. I was a big Alexander apologist...right up until he got paid. Not only did he completely quite playing hard at that point, his $ cost us Hutchinson. One of the dumbest things Ruskell ever did. They promised Alexander they would "make it right" since he was pretty much underpaid as a rookie. You don't do that...you just don't. You also don't draft Mo fucking Morris over Brian Westbrook. Westbrook was the epitome of a Holmgren back, yet Mike drafts Mo instead. Had he not done that? Alexander would have had ZERO bargaining leverage. Hell, they could have signed Hutch, let Alexander walk and been a BETTER team.
