London Fletcher was a tackling machine that had accumulated over 2,000 Tackles in the National Football League. This is where Fletcher’s best chance for the Hall lies as he was only a four-time Pro Bowl selection, a number that right or wrong does matter. Fletcher, however, does hold a resume with all those tackles, longevity, a Super Bowl Ring with the Rams, and a reputation as a locker room leader and off-field good guy.
For our money, there is nobody more intriguing who was first eligible in 2019, and his overall resume is one of the most interesting ones on this list. Whether or not he ever recieves any PFHOF consideration, the fact that he accomplished so much as an undrafted player from John Carroll will forever be impressive.
