gold star for USAHOF

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 151 to 175:

151. Brian Mitchell
152. Lomas Brown
153. Tiki Barber
154. John David Crow
155. Byron “Whizzer” White
156. Gene Washington
157. Cameron Wake*
158. Boyd Dowler
159. Mike Alstott
160. Roger Brown
161. Chris Hinton
162. Eric Berry
163. Harlon Hill
164. George Christensen
165. Jimmy Smith
166. Michael Dean Perry
167. Fred Taylor
168. Drew Bledsoe

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Wes Welker was an All-Rookie Returner as an undrafted player with Miami in 2004.  Welker would begin to see more time at Wide Receiver, but the Patriots saw something more special in him, and they traded for him in 2007.

As the National Football League post season is in the final eight stage we here at Notinhalloffame.com have been working on our 2022 Football Futures section. Before that however, we have added some previously omitted (not retired as of yet when we put up our 2021 section) from our 2021 Football Futures.

The added players are as follows:

Billy Cundiff, a Pro Bowl Place Kicker in 2010.

Brandon Browner, a two time Super Bowl winning Cornerback.

Brandon Fields, a Pro Bowl Punter in 2013.

Dwayne Bowe, A Pro Bowl Wide Receiver in 2010.

Jacoby Jones, A Pro Bowler in 2012 for Special Teams and Super Bowl Champion with the Baltimore Ravens.

Jason Babin, A two time Pro Bowl Linebacker.



Jay Ratliff, a four time Pro Bowl Selection at Defensive Tackle. He was also a Frist Team All Pro in 2009.

LaMarr Woodley, a Pro Bowl Linebacker in 2009 and Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Michael Vick, a four time Pro Bowl Quarterback.

Miles Austin, a Wide Receiver who was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2009 & 2010.

Owen Daniels, a two time Pro Bowl Tight End who won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos.

Roddy White, a four time Pro Bowl Wide Receiver who was also a First Team All Pro in 2010.

Shaun Phillips, a Pro Bowl Linebacker in 2009.

Steven Jackson, a three time Pro Bowl Running Back who was twice a Second Team All Pro.



Wes Welker, a six time Pro Bowl Wide Receiver who was also a two time First Team All-Pro.

William Moore, a 2012 Pro Bowl Selection at Strong Safety

These former players join Antrel Rolle, Ben Grubbs, Calvin Johnson, Charles Tillman, Charles Woodson, D’Brickashaw Ferguson, Greg Jennings, Heath Miller, Jason Hatcher, Justin Tuck, Logan Mankins, Peyton Manning and Rashean Mathis.

The entire 2021 list can be found here.

The 2022 Football Futures will be up shortly.

As always we look forward to your thoughts on the new entries and we thank you for your continued support.

170. Wes Welker

Undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2004, Wes Welker would be signed by the San Diego Chargers who released him shortly after and he was able to carve out a niche as a backup Wide Receiver and Return Specialist with the Miami Dolphins.  That itself would be a decent career for an undrafted player but the New England Patriots (who are we kidding, Bill Belichick) traded for him and he would become an elite wide out in the National Football League.
