One of our favorite days on our Hall of Fame calendar is the day before the Super Bowl. Not only are we excited with the impending biggest game of the year, but it also is the day that the Pro Football Hall of Fame announces their annual class.
With the advent of social media, the word on the inductees broke before the official announcement on the NFL Network.
The new members are:
Steve Atwater: This was a long time coming. Eligible since 2005, Atwater was a two-time Super Bowl Champion with the Denver Broncos, and he was also a two-time First Team All-Pro. The Free Safety also was chosen for eight Pro Bowls, and was chosen for the 1990s All-Decade Team. This was the third time that he was named a Finalist, and his entry cushions the blow for an upset Denver fanbase that felt Randy Gradishar was snubbed by the Centennial Slate Blue Ribbon Committee. Atwater was ranked #5 on our latest list for Hall of Fame consideration.
Isaac Bruce: A star with the St. Louis Rams’ “Greatest Show on Turf” team, Isaac Bruce won a Super Bowl with the Rams and would Bruce has been eligible since 2015, and this was the fourth time that he made to the Finalists. Over his career, he went to four Pro Bowls and accumulated 15,208 Receiving Yards and 91 Touchdowns. With the exception of his last two seasons in San Francisco, he was with the Rams for the majority of his career. Bruce was ranked #9 on our last list.
Steve Hutchinson: Hutchinson has been Hall of Fame eligible since 2018, and he has been a Finalist ever year. The Offensive Guard began his career in Seattle, where he spent five seasons, and was chosen for two First Team All-Pros. He would join the Minnesota Vikings for six years, and was a First Team All-Pro three times while donning the purple. Finishing his career with one final year in Tennessee, Hutchinson was a Pro Bowl Selection on seven occasions. Hutchinson was ranked #24 on our last list.
Edgerrin James: Eligible since 2015, Edgerrin James was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1999, and with the Indianapolis Colts he went to four Pro Bowls. He would win the Rushing Title in his first two years and would overall rush for 12,246 Yards, and caught 433 passes for another 3,364 Yards. This was the fourth year for James as a Finalist. He was ranked #20 on our last list.
Troy Polamalu: Polamalu enters Canton on his first year of eligibility, which was widely expected. The Safety spent his entire career with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2003-14), and he was the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year. The Strong Safety won two Super Bowls, went to eight Pro Bowls and four First Team All-Pros. Polamalu was ranked #7 on our last list.
The first five cut from the 15 Finalists were LeRoy Butler, Torry Holt, Sam Mills, Reggie Wayne and Bryant Young. The next five cut were Tony Boselli, Alan Faneca, John Lynch, Richard Seymour and Zach Thomas
This group will join the 15 men who were chosen by the Centennial Slate Blue Ribbon Committee. That group consisted of Harold Carmichael, Jim Covert, Bill Cowher, Bobby Dillon, Cliff Harris, Winston Hill, Jimmy Johnson, Alex Karras, Steve Sabol, Donnie Shell, Duke Slater, Mac Speedie, Ed Sprinkle, Paul Tagliabue and George Young.
We will now begin work on our Notinhalloffame.com Football List. All of those inducted will be removed from the list. We will then add those who are eligible for the 2021 Class, and insert them accordingly. Look for that in early March.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Please note that we don not rank coaches.
Mild surprise omissions at this stage include Quarterback Drew Bledsoe and Running Back, Shaun Alexander.
Perhaps the biggest head scratcher is that Steve Smith was chosen. We have to wonder if they thought they were voting for the recently retired Steve Smith Sr., who is eligible for Canton in 2022 and has over 14,000 Receiving Yards. This Steve Smith played five years and has 2,641 Receiving Yards.
We are guessing that Smith won’t make the next round.
Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazile have already advanced as Senior Finalists. Bobby Beathard has been announced as the Contributor Finalist
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate those who made it this far and we will be eagerly anticipating those who will advance to the Semi-Finals.
All of the first year candidates will be underlined, and the returning Finalists will have an asterisk.

Please note that we don not rank coaches.
Mild surprise omissions at this stage include Quarterback Drew Bledsoe and Running Back, Shaun Alexander.
Perhaps the biggest head scratcher is that Steve Smith was chosen. We have to wonder if they thought they were voting for the recently retired Steve Smith Sr., who is eligible for Canton in 2022 and has over 14,000 Receiving Yards. This Steve Smith played five years and has 2,641 Receiving Yards.
We are guessing that Smith won’t make the next round.
Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazile have already advanced as Senior Finalists. Bobby Beathard has been announced as the Contributor Finalist
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate those who made it this far and we will be eagerly anticipating those who will advance to the Semi-Finals.
Our Football Revisions are Complete! Ray Lewis to No. 1

Not in Hall of Fame News
The core of our Notinhalloffame.com has always been our sports lists. As such, it is with great pride that we have updated our Pro Football Hall of Fame list of those to consider for enshrinement in Canton, Ohio
The 2017 Hall of Fame Class added five players who we had listed (LaDainian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, Terrell Davis, Kurt Warner and Morten Andersen), and we did not have trouble replacing them. Actually, we have increased our 100 slightly to 103, for an impending increase in the months (ok, maybe years to come).
The revised ranking is based on your votes and comments and the addition of newly eligible former players.
Let’s get right to it!
Former Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis debuts at the number one spot. The 13 Time Pro Bowl Selection was chosen for seven First Team All Pro slots and took Baltimore to two Super Bowl wins. Lewis is likely to get inducted on his first try.
This drops perennial snub, Jerry Kramer to number 2. Kramer was a Finalist nine times and helped Green Bay win the first two Super Bowls. He is the only member of the NFL 75th Anniversary Team not to be enshrined.
Randy Moss makes his first appearance on the list at #3. The former Wide Receiver is the highest ranked skill player and his appearance makes it harder for Terrell Owens to get in. Moss was a Pro Bowler seven times and is third all-time in Receiving Yards and second all-time in Receiving Touchdowns.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Lineman, Alan Faneca, remains at number four. Faneca, a nine time Pro Bowler was a Finalist for Canton in the past two seasons.
Chuck Howley comes in at number five. The MVP of Super Bowl V was a six time Pro Bowl Selection and was chosen for five consecutive First Team All Pros.
Another former Pittsburgh Steeler, L.C. Greenwood is in the top ten at number six. Greenwood has been named a Finalist six times and was a part of the Steelers dynasty that won four Super Bowls in the 1970’s. He was ranked #5 last year.
Brian Dawkins returns at number seven. “Weapon X” was eligible for the first time last year and many expected that he would get inducted on his first try. He didn’t but was a Finalist last yea
At number eight is Terrell Owens, who dropped two spots from last year. T.O was a finalist in his first two years of eligibility but has been very vocal about being passed over. This could really cost him. He is second all-time in Receiving Yards, third in Receiving Touchdowns and eight in Receptions.
Brian Urlacher debuts at number nine, making three new eligible in the top ten. The career Chicago Bear went to eight Pro Bowls and was selected for four First Team All Pros.
Rounding out the top ten is Johnny Robinson who is known for his time with the Kansas City Chiefs. The former Safety has been a Hall of Fame Finalist six times and has a Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs.
Another high profile debut entry is Ronde Barber, the long time Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defensive Back who appears at #15.
Offensive Lineman, Steve Hutchinson makes his first appearance on the list at #34.
Former three time Super Bowl winner with the New England Patriots, Richard Seymour comes in at #48. He is a seven time Pro Bowler.
Matt Birk, the Center who split his career with the Minnesota Vikings and the Baltimore Ravens, is ranked at #67.
Jeff Saturday, who protected Peyton Manning for Years and went to six Pro Bowls makes his debut at #76.
We have also added Tony Boselli, who was a Finalist last year, but was unranked by us previously. The man considered to be the greatest Jacksonville Jaguar of all-time finally makes his first appearance on our list at number 81.
The entire list can be found here.

Top 50 Minnesota Vikings
Already a star Offensive Lineman when he signed with the Vikings, Steve Hutchinson would rattle off four straight Pro Bowls as well as three First Team All-Pro nods when he joined the team. Hutchinson was only a Viking for six years but there was no doubt who led the O-Line when he played there.
Hutchnson was selected by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.
