Certainly an interesting group of names here. By my count there’s at least 8 guys here who were considered controversial or a part of a scandal or negative news story.

The interesting one is MBC, and whether his late-career insanity, walking off the field in the Jets game, running an AFL team into the ground, and being basically garbage in many ways keeps him out. Spoilers; it probably does.
Gronk is the easy first-ballot guy. AP could legitimately be last the first-ballot RB we see maybe ever. Roethlesberger gets in at some point, Richard Sherman probably does thanks to a 3-4 year run where he was one of the best CBs around. Other than that, either no particularly strong feelings or a bunch of guys who won’t even get consideration.
No way he gets to give a speech in Canton. His career probably deserves it, but damn. They’ll find a way to keep him out.
Uhh Andrew Whitworth was a really fucking good tackle
The second he retired it was clear that he was basically the entire Rams offensive line for their Super Bowl run. Dude was so underrated.
He was always underrated in Cincinnati too, especially being in the shadow of all time great Joe Thomas in Cleveland.
Andrew whitworth. Classic example of undervaluing the unsung heros
Gronk is a mega lock, three rings two standing NFL TE records, like what 90 TDs from Brady?
Surely Mack makes it. 3 x AllPro, 7 x ProBowl, Team of the Decade.
Weddle the next guy up after the ones you listed. Pretty strong resume.
No way Brown makes the Hall. Zero.
Cam Newton won a rookie of the year award and an MVP while carrying what was a terrible offense outside of him and an aging Olsen.
He would have a case if the Panthers didnt run him to the ground and actually gave him weapons and a line. Hes one of the biggest what if for me!
(I dont think he ever gets in)
Derrick Henry won’t be another first-ballot RB?
I don’t think he gets in, but Andrew Whitworth deserves consideration. I don’t think the Rams would’ve won that Super Bowl without him.
Richie Incognito should absolutely get in - if the only thing that matters is performance. Guy was an absolute terror on the football field. Apparently a terror off of it too
At some point isn’t someone so bonkers you understand there’s a disorder there? Like Brett Fabre a raking money to me is worse than Antonio brown just being 6 star gta for a decade
