Mark McCants Returner and HOF deserved

Take a look at Mark Mc Cants return records over the years. He leads the league all time in kickoff returns. I don't know if he ever was a Super Bowl winner but it shouldn't matter. The dude can take it back and does on a regular basis. I think he should at least be considered, no I think he should be enshrined. What do you guys think? What do you think norm?

When I saw he had 0 PR TDs, I thought this was a troll post. But then I saw he had 21 KR TDs in the regular season and 3 KR TDs in the postseason. I think you have a point. To be by far the greatest at something in a league with 30+ seasons, he has my vote.

He has my vote - 8 of those return TDs were for my Wraiths/Slugs, and he put up solid rushing numbers for us too.

I guess this is a reminder to update the hall of fame at long last... send me any other nominations you have. The longer between updates, the harder it is to find people. It was easier when I did it every year to see who had just retired. Maybe I will finally get some time off during the holidays and get a chance to update.

Michael Cole: https://moguls.myfootballnow.com/player/1496

He played in the inception era and was consistently a top performer and still ranks #15 in yards and #17 in receiving TDs.

He should receive consideration from the veteran's committee.

McCants isn't even retired yet! Not eligible at this point.

Cole - the reconsideration committee is sticking to the initial conclusion - not a hall of famer. Cole was never the top receiver in the league. He had some added stats due to longevity but not enough to enter to the upper tiers. Look at his contemporaries in the same stat range:

Daniel Cornelius, Ali Selner, Robin Souders. Derrick Burch and Daniel Sharpe have more TDs. All of them not hall of famers. If Cole is a hall of famer, all of those guys have an argument too. Those guys were all just solid players, very good players. But not hall of fame standard.

And I was motivated enough to do 2048! We will see how long it takes to get the rest of the hall updated.

James Galloway, world class kicker. Super Bowl MVP. HoF material.

A pair of no doubt Hall of Famers retired from London following 2053:

LDE Tom Dovo
167 career sacks - tied for 6th all time
491 tackles
165 hurries
2038 Defensive Rookie of the year
3 time Super Bowl champion - Super Bowls 31, 32, 33
19 career postseason sacks - 5th all time

WR Wayne Conner
13,506 career receiving yards - 1st all time
872 regular season receptions - 3rd all time
90 career regular season TDs - 8th all time
2044 Offensive Rookie of the year
1280 postseason yards - 6th all time
6 postseason TDs

Conner will obviously go into the Hall as a Chicago Bear, while Dovo stands as one of the greatest Monarchs to ever don the Royal Blue and Gold!

yeah, I forgot he hasn't retired yet. I keep him on my roster for the kickoffs because you guys kick off a lot when you play me.
Reuben Souders was a killer WR for us back in the offensive era. I have always thought he was deserving of consideration for the HOF.
