Future HOFers? (5 years or less in the league)

[Gaycandybacon]

Clay Matthews has potential to be a HOF.

I love the JPP call. My only real Gronk question is what happens when Brady retires?

I think Clay Matthews is gonna be one, also like Patrick Peterson after one year. I also think Joe Thomas, one of the Pouncy brothers (if not both), Calvin Johnson as well.

For some reason when I watch Gronkowski, I don't necessarily think/see "Man, he's going to be a HOFer one day" written on him.

Here are a couple off the top of my head that could be potential HOFers.

LeSean 'Shady' McCoy - Arguably, the best RB in the NFL right now. But as with any RB, they are suspect to injuries which can derail a RB's career in a split second.

Von Miller - A lot hinges on this year. Let's see how he handles getting more attention in the opponents blocking schemes.

Patrick Peterson - Possibly the next Deion Sanders.

Calvin Johnson - Randy Moss without the 'Play when I wanna' attitude.

Ndamukong Suh -Despite the fact that he was drafted second overall, he's has the playing intensity like he was an undrafted rookie with something to prove.

Ray Rice - He's gonna surprise folks and have one of those quiet Curtis Martin-type careers.

Aaron Rodgers was on my mind but I didn't mention him because of the parameters of the question.

You're a homer

(See I did it? )

Seriously though the guy hasn't played a single down in the NFL and you're saying he's gonna be a HOFer? Sheesh, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment as almost every franchise that has lost a HOF/Franchise QB has had at least 5 years of struggle and in some cases even longer (Buffalo, Miami)

I'll speak on my team...

Potential for HOF careers? Arian Foster, Brian Cushing, JJ Watt and Duane Brown.
