Boselli was the best for about a 5 year span.  Is that enough for the HOF?

Dwight Stephenson was the best C for a 6 year span and he made the HOF.

Gale Sayers played 68 games. He made the HOF.

When you are one of the best of all time, you make the Hall.

I think this is what makes Boselli a Hall of Famer this year.  This is not a star studded list of candidates.  For instance, Willie Anderson (OT) played 2x as many games as Boselli but only made 4 Pro Bowls.  In the meantime Boselli made 5 Pro Bowls in half the amount of time.

Back then, the Pro Bowl was a big deal whereas today it's watered down by players deferring, allowing people like Mac Freaking Jones to actually participate.  LOL  A dude that averaged 185 passing yards while throwing 9 TDs and 8 Ints in his final 7 games of the season.
