Taylor gets in next year I think. There's a lot of good candidates this year, and outside of Suggs & Kuechly I don't see any other surefire first ballot HoF's for next years class. I think they try and put Taylor in during 2025 so that when Frank Gore is eligible in 2026 it's free of controversy.

Josh Allen having 17.5 sacks, and still not being named All-Pro is exhibit A for why all the nonsense about accolades and "Fred was never the absolute best at his position blah blah blah" gets washed away. Either the NFL can decide that playing at a high level for many years is worthy of the HoF, or that no player that suits up in Teal for the Jaguars is worthy of inclusion ever. if Fred played for any other franchise, he'd have been in years ago. Edgerrin James just got in, as good as he was Fred Taylor was head and shoulders better and played for less talented teams.
