I don't mind Hester being inducted at all. 19 special team's TD's is nothing to sneeze at. With how the rules are today it's possible we never see another big time return specialist like him, Dante Hall or Josh Cribbs ever again. It's the same reason why Fred Taylor will eventually get in. The running game is dying in the NFL. Only a few notable exceptions with guys like McCaffrey and an aging Derick Henry that really stood out over the past few years.

I think Fred's total yards from scrimmage is pretty remarkable career wise. Especially when you consider he missed probably 60 career game opportunities to really pad those stats. And, with a 4.6 YPC career average? Even with basic math, if you consider he would probably have 15 carries at the minimum in those games, he missed out on close to 900 - 1000 career rushing attempts, not even factoring in potential receptions he could have had. He's easily a 17,000+ career yards from scrimmage player.

I don't think it's a matter of if with him anymore. It's a matter of when.
