If you can't add SB champion in with all those accolades. Doesn't really separate them from the pack. Unfortunately RB is just like WR, there's a lot of dominants throughout nfl history, with short and long tenures with no trophy. On the other hand they should get in on their own merit.

I can't believe you compared Terrell Davis in comparison to Holmes. TD was much more productive in 7 seasons compared to Holmes 11. Especially in Superbowls. Holmes SB stats are non existent basically. He had 4 carries for 8yrds and 1 catch for 4 yrds. Davis has 157 rushing yrds in 3 quarters. Still a record 3 rushing TDs. +3 catches for 12 yrds. In SB total 55 carries 259yrds in 2 SB. In his 8 postseason games from 1996 to 1998, his numbers were staggering: 204 carries for 1,140 yards and 12 touchdowns, along with 19 receptions for 131 yards. QHe's still only one of 8 players to rush for 2,000yrds in his career. The 4th when done. He is also a 6 time probowl, 4 x 1st team all pro, 2 x NFL offensive player of the year. NFL All Decade teamÀ for the 90's. On top of that hes help the Broncos win 2 Superbowls and was MVP in the SB win in 98 against Greenbay. And I can go on. So I would say that Terrell Davis was deserving of the HOF much more than Holms.

How can you make a comment like that first sentence then go ahead and compare one game in a SB as an example. Priest was an undrafted rookie or second year player when he went to the SB with the ravens, TD was in the prime of his career. Just a terrible example to prove your point. While I agree TD was probably better, there are a lot of comparisons to them both

Holmes will be in the HOF some day! The man broke the Rushing TD record and was a beast!! Dez messed up by not taking that deal with the ravens! Would’ve ended up playing with Lamar!

I wonder in the future will any running backs be able to make it into the hall anymore since the position is so devalued these days and teams move on from running backs so quickly these days?

Devin Hester... killed as a returner, but never panned out as a receiver. He had Jay Cutler throwing to him most of his career. It would be interesting to see him with a top ten QB when he was in his prime.

Absolutely. John Jefferson was on track for a Hall of Fame career but after leaving San Diego, his career swiftly declined. Duane Thomas could be an honorable mention.

I remember Bob Lilly saying Duane Thomas reminded him of Jim Brown in the America's Game documentary for the 1971 Cowboys.

Wes Welker is a HoF lock i don't know what this video is on about. He is the one constant the two most dominant offenses in NFL history. He also single handedly changed how teams used the slot receiver for over a decade. He will be in canton with 0 doubts in my mind.
