Kind of low?

There is a huge backlog of guys who aren't in who probably should be, including Andre Johnson.

 

For comparison's sake, look at this:

Julio Jones 5x All Pro (2x1, 3x2), 1x catch leader, 2x yards leader

Calvin Johnson 4x All Pro (3x1, 1x2), 1x catch leader, 2x yards leader, 1x TD leader

Andre Johnson 4x All Pro (2x1, 2x2), 2x catch leader, 2x yards leader

Steve Smith 4x All Pro (2x1, 2x2), 1x catch leader, 1x yards leader, 1x TD leader

Larry Fitzgerald 3x All Pro (1x1, 2x2), 2x catch leader, 2x TD leader

Those guys are all or should all be HoF locks.

 

Now let's look at current guys.

DeAndre Hopkins 5x All Pro (3x1, 2x2), 1x TD Leader

Davante Adams 3x All Pro (3x1), 2x TD leader

Those two aren't far off.

 

Outside of Calvin retiring early, those guys all played until age 34-37 too. Hopkins and Adams are both 30. It'll depend on what else they can accomplish from here on out because for those other guys it's all over the board. Post 30 seasons:

Julio-106 catches 1,504 yards 6 TDs

Calvin-retired

Andre-356 catches 4,529 yards 18 TDs

Steve-457 catches 6,401 yards 31 TDs

Larry-586 catches 6,125 yards 34 TDs

If either one has Andre Johnson type longevity, I think they get it.

Thats what Im saying, because there is such a backlog of WRs for the HOF they just trickle in every year. Its the easiest position in the NFL to put up HOF numbers for. Especially in the last 15 years of pass-happy offenses.
