The Pro Football Hall of Fame snubbed Tommy Nobis, a player his peers described as an all-time great. That is not surprising in and of itself, given that Falcons have traditionally not made their way to Canton.
That won’t be true forever, however, and it’s increasingly not true now. Deion Sanders and Claude Humphrey are both in, and there has been renewed appreciation for players like Nobis and Mike Kenn, even if their excellence has unfortunately still not been recognized with enshrinement. With that in mind, who might be the next Falcons Hall of Famer?
I’ve got six names in mind.
