Assessing Active NFL Player's Hall of Fame Odds

It's a debate that NFL fans across the country frequently have when discussing the finest players in the league: Is (insert player) good enough to make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Determining whether or not a player is worthy of being inducted into the Hall of Fame is not nearly as easy it sounds. You have to take a good hard look at the player's accolades (Pro Bowl/All-Pro appearances, Super Bowl titles, various statistical benchmarks, all-time records, consistency, playoff performance, etc.) and the impact they made on the game throughout their career before you can determine if they're going to be fortunate enough to be immortalized with a gold bust and plaque in Canton, Ohio. Out of sheer boredom and morbid curiosity, I decided to assess the Hall of Fame odds for today's NFL greats. It should be noted that I don't any have concrete evidence as to why I believe these guys will make or miss the Hall of Fame, it's simply an opinion I formed after breaking down these player's resumes and how they stack up against guys that have already been enshrined in Canton. Hope you enjoy and I encourage all of you to share your thoughts on my list or your own list of future Hall-of-Famers in the comment section below.
