Jerome Bettis

The beginning ballot for the NFL Hall of Fame 2015 was declared on previous this week and five greats Notre Dame are on the among the 100+ applicants vying for the utmost of eight enshrines.  Two legends of the Irish, though, are obvious from the group and are long overdue for a tour to Canton next summer season–Jerome Bettis and Tim Brown.

It is head scraping to me that a record great such as Tim Brown has not already prepared the tour to Canton.  Rivalry is very tough each and every year for those valuable eight spots, but the resume screams of man that of being a Hall of Famer.  Throughout their illustrious career of 16 year Brown was the only elite wide receivers in the NFL at the time when passing was not enough as prolific as it is currently.

Even as playing most of their career with an unbalanced quarterback condition in the Los Angeles/Oakland, Brown tore it up on the gaming field.

In spite of all of those accolades, Brown has not been known to the Pro Football Hall of Fame so far.  He has been a finalist in all of the previous five years, but to the particular date he has not gotten that yellow color jacket.   Throughout that time three other wide receivers have been preserved –Cris Carter, Jerry Rice, and Andre Reed.  A tough case can be done that Brown was at least as commendable as all but Rice of those three.

Even hopefully functioning in the favor of Brown is their exemplary off the field recommence.  Given the entire of the officially authorized troubles NFL players are facing this year; It is possible that pristine of Brown off the field record will effort in their favor.
