Congrats to Eric Allen!
 
He probably will go in as an Eagle not a Saint. But nonetheless #21 locked it down! Surprised he isn't in our team HOF, but maybe he needed a longer tenure.

I feel like Eric Allen getting in over Jahri Evans was bs. Both made 6 pro bowls but Evans was a 1st team all pro four times, Allen once. Evans won a ring, Allen didnt. Brees will be inducted next year and should campaign for Evans to be inducted too and skip the ceremony if they are not inducted together. Oline had his back, time to have theirs.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame isn't like Cooperstown is with baseball. There is no affiliation with any specific team. Baseball has plaques that include the cap. Football has the bust only so no team is designated other than a list of teams on which played.

True. I meant go in as an Eagle more informally (pictures, video, speech)

With so many deserving players out there still left on the outside looking in I can't see why they could only manage to elect four this year. That means no other finalist could get the required 80% support.
