Looks like Shaun Alexander and Mike Holmgren are also eligible.

Here's one guys prediction for future Hall of Fame Classes:

2014:

First year eligibles: Shaun Alexander, Derrick Brooks, Marvin Harrison, Rodney Harrison, Walter Jones, Zach Thomas, Tony Dungy (coach,) Mike Holmgren (coach)

Walter Jones is basically as close as you're going to get to a surefire first ballot nominee. In an era full of superstar offensive tackles including current HOFers Jon Ogden and Willie Roaf, Jones was probably the best of the bunch.
....

2014 Class Prediction: Derrick Brooks, Walter Jones, Andre Reed, Will Shields, Michael Strahan

Heart Walt! I will b there!

Man I wish I could be there when he goes in. With out a doubt, the best player to ever put on the Jersey, with #80 and Tez a close second. I wish we could have had him for another 15 years though.

Dungy should go in this year. Man has done so much for the game and continues to do so with mentoring of young players in trouble. And he didn
t need yell or swear to achieve success, just used his strength of character.

I agree, he's done quite a bit for the game and players.

I'll add Easley tied for a close second as well.

If Big Walt isn't a first ballot shoo-in, the HOF should be disbanded and voting for it ceased. It would make the screw job the Hawks took in *XL look fair and reasonable.

I think The Walrus gets in at some point, but not this time. Alexander has no chance IMO.
