He's seemingly always on the shortlist; he's almost never overlooked. That's not stats, per se, but it is something. An achievement of sorts. The HOF is partly star power, after all, and not many have more of it than Chad. Certainly no Bengals. Whatever he might have lacked in career numbers and trophies he more than made for in... basically every other area. He needs to get in.

While I'd love to see Chad get in, there are still quite a number of guys ahead of him among WRs.

Jimmy Smith
Anquan Boldin
Torry Holt (I honestly thought he was in already)
Steve Smith
Reggie Wayne
Andre Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Antonio Brown

As much as I hate to put Brown on that list, his 2013-2018 were absolutely monstrous. Had the dude not become a PR nightmare after leaving PIT, I have no doubt he would have gone on to become a Top 10 receiver stat-wise of all time and shoe-in for the HOF.
