He needs at least 14,000 receiving yards. That's the threshold for modern Wide Receivers. Tbh, there are guys with 15,000 yards (and rings) that are still waiting around. He's over 5,000 yards away at 31 years old. You guys do the math. I know some people like to think he'll be the same guy til he's 35, but that's pretty rare.
Also keep in mind that he's missed significant time in 3 of the last 5 years. Believe it or not, he has almost the same exact yardage that Chad did after 8 years. Chad had 8,905 yards and AJ has 8,907 yards. This despite Chad barely playing as a rookie. The difference is that Chad didn't miss games and actually produced better yardage despite the era.
Missing games has really hurt his odds. He's missed a full season's worth of games in the last 5 years. Basically, in order to get 14,000 yards, you have to be posting some huge (1600 yards) type of seasons, have good health, consistency and or longevity.
In short, there is no real HOF case for Green.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
