Nah, Edelman actually has almost double his playoff receptions and 50% more playoff yards if his career ended today (in only 1 more game too). Like I said if he hits 8k yards by the time he retires, assuming he continues to add playoff production, he will end up in the HoF. The same way voters hold not getting titles against great players (see Ken Anderson) they push over the top guys who have titles (see Eli Manning).
Branch doesn’t, no. However, Willie McGinest also has three SBs, two Pro Bowls and has the most post-season sacks in NFL history. He isn’t a Hall of Famer.
Hell, Isaac Bruce has over 15,000 yards, SB victory, All-Pro, 4 Pro Bowls and 91 TDs. He isn’t a HoFer, either (yet). You are vastly overrating Edelman’s accomplishments when it comes to HoF eligibility. He has virtually 0% chance to make the HoF right now and he is going to be 33 next season. The only thing that can substantially raise his chances would be if they win another SB or two and he racks up a couple more MVPs. He is not a HOF WR, and this isn’t a hot take. There aren’t many people who believe this.
