Taking a look at that, I would put Dillon firmly in the "not likely" category. Same with Eddie George. Both are low on the list, relatively speaking. I think both of those guys, Jackson included, are in the Hall of Very Good. Dillon just doesn't have the accolades. Four Pro Bowls and a ring. No All-Pros, no OPOY, no ROY. I could be wrong, but I would bet on no.

Broke the NFL single game rushing record
Broke the NFL single game rookie rushing record.

When it comes to individual game performances, Dillon had some real jaw droppers.  The dude was something else.  There are stat compilers and then there are guys that carry an offense.  Corey carried an offense and if I'm not mistaken, broke one of those records when the offense threw for 14 yards.

I don't think voters care about second team All-Pros, so he'd have one AP, an OPOY and four Pro-Bowls. For example, his resume is similar to a guy like Chris Johnson who had three Pro-Bowls, an AP and an OPOY. The problem is that CJ2K fell off pretty sharply. Now, I think Henry's resume is better than CJ2K but it's not a drastic difference.

I do think that Henry will continue his trajectory and end up being a HoFer but he isn't a HoFer as of today IMO. He's on pace for another 2k season, though. Probably another AP, maybe an OPOY. I would expect him to have the accolades necessary by the end of his career.

He was/is just a nasty person who always seemed angry at life for some reason. When people don't like you, they aren't apt to vote for you.
