Big Willie was a no-brainer and this should help with his much-deserved induction into Canton.
I'm really glad that an old-school Bengal was selected. Don't be misled by his stats. It was a different era, and he was the dominant receiver of his time. Hell, Pittsburgh changed their whole defense to slow him down, which led to the rules being changed. I have great memories of him catching a bomb from Kenny in stride, crossing the goal line and casually flipping the ball over his shoulder. He was the first 85. Next year will be Chad's turn.
