If the HOF, I think you'd have a hard time making an argument for these guys over all the other potential guys who would be eligible.
Krumrie's best argument might be that he had over 1000 tackles, which may be Top 5 all-time for DL?
How exactly would Casanova get into the HOF with just 6 seasons played? As good as he was for that short time, he doesn't have the long career that HOFers do.
About the only guy I can think of who got into the HOF with a shorter career was Calvin Johnson, and he still played 9 years.
I think the HOF Tiers, for me, would look like this:
1: Kenny Anderson
2: Willie Anderson
3: Geno Atkins, Lemar Parrish, Chad Johnson
4: Krumrie, Dillon, Montoya
5: Everybody else: Casanova, Green, Boomer, Curtis, Fulcher, Brooks.
I do not think Tier 5 guys will ever get in, nor Tier 4. Tier 3 should make it.
