AJ Green just never reached the peak needed for real HoF consideration. He was never a 1st Team All-Pro and never led the NFL in receiving yards (5th was the highest he got). He's about 4k yards behind Andre, so he missed out on the peak and missed out on the duration. He really didn't do a ton after his first 5 years.
Chad certainly had the peak, multiple 1st Team All-Pros, a receiving title, and arguably the best WR in the NFL over a 3 year span... but he didn't do it long enough. He's 40th in receiving yards right now between DeSean Jackson and Joey Galloway. I think if he was on a team that won he could have overcome the lack of duration, but that PLUS the lack of winning has made him drop even though I think he should be a fringe candidate.
Granted I didn't think Andre Johnson was going to get in either. I thought he'd be in the same category as Chad and Brandon Marshall with guys like AJ Green and Roddy White being a small step/category behind them.
