I really think they both deserve to be in the hall. If I had to pick the one I felt was the best, then I'd pick Riley, but I want to see both of them in the hall.
In looking over those stats one has to add that they did it in an era when much fewer passes were attempted and there were fewer games per year. All four players ahead of Riley are in the hall and many people behind him are as well.
Charles Woodson finally tied Riley for interceptions this, his final year in the league. He'll be a 1st ballet HoFer. Yet it took him more years, with more games per year to catch Riley.
Darrell Green is in with fewer and it took him longer to get those fewer.
Now interceptions isn't the only stat, but both these guys (Riley and Parrish) were good at what they did and they played well in the defense and how it was designed. They both made a difference.
