To move onto a different player
One player who looks like he could belong in the Hall of Fame based solely off of his resume (and is already in the Hall of Very Good here) is the Dolphins free safety Jake Scott.
When I look at his resume, I see five pro bowls, four all pro teams (1972 and 1975 being second team, with 1973 and 1974 being first team), 49 interceptions, and a further five in the playoffs. He also was a Super Bowl MVP, and was a part of a handful of top five defenses in his time, with both the 72 and 73 Dolphin championship teams having the best defense in the league by points.
Scott also added about 1,500 yards of returns on the side, and actually led the AFC in punt return yards in 1971.
Not sure how that necessarily compares to other Hall of Fame safeties, but that looks like someone who could belong in Canton.
At the same time though, not everything that a player does is a recorded statistic, so if there's anything to add that is related to how he played that isn't mentioned there, then feel free to share it.
