Wow ! Ten new additions ... Wistert has his chance but no Lewellen, Brito, Dilweg, Patton, etc ...

Glad Conerly gets discussed ...

Looking at the starting date of the players' careers, I think Wistert's '43 was the earliest. I only glanced at the other group because it doesn't interest me as much.

At least two thirds of the 31 players are HOVG, right? Clayton jumped out to me and I honestly wasn't sure on a few. I don't know HOVG from memory as well as I should.

Virginia McCaskey over Jack Vainisi, are you kidding me?

Alex Gibbs joins Shaughnessy as distinguished assistants ...

Over 30 semifinalists which makes sense but once again, recency bias.
Only two super seniors but Wistert has his chance if not Dilweg.

i'm afraid the ship has sailed on super seniors unless changes are made which I doubt

There is still hope for Isbell, Wistert and Conerly, Robert ... IF one of them can make the finalist list.
I am afraid Brito may never get a chance. Like I stated on Zoneblitz ... too many receivers on this list and other than Sharpe, they may all cancel each other out ...
