Hines Ward -- Hall of Famer?

You could be right, but I should also point out there aren't many younger journalists on the Committee. When one passes on or is incapacitated, they tend to be replaced by the second-most senior reporter in their market.

 

Amazing how Brown gets trumpeted. Many years he wasn't even the best player on his own team.

I know he had a knee injury, but the early parts of his career are pretty bare.

 

In what years was he not the best receiver on his team?

I don't think Brown is a lock, but he should get in before Ward does.

 

Herman Moore was once the best receiver on his team.

And I'd argue he was a better player than Tim Brown.
