    I saw it, too. Wish him the best.

    Those former Bills are a pretty tight group. Several attended Kent Hull's funeral in Mississippi.

    Thurmond Thomas forgot his suit and missed the beginning of ceremony.

    In all seriousness, IIRC, Thomas was there.

    Six Hall of Famers from a sustained 10-year run.
    Tasker has been a semifinalist a few times and Polian and the late Hull might get in yet.
    Very rare distinction in NFL history.
    God bless Jim Kelly in this fight.

    All six were never on the same team, but your point is well-taken...

    Unless you're counting the coach.

    They were.
    Kelly, Thomas, Reed, Lofton, Bruce Smith and Levy were all members of the 1990, 1991 and 1992 Bills.
    Count it seven with Wilson as owner, although I have argued against that enshrinement in the past.

    I was thinking players only because Joe DeLamielleure retired the year before Kelly joined the Bills...

    If I'm not mistaken, Polian has been a strong supporter of Hull i.e. HOF.
