Best Hall of Fame Class Ever?

In five years, there's going to be one hell of a Hall of Fame class in Canton, Ohio at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This offseason has seen the retirements of some of the game's all-time greats at their positions: Larry Allen at offensive guard, Jonathan Ogden at offensive tackle, Warren Sapp at defensive tackle, Michael Strahan at defensive end and Brett Favre at quarterback.

Each should be a shoo-in. They are among the most dominant players ever to step on a football field, and throughout each player's career, there was at least one point where you could call them the single best player in the NFL at their position.

Something else to think about is this: Linebacker Junior Seau has yet to sign a contract anywhere. Although many believe he is likely re-sign with the New England Patriots, what if he surprises people and decides to hang 'em up? The rules of the Pro Football Hall of Fame state that only five players can get in at once. Which means if Seau does retire, one of these six fabulous players would have to unjustly wait a year to be enshrined. Glad I wouldn't have to make that decision.
