Here's the original preliminary list...
Five players that should be publicized and promoted to the hilt, and it's a travesty that they haven't already been enshrined...
1. Ray Guy, P - The best punter, ever, still to this day.
2. Andre Reed, WR - Plus 2 = Carter and Brown. I have no clue what criteria the voters use to determine eligibility for WR's compared to other positions, but the fact that none of these three have made it yet underscores a flaw in the system, or simply an overall under-appreciation for the position.
3. Steve Tasker, ST - Some may view this as a homer pick, but let's face it...Tasker put special teams on the NFL map and any individual that has that kind of impact on the game deserves to be recognized. There are plenty of guys in the league today on just about every roster that would probably be selling insurance or real estate if it weren't for Tasker.
4. Bruce Armstrong, T - Maybe the premier tackle of the 90's.
5. Lester Hayes, CB - Helped define the term 'shutdown'.
