Who of that late-'70s/early-'80s bunch who isn't already in the HOVG - nor in Canton itself - do you think should be in each fraternity?

Only two I can think of for the hovg are Rolland Lawrence and Jeff Van Note

Kenn for the HOF ... Andrews and Riggs for HOVG. Cant remember if Van Note had made HOVG? Jenkins had a great career in Atlanta but falls short. Kenny Johnson was a tough player but too slow. Lawrence reminds me of Everson Walls, high-risk, high-reward but has a case for HOVG. Pridemore had a great career in Atlanta too, like Thielemann ...

Brian: Van Note is not in the hovg

This stat from last night's Monday Night Football reminded me of how good a player Atlanta Falcons' running back William Andrews was:

Stat to know: Robinson has the third-most scrimmage yards in a season (2,255) over the past 10 years, behind Christian McCaffrey in 2019 and Saquon Barkley in 2024. It's also the most scrimmage yards in Falcons history, surpassing William Andrews. Robinson had a career-high 195 rushing yards, as well.

Andrews could do it all and despite only 5 productive years, was also 2nd Team All-Pro twice ... was actually surprised Robinson surpassed him in scrimmage yardage.

Van Note was inducted to the HoVG in 2023.
