Barnwell names future Hall of Famers on every NFL team: Who will ultimately be enshrined?

Bill Barnwell’s long-form analysis breaks down which NFL players are most likely to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, using historical comparisons rather than “who should” be voted in. He frames the universe by noting how the share of Hall of Famers has been small: from the 2002 season, when there were 32 teams, 54 players appeared in at least one game and later entered the Hall. He also excludes some cases like Tom Brady, who becomes eligible in 2028, and treats others as “borderline.” Barnwell evaluates candidates across five categories, from “in” locks to “missing out,” stressing positional voting trends.
