McGinest has a legit shot. There's only one kicker in Canton (Stenerud) and he had about a 20 year career. Vinatieri needs to make a few more clutch kicks for the Dolts--you don't get into Canton off 3-4 seasons of performance.
Law isn't getting in. His post-Foxboro career was underwhelming. Not when he's measured against guys like Woodson and Champ Bailey. Lynch will, but no one is going to consider him a Patriot--it's a toss-up whether he goes in as a Bronco or Buc.
Basically--the only lock is Brady. First ballot right now, even if he never took another snap.

Keep in mind that Law had one of his best seasons the year he played on the Jets (10 int's). Also, he's got 52 career INT's and has 3 SB rings. He's been to 5 Pro Bowls and led the league in INT's twice. I don't think it's as much of a stretch as you think.
Granted, it will need to be a pretty weak HOF class for him to make it in, but he'll have a shot. |

I got to agree with Mike on this one also !
As much as I like Vinatieri (and I think he should have been MVP for atleast one of their super bowl wins)
If Ray Guy isn't in not likely for Adam to get in !

Morten Anderson will be the next kicker to get in.
Belicheck will have HOF credentials. He already has. There are people like Marv Levy and Bud Grant in as coaches, whose claim to fame is losing Super Bowls. Even Weeb Ewbank, who made it on the strength of one game. I can't see how they can keep him out
