Steelers WR Santonio Holmes Eyeing Hall Of Fame
Filed Under: , ,

As the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony approaches, one current player who eventually wants to get in has much more impressive credentials than he did when the current calendar year commenced. Receiver Santonio Holmes, who didnt break out in his third NFL regular season, had a stellar postseason with the Steelers, culminating in a championship-winning touchdown catch and a Super Bowl MVP trophy. And he wants to keep it going. Before I started in the NFL, before I got drafted, I told a group of friends that no matter what I did throughout my career, I wanted to be in the Hall of Fame, Holmes recently told Steve Greenberg of Sporting News. That is something that would touch me more than everything that comes with being a star. . . . Thats still my goal. Regardless of me winning the Super Bowl, playing in the Pro Bowl, having a 1,000-yard season, I want to be in the Hall of Fame. And whatever it takes to get into the Hall of Fame, thats what Im going to do.

Very unlikely. You aren't half of Hines and he isn't even in the HOF convo.

He's still young.

Ward is entering his 12th year. Holmes is entering his fourth.

Holmes is putting up much better numbers through three seasons than Hines did...granted Holmes has a better team and surroundings than Hines did, but the point is that it is too early to say that Holmes won't be a great player...

I see no reason you couldn't put Hines Ward into a Hall of Fame conversation...he's going to have numbers just as good and better than some of the current members, he's got two Super Bowl rings, a Super Bowl MVP, All-Pro Selections, Pro-Bowls. I don't know if he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but he'll be in the conversation when he retires.

Yea I guess he will be in the Convo because of some of the guys in the HOF but to me the HOF should be reserved for the Elite of the Elite and Hines is a level below that for me personally.
