Note well that no TE has ever been elected his first eligible year. Randy Gradishar sits at 3/7 in his "1st team all pro/pro bowl" numbers, but he's got plenty of similar Senior Candidate company at LB in such folks as Chris Hanburger (3/9), Maxie Baughan (3/9), Les Richter (1/8), Chuck Howley (5/6), Joe Fortunato (3/5), Isiah Robertson (3/6), and Andy Russell (1/7). Fortunato is helped further by being a member of the all-50s decade team; none of the rest of these LBs are on one. I think Gradishar belongs in, but he's got more competition than one may think.

Elway would have gone into the Hall even if the Broncos didn't win SB XXXII and XXXIII. The wins just guaranteed him getting in on the first ballot.

I’d like to name every one of you here today, but time won’t allow. Just know that I’m proud to have called you my friends and my teammates. This bust here would not be here, and neither would I, if it weren’t for you guys. People sometimes don’t realize how dependent the quarterback is on his teammates to do their jobs. For every guy that ever stepped onto a field with me, I accept this honor today on behalf of all of you. Thanks for protecting me, catching my passes, defending our goal line, for sharing my highs and lows. And more than anything, thanks for not losing confidence in me when I lined up for a snap as a rookie behind the left guard." That includes TD. Elway, in his HOF speech said:
