Darrell Green and the Hall of Fame?

First ballot. No brainer. In his prime who was better than DG??

If Darrell Green isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer, then the voters should have their voting privledges revoked. Also, Monk should have been voted in a while ago, it's a shame that he's still having to wait to get in!

of all the guys in the last twenty years of the league,well the ones not in the hall yet,i would think that darrell green and jackie slater are about the only ones to be sure 1st round locks.

Matty:

I want to pick a nit with your post here. Darrell Green was not the first shut down corner (before Deion). There were shut-down cornerbacks before Darrell Green came into the league.

Dick "Night Train" Lane, Lem Barney, Herb Adderley and Willie Brown come immediately to mind.

Interestingly, I believe all four of those gentlemen are in the Hall of Fame.
