Art Monk definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame, but he was so incredibly smooth, quiet, and low key, that apparently, no one else in the league ever even noticed him. He had deceptive speed, due to his long strides; impressive leaping ability; great hands; and was fearless. I never remember him celebrating his own accomplishments, whether it was a touchdown or a first down, because he knew it was a team effort, and he was always there for the team.

I don't begrudge any of the many quarterbacks in the hall of fame their status, but it does seem that they have an easier time getting in. I must be honest with myself, though-- I've always loved Johnny Unitas, but I can't remember who any of his favorite receivers were...
