This is a great group! It's interesting all but one played after 2000.

Look like all very deserving.  Was hoping to see Mason Fine but it may be too soon for that.

[UNTLifer]

That is a good class.  Shocked McBee wasn't already in.

[GrandGreen]

Even though I think NT puts far too many in the HOF, can't argue with any of these selections.

Yep.  A player has to be five years removed from the program to be eligible.  So I'd think 2024 (or possibly 2025) is the earliest Mason could be nominated.

This is a unique group in that they are all very deserving.  Congrats to each of them.

Side note:  Brelan is maybe my all time favorite.  He was fun to watch.

Awesome Awasom.

I wasn't familiar with McBee, but reading his resume... yeah, he was long overdue.

About half the times Brelan got the ball on a jet sweep or a quick-out, and just about every time he returned a kick, my body involuntarily stood up, anticipating something amazing about to happen.

And more times than not, it seems it did.

Brelan had a gift for twitch/shiftiness and speed.  Seems like we get that, what? once every 15-20 years? Someone who has both.

Brelan will always be one of my all time favorite players.  When he touched the ball he always had a chance.   Loved him on KO and PR.

I dunno, the Littrell-recruited Darden and Dodge-recruited Brelan were only like 5 years apart.

Darden had the twitch, but did not have Brelan-level speed.

I was always surprised that Brelan didn’t get a roster position in San Diego.   
 

“The best return man in America.”

Congratulations to Brelan.

Haha. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Who do you think was the last one before Brelan? McGrew?
