Not far from my home in Farmington, CT is Bloomfield where Mr. Freeney began playing football.
Congratulations Dwight, somehow I think you deserve more than this.

Sweet! One of my all time favorites.

Didn't wait nearly as long as someone on here claimed he'd have to.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Congrats, Dwight!

So freakin’ deserved. Guy was a monster at SU, and was an all-time pro.

Would love to see the NFL film where they go to his house and we can see his reaction. Love those

 

[OrangePA]

Great news!

 

[GoSU96]

The teams with the most in the ACC , Pitt, SU, Miami. What’s up with that?

With Freeney that’s nine more than Rutgers.

Sweet! One of my all time favorites.

Didn't wait nearly as long as someone on here claimed he'd have to.

I admit I was one of those that thought he'd have to wait a bit longer based on some comments I read from voters over the years, not that I necessarily agreed. But this is awesome to add to the list of SU alums in Canton! Congrats Dwight!

 

[orangenauburn]

Surprised Andre Johnson got in ahead of others

Congrats to Vicks nightmare

I get Hester was great at it, but Kick and Punt returners getting in the HOF is a joke to me. They impact the game the least amount of plays out of any player. I'd rather see a kicker get in.

Dwight deserves it - that said this Hall let's way too many people in each year.

Thanks for doing that research. Saved me a lot of time updating my signature!

Glad Dwight got in as well. I’d actually argue I think it is about right in terms of numbers let in. Basketball is where there are too many let in.

There are greats that struggle to get into the NFL hall of fame. Even now it seems like one of Reggie Wayne, Torry Holt, or Steve Smith might get left out. Jared Allen got leapfrogged by Dwight to get in, which some disagree with if you’re going by strictly numbers. Adam Vaniatari is still waiting. Antonio Gates somehow didn’t get first ballot. Roger Craig is on the 1980’s all decade team and isn’t in. Eric Allen didn’t make it. I think the NFL generally does a good job getting their best players in and there aren’t too many headscratchers for guys who get in.

That is so AWESOME!! My all time favorite Orangeman!

It's hard to come up with a player that dominated a season quite the same way he did in 2001.

Or a single game they way he did against Vick and VT in 2000.

How many did Miami have 10-15 years ago? It seems like they've made a big jump.
