Poll of the Day: Which WR is MOST LIKELY to get inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013: Brown, Carter or Reed?
Since the AFL-NFL merger back in 1970, there have been seven wide receivers inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Here's the list of receivers (see all Hall of Famers): Michael Irvin, Steve Largent, James Lofton, Art Monk, Jerry Rice, John Stallworth and Lynn Swann.
Three of the 15 finalists for 2012 Hall of Fame induction (but not selected) were wide receivers: Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Andre Reed.
All three of those receivers rank in the top 10 all-time in NFL receptions: Carter (1,101) is fourth, Brown (1,094) is fifth and Reed is tenth (951). Carter ranks eighth all-time in touchdowns (130) while Brown is tied for 17th with Hall-of-Famer Largent at 101.
As far as all-time receiving yards, Brown is fourth all-time (14,934), Carter is eighth (13,899) and Reed is 12th (13,198).
Granted, it is possible that none of these receivers get inducted next year, but which of the three receivers is the MOST LIKELY to get inducted in 2013?
