Really loved his speech. NIce tip of the hat to players like Munoz and his fellow LTs. Nice job!

Good on him for virtually using his entire speech to give thanks to others. Pretty cool to see most the Holmgren era Hawks in attendance with each other as well. And very cool ending the Speech with "Go Seahawks and I love Seattle."

Not a chance Easleys getting in that's why. His career was far too short. Him and Sterling Sharpe were great players, but didn't have the longevity which is a huge part of the Hall.

Gale Sayers had a short career and got in--deservedly. Kenny should too. And I hate the UCLA Bruins. LOL

True. But if Sayers put up that resume in today's NFL standards for the Hall he wouldn't have gotten in.

Easley retired due to a medical condition, his numbers were off the charts and his contributions and game changing ability legendary. I think he may get a nomination and could get in for his body of work while he was in the league. They do those special inductions occasionally.
Kenny Easley
Kenneth Mason Easley Jr.
Position: DB
Height: 6-3 Weight: 206 lbs.
Born: January 15, 1959 in Chesapeake, VA (Age 55.199)
High School: Oscar E. Smith
College: UCLA (school history) (Easley college stats)
Drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 1st round (4th overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft.
Weighted Career AV (100-95-...): 60 (883rd overall since 1950)
5-time Pro Bowler & 3-time First-Team All-Pro
The problem is that the HOF looks at CB'S and Safeties as DB's.

“It’s hard for me to say this, but there was only one guy that I know that’s better and that’s Kenny Easley. He was defensive player of the year and best player to play the safety position, ever.

Interesting. He has said it about Reed and Easley, so who knows? Either way, Easley was absolutely amazing.

Ronnie delivered a lott (haha) of hits. Certainly he absorbed a lot of that impact and his head may not be right because It was only recently that I read him calling Easley the greatest. I think someone here posted it, actually. I was pleasantly surprised with Lott's generosity. Now, not as much. Kam or Earl may be his greatest a few months from now. Maybe it's just a clever way of him keeping his name attached to greatest of all time.
