Unfortunately, I don’t think he gets in. He’s beloved in Philly and, over the last several years, has consistently been one of the top centers in the league. PFF had him ranked #2 coming into this season and currently ranked #1.
Breaking it down further, in 13 rated seasons (counting this one), he has 4 1st place ratings and 8 top-3 finishes.
The thing is that when he falls out of the top 3, he’s not 4th or 5th ranked. He’s in the 10s or 20s. So he didn’t have this string of dominance that most HOFers have. And he’s at a position that doesn’t often get into the HOF.
Kelce s my favorite center ever. He deserves to have his number retired. And if there’s any justice in the world he’ll get into the HOF. But statistically, the odds are against him.
