From the article attached:
He was named to six Pro Bowls (1989, 1991–1995). He was a First-Team All-Pro nod in 1989 and a Second-Team All-Pro in 1991 and 1993. He has one more interception than Deion Sanders (and 275 more tackles). If Eric Allen isn’t a Hall of Famer, we need to start re-evaluating what it takes to become one."
I watched his career and he was a lock down CB that QBs avoided. What gives?

And per PFF’s HoF Monitor score, those two are the two highest rated DBs ever. Ronnie Lott is the only one who is close, and everyone else is significantly behind them.
