Technically Kendall Hilton is already, if only in jersey form

Rodgers and Mahomes are it. Nobody else retiring today is ever going to sniff it.

Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, and Matthew Stafford (maybe)

Mahomes and Rodgers should get in instantly, and I believe Russell Wilson would get in over time.

Mahomes and Rodgers are locks, Russ and Stafford are wild cards.

Recently Retired/Not Yet Eligible:

• Brady (1st ballot)

• Brees (1st ballot)

• Roethlisberger (not 1st ballot, eventual)

Current players:

• Mahomes (could retire tomorrow and would already be 1st ballot)

• Rodgers (slam dunk 1st ballot)

• Mike Glennon (1st ballot)

Mahomes and Rodgers. Put them both in Canton tomorrow.

Need a bit more from Russ, but if not I could see him as a legacy guy getting in 25+ years from now

Not impossible for Stafford but he needs to get busy. He’s a team honor guy for sure though

Kirk might be a ring of honor guy here in Minnesota but I have my doubts he’s anything more than that.

Everyone else has so much more to be written.

Rodgers

Aside from Mahomes and Rodgers? There are a few that are borderline but probably wouldn’t make it.

Matt Stafford comes to mind for his impressive stats and his Super Bowl ring. Kirk Cousins has revitalized his career In Minnesota. Lamar Jackson is the only one not named “Patrick Mahomes” or “Aaron Rodgers” who has an MVP. That’s the best I can come up with.

Mahommes and Rodgers are first ballot unanimous HOF.

We could make arguments for Russ, Kirk, and Matt Stafford.

Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen have nice resumes too

Mahomes and Rodgers.

Stafford and Russ probably gets a few votes.

Nobody else is remotely close

Mahomes, Rodgers and Stafford. Russ potentially

matt stafford will be top 10 in career passing yards within a season and a half, probably less. not saying he’d be first ballot like rodgers or a lock like mahomes, but if he retired today, it would be a crime to not put someone with his numbers and general career arc in the HOF. everyone above him on that list is either in or will enter the HOF at some point, save for matt ryan (who would be in without 28-3).

mahomes, rodgers, and russ. russ is definitely getting in he was elite for many years in seattle, consistently a top 5 QB. he actually hasn’t been bad this year, his team is just bad

I mean…TODAY? Mahomes and Rodgers are 100%. Maybe…MAYBE Stafford.

Hurts, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Cousins either need time and/or Super Bowl rings to get in there
