Buried in the article a bit. He certainly deserves it.

The fact Webb is not in, and Zach Thomas is in , is a total joke.

No Lechler is a bigger joke:

47.56 Yards per Punt (Leads all players with at least 500 Punts).
7X Pro Bowl (2001, 2004, 2007-2011)
6X First-Team All-Pro (2000, 2003, 2004, 20082010)
3X Second-Team All-Pro (2001, 2007, 2011)
4X Punting Yards Leader (2003, 2008-2009, 2017)
NFL 2000's All-Decade Team (2010s All-Decade tbd)
NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team

"Cal (9-3) vs. Texas A&M (9-3). On the list of rare sights in Southern California, a team running the option -- as the Aggies like to do with QB Stephen McGee -- ranks right up there with real breasts and 12 inches of snow." Stewart Mandel CNNSI

Meh, not really. Lechler was an all-time great, no doubt. But an all-time great punter. Nothing like being one of the best O-linemen of all time.

But yeah, Shane should be in the HOF...after Webb.

Thomas is a seven time all-pro. His Hall of Fame credentials are not really debatable

Webb should've gotten in long ago

Isn't Ray Guy the only punter currently in the Hall of Fame - as a punter? Ther may be other players who are in for their play at other positions but also may have punted - Blanda was QB, but also on occasion kicked FG's and punted.

I sat next to Webb in a class with assigned seating. Dude is smart as well as being the main reason Dan Marino set all of those records.

This is correct, and he just got voted in a few years ago. Many believed, at the time, that he was voted in because everyone knew that Lechler would/should be a HOF'r, but they didn't feel like they could vote in Shane without Ray.
