The voters can select anywhere from 3 - 7 inductees for a class, each of whom must receive at least 80% of the votes.
The only locks to me in this class are Deion and Marshall.
I think at least one of the receivers (Reed, Carter, & Sharpe) will be inducted tonight, probably Reed because he's been on the ballot longer.
My List:
- Deion Sanders
- Marshall Faulk
- Cris Carter
- Shannon Sharpe
- Charles Haley.
