Zach Thomas again a finalist for Pro Football Hall of Fame

danstilldaman said:
I believe he has easy gotten those endorsements by three hall of famers, Peyton Manning, Kevin Mawae, and Jimmy Johnson just to name a few. He's been snubbed long enough and was addressed by both Jimmy and Kevin in their acceptance speeches in the Hall. The injustice has been pointed out over the past 2 years and the Hall should take notice in 2022.

I'm aware of Jimmy Johnson, Kevin Mawae, and even Urlacher.

I'm unaware of Manning openly endorsing Zach Thomas for the hof, do you have a link?

This is the quickest most recent one I could find, but Manning has never been a stranger when it comes to his respect and appreciation for Zach's game.

Very underwhelming class. If he doesn't make it this year it will be a travesty. 5-10 shouldn't even be on the list...
 
He's getting in this year. If you're a betting man, take the free money.

Man I hope he gets in. He is the most overdue dolphin player I can think of.

Bob Kuechenberg ... Jake Scott ... and Dick Anderson are all worth of the HOF, and I think are more "overdue" than Zach Thomas.

Mark Clayton ... Richmond Webb ... and Reggie Roby, you can make strong cases for the HOF as well.

I hope this is Zach's year. I want him inducted so badly!
