Larry Brooks

5 Pro Bowls. 2 AP nods. Comparable to Smerlas (already in HOVG.)

I would pick him over Antwine, who is on the ballot.

Brooks had great sack totals. But are people burned out on Rams defensive line?

Antwine was inducted to the HOVG last year in 2023.

No, he came seven votes short.

This is probably going to sound like a boneheaded question but you say Antwine is on the ballot. Where would that ballot be?

The Ballot for Last Year's HoVG (too late to vote now) is about 20 posts down on the first page of HOF and HOVG Talk, below.
Here it is: https://www.profootballresearchers.org/ ... 2f7d71e372

As the next question is often "what is the process?" here's a link to that, too:

Thank you of informing me of those links.

Was just curious because I thought you implied that the ballot for 2024 had been released, and I haven't sent my suggestions in yet.

Was told it would be a little later in the year.
