Personally, the UL player I want to see in the HOF is Charles "Peanut Punch" Tillman.
Why do we need to choose?
Devin Hester was a 3 time All-Pro and on two all-decade teams.
Mitchell was a 1 time All Pro.
I know we like to look at things with Vermilion & White glasses, but Hester was always going to be in as a return specialist before Mitchell due to him separating himself from the rest of his peers as a return man during his best seasons. Three times led the NFL in punt return TDs.
Its just plain criminal that he isn't in the HOF yet. Lead the league in all purpose yards in the history of the NFL the day he retired.
Compared to Brian Mitchell he burned out like a bottle rocket.
He never led the entire all-purpose history of the NFL like Brian Mitchell did.
No Hall of Famer kept playing longer than normal (due to Hester) to recapure the top spot like Jerry Rice had to do after Brian Mitchell retired.
Mitchell will NEVER get in with all this negative talk on RP.
