Houston Texans – Andre Johnson, WR

This is the only time we’ll stray from our stated rules. Frankly, because the Texans were only created in 2002, there aren’t any players who are eligible worth talking about. However, Johnson is certainly going to get some votes when his time comes.

Johnson played 14 seasons (12 with Houston) and racked up 14,185 receiving yards, leading the league twice. The Miami product was a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time First-Team All-Pro.

Indianapolis Colts – Jeff Saturday, C

In 1999, the former North Carolina center joined the Colts as an undrafted free agent. Fourteen years later, Saturday retired after being the lynchpin for many great Colts teams engineered by future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning.

Saturday made six Pro Bowls and was a two-time First-Team All-Pro, making him not only one of the best UDFAs of all time, but also deserving of a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Jacksonville Jaguars – Tony Boselli, OT

Players who only play in the NFL for seven seasons rarely make the Hall of Fame. Yet, for the 1995 No. 2 overall pick, there should be an exception. He was the first draft pick ever made by the expansion franchise, and he anchored the line for the team’s first six seasons. He made five Pro Bowls and was a three-time First-Team All-Pro selection. That he’s not in the Hall is a travesty.
