Every NFL team’s current player on a path to the Hall of Fame
Carolina Panthers: RB Christian McCaffrey
It proved to be a forgettable 2020 for one of the most productive running backs in the NFL. Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey played in only three games this past season but his four-year body of work speaks volumes. A total of 51 games has added up to 5,817 yards from scrimmage and a combined 45 TDs.
Chicago Bears: OLB Khalil Mack
The fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by Raiders has now made the Windy City his him the past three seasons. Khalil Mack has been named to six straight Pro Bowls, earned three All-Pro nods and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2016. He’s rolled up 70.5 sacks and 23 forced fumbles in seven seasons.
Cincinnati Bengals: RB Joe Mixon
Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green would have qualified here but he’s now a member of the Cardinals. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins was released this offseason. Running back Joe Mixon comes off an injury-shortened year. From 2018-19, he combined for a solid 2,888 yards from scrimmage and 17 scores.
Cleveland Browns: DE Myles Garrett
This selection could cause a bit of a stir for some considering wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is on the roster. But there’s a reason Myles Garrett was the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He comes off an All-Pro campaign in 2020 and in four seasons has totaled 42.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles in 51 games.
