Detroit Lions

Notable Hall of Fame Snub: WR Herman Moore

The Lions actually don’t have a ton of notable snubs for the Hall of Fame, a fact that may be due to the fact that the franchise has struggled to make a huge impact on the NFL since the merger. One player who should receive more consideration for Canton is Moore, who was Detroit’s top receiver throughout the 1990s.

Moore was particularly dominant between 1994 and ’97, registering all four of his Pro Bowl and All-Pro appearances while racking up over 1,000 yards per season. The fact that Moore was able to be so productive in an offense headlined by future Hall-of-Famer Barry Sanders in the backfield should give him more consideration since Moore was likely ahead of his time.

Green Bay Packers

Notable Hall of Fame Snub: WR Sterling Sharpe

The story of Sharpe is another case of a player who put together an extremely productive career in a short time span. A star for Green Bay from 1988-94, Sharpe led the NFL in receptions three times and touchdowns twice while making five Pro Bowls and three All-Pro first teams.

A serious neck injury forced Sharpe into early retirement after the 1994 season, robbing him of the chance to compile more dominant statistics with a rising star in Brett Favre. The fact that Terrell Davis and Tony Boselli have been inducted into the Hall of Fame in recent years is good news for Sharpe, who was unquestionably one of the league’s best receivers in his prime.
