With the new year comes a new round of HOF debates we definitely haven't had many times before! The Pro Football Hall of Fame committee released its final ballot on Thursday, and this is an absurdly stacked ballot. Remember, voters can only vote for five candidates in the modern player pool, so there are going to be some hard choices because everybody on this list has a legitimate case (there is already outrage over Steve Smith Sr. not making the final cut). There are six first-time candidates with all very different cases. DeMarcus Ware feels like the biggest lock of the group, and we're about to see how much the voters really value special teams play with the GOAT returner eligible for the first time. Before you make your predictions, remember: only five guys. Who's getting left out?
