The year was 2007, the setting is Monday Night Football. First came of the season, and Chad Ochochinco(then Johnson) just caught a TD pass from Carson Palmer. After doing so against the Baltimore Ravens Chad runs to the sideline and puts on a jacket reading future hall of famer year 20??. Kind of ironic now, let me explain.
After looking at the actual stats last night I've come to this conclusion. Chad more than likely without some help from a winning teamwork won't make it in any time soon. Out of the top 25 receiving leaders of all time only 7 are actually hall of famers as we speaking. Let's take into account that at least Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Tim Brown, and Chris Carter are all not in and they're all shoe ins. Just a matter of when they make it.
Knowing that I'd say it takes a lot for receiver's not named Jerry Rice to make it to Canton. The question is after a dismal season in New England can Chad's legacy be helped enough to make it in. Though he was the best WR in Bengals history before him it was Issac Curtis. And he's not enshrined in Canton as of today.
Let me know what you think. And who's the next receiver's to make it in.
