Manning took down the greatest dynasty in NFL history twice in the Super Bowl, is part of one of football’s most famous families and is one of the greatest New York Giants of all time. Here’s your safest lock of this future Hall of Fame class. Manning will make it in on his first attempt.

Vinatieri is arguably the greatest place kicker of all time. A key member of those New England Patriots Super Bowl teams, we don’t think Vinatieri waits long to get his gold jacket.

Kuechly set a standard for linebacker play with the Carolina Panthers in the 2010s that NFL players are still trying to reach. He’s got as good a chance at getting in on his first year of eligibility as any player has recently.

Holt has been a semifinalist 11 times in the past. As one of the integral members of “The Greatest Show on Turf,” we have a feeling the Hall of Fame voters will finally give the wide receiver his due.

Gates helped redefine the tight end position with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers. He’s one of the all-time Chargers players and all-time tight ends in NFL history. He should make it in on his second year of eligibility if the Hall of Fame voters do the right thing.

Allen has been a semifinalist on five different occasions, but it’d feel strange if the Minnesota Vikings great didn’t make it this time around. He’s 12th on the all-time NFL sack list.

Woodson, the all-time Dallas Cowboys safety, has been a semifinalist nine different times. Like Holt, he feels like someone who is beyond due his gold jacket. Perhaps the Hall of Fame voters finally push him over the finish line this time around. We think they will.
