CANTON, Ohio -- With the largest enshrinement weekend in Pro Football Hall of Fame history in the books, an early look at the potential class of 2022 features a trio of wide receivers in their first year of eligibility.
Receivers Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith and Andre Johnson lead the list of players. Pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware and special teams ace/wide receiver Devin Hester have also been out of the league five seasons, making them eligible.
Smith is eighth in all-time receiving yards, while Johnson is 11th. Boldin is ninth all time in receptions. Ware is 13th all time in sacks, including a 20-sack season in 2008.
