Former Bear Brian Urlacher should be first-ballot Hall of Famer

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Brian Urlacher is a Hall of Famer in every sense of the word.

Urlacher -- one of 11 first-year eligible players nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame -- is a no-brainer for enshrinement in Canton.

And he should make it on the first ballot.

Former Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis – also a first-year eligible player – is a lock. In fact, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said if anyone doesn't vote for Lewis on the first ballot, then they have an agenda.

Lewis' name appearing on the ballot should have no bearing on Urlacher's chances of getting in.
