For the last 20 years, Everson Walls never put much thought into being a Hall of Famer.
“The first list I would come out, I would make it initially and then got voted out anyway,” he said. “So it never really mattered. I never made it this far.”
But Walls is rather “far” along now in the process, being named one of the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time in his career. In fact, it’s better late than never for Walls, who is in his final year of eligibility as a modern-day finalist.
