It’s always exciting when one of a franchise’s all-time greats is up for potential induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We’ve watched in recent years as both Will Shields and Willie Roaf were both immortalized with busts of their own in Canton, Ohio. Now in the coming year, we might see two more members of the Kansas City Chiefs honored alongside the best professional football players ever in tight end Tony Gonzalez and offensive lineman Brian Waters.
Eligible for 1st time for Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2019:
S Ed Reed
TE Tony Gonzalez
CB Champ Bailey
LB London Fletcher
CB Asante Samuel
LB Jonathan Vilma
OG Brian Waters

Gonzalez is largely considered a shoe-in candidate as a first-ballot entrant for the Hall of Fame, although clearly we’re a year away from knowing for sure.
