Lunchbreak: 2 Former Vikings HOF Eligible for 1st Time in 2018

Former Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss and former Minnesota guard Steve Hutchinson are eligible for the honor for the first time.

Ben Goessling of ESPN.com took a look at each player’s potential chances of making it to Canton.

Moss ranks second in NFL history in receiving touchdowns, third in receiving yards, tied for fourth in overall touchdowns and 15th in receptions, though voters' reluctance to usher a slew of prominent wideouts into the Hall of Fame could mean things are somewhat tricky for Moss. Terrell Owens, who caught more passes, posted more yards and matched Moss in overall touchdowns, was denied entry to the Hall of Fame again on Saturday, and receivers like Tim Brown, Andre Reed and Cris Carter had to wait for years before hearing their names called.
