It seems in 2020, more than in previous years, players are doing their best to help their NFL brethren get into the Hall of Fame. Maybe it is the power of social media, but players, not always former teammates, are doing what they can to draw positive attention to those vying for enshrinement.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, we’ve already seen this as Tom Brady and Ray Lewis both gave verbal support for Troy Polamalu to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. As for Alan Faneca, who has been a finalist for the Hall of Fame for several years, he got a boost from an unlikely source in former Chicago Bears LB Brian Urlacher.
