Pretty impressive.

I'm ashamed to say I could only name 4 of them before I gave up and Googled it. When I saw the entire list I had the forehead-slapping moment. "Of course! Should have thought of those three as well!" I originally had the fifth one was a possibility, but then I overruled myself. As it turned out my first instinct was correct and he is, in fact, in the HOF.

Here are two other Gophers who might deserve consideration for enshrinement. Interesting that both were Denver Broncos:

Rick Upchurch:
Bleacher Report lists him as the #2 NFL return man, all-time.

Karl Mecklenburg:
He played in six Pro Bowls. His 79 sacks is the third highest total in franchise history; he is one of only three Broncos with four sacks in a game, and the only one to do so twice.

Mecklenburg isn't in the PFHOF? Wow, that surprises me.
