20. Ndamukong Suh, DT – Detroit:

The 27 year old has been very good in his NFL career, but if he wants to make it into the Hall of Fame he needs to turn in some truly dominant seasons in the next couple years. Although, he has amassed 31 sacks and 206 tackles at the defensive tackle position in just four and a half seasons. If the Lions continue have success as a team, like they are so far in 2014, that can’t hurt his chances — if he stays in Detroit that is.

19. Louis Vasquez, OG – Denver:

Vasquez put together four solid seasons before turning a corner in 2013, making the Pro Bowl and being named First-Team All-Pro. He’s 27 and he’ll have to continue to play at this current level for the next seven years or so to be considered for the Hall. That said, he’s on a good team and has a chance to help bring a few rings to Denver in the next couple seasons.

18. LeSean McCoy, RB – Philadelphia:

“Shady” McCoy has put together quite the career and is still only 26 years old. He’s ran for 1,000 yards three times (on pace for his fourth this year) and scored 50 career touchdowns. He’s an excellent receiving running back and has been one of the top backs in the NFL in recent years. He needs to perform like he did in 2013 for the next half decade to be considered for Canton, but he at least has a chance.

17. Lavonte David, LB – Tampa Bay:

The Buccaneers outside linebacker is only 24 years old, but has already become a phenomenal player. He’s one of the best playmaking linebackers in the league. In two and a half seasons he’s intercepted six passes, defended 17 passes, recorded nine sacks, forced four fumbles, and is a tackling machine. He’s an absolute beast and if he continues to play this well into his thirties he’ll be up for Hall consideration.

16. Richard Sherman, CB – Seattle:

Perhaps the most infamous defensive back in the NFL is also one of the best. In his first three seasons he intercepted a whopping 20 passes. In his fourth season he hasn’t intercepted a pass yet, but that’s because many teams aren’t challenging him. He’s scored two touchdowns and defended 59 passes and he’s only 26. If Sherman plays like this into his early-thirties he’ll be close to carving his route to Canton.
