Is Willie Roaf a HOF'r?
All I know he was a big part in Priest's success and LJ's. Made a few pro bowls too I think. But... How come no one mentions him with Orlando Pace, Jonathan Ogden, Walter Jones?

He's one of the more decorated lineman of the past 20 years, I don't see how isn't a HOFer. 11 Pro Bowls and 10 All-Pro Selections (thank you Wiki), I think he gets in.

i think he will make it. He deserves it. What might hurt him is in that era people think that he is the 4th best lineman in his era.

He was just as good if not better then all three Dwight Freeney once said Willie Roaf was the best LT he had ever played.

Without a question he should be in the Hall.

He should be mentioned with those players. I'd say he was the 2nd best LT of his era.

It'd be nice to see more OL get into the HOF.
Because he is an OL it will probably take awhile.

I remember that when he said that. Roaf just absolutely dominated him, as he Shield, Tait, Waters, & Weigmann did. Those were the days.

He should be. At his best, I'm not sure Odgen, Jones, and Pace were always better than him. Not saying he was better, but he was at the very least an equal to them.

Im going to agree he should get in but it could take a few years. The other 3 will get in 1st but he should eventually.

Roaf is going to the Hall and I'm glad he's going as a Saint.

Yes he is one. He was never as awesome as Walter Jones is though, I mean Jones named his kids Waleria and Walterius. ;)

I hope he's a first ballot guy if pace, jones and ogden are, he was better than jones, on par with pace and a smidge less nasty than ogden in my book.

Is this true? Seriously awesome if so.
Willie will easily make it in.
