This is'nt baseball, it's the pro football HOF there is no "Magic Number" that garuntees a player to be in the HOF. Aswell there is no statistical benchmark that a player must reach to get HOF consideration.

Punters just don't make enough of an impact on the game, to get a lot of HOF consideration.

Love me some Neal. Would love to see him in it somehow.

Lorenzo Neal shouldn't be in either, a blocking FB just doesn't make enough of an impact. Aswell Lorenzo Neal's legacy is very over rated due to the 11 straight 1,000 yard rushers for which he blocked.
But really Eddie George, Corey Dillion, and LT had all established themselves as 1000 + yard rushers/top tier NFL RBs by the time Lorenzo Neal arrived at their teams. Lorenzo Neal was not a big difference maker for all those players to have consecutive 1,000 seasons. He was a good blocking FB that benefited from playing with some excellent RBs including one of the all time greats in his prime(LT).
