The selections were almost as I guessed for modern era candidates, but Hester at this time was a surprise.
I was guessing maybe another 5 years of waiting before being selected. I was expecting one of the other receivers be selected besides Andre Johnson. As for names from senior list, I am glad both McMichael and Gradishar being added while both are still living. Art Powell would have been a bonus had he been alive, but I believe he is gone so another year or two won’t make a difference, but Powell should be in too.
o/t.: Steelers front office finally ridding of Trubisky and punter Harvin from the team is a start to improving. Harvin’s punts distances were just barely over 30 yards.
