It's dangerous to think in terms of statistical plateaus when discussing the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but 150 sacks feels safe, especially since active sure HoFers Von Miller (106.0 sacks) and J.J. The four players besides Peppers with 150-plus sacks-Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Kevin Greene, and Chris Doleman-are all in Canton. Sacks became an official statistic in 1982, and the sack leaderboard only recently matured to the point where the top is not loaded with active and recently retired players. Let's start with a quick tale of the tape to demonstrate just how similar Suggs, Ware, Allen, Freeney and Mathis are, according to the leaderboards and the stars-and-crosses test: Peppers and Other HOF-Candidate Edge Rushers That will make sorting among them difficult, and it is almost certain to cause lots of "snubs" and hard feelings in the years to come. All of them played similar defensive roles during the same era and posted similar statistics. Dwight Freeney becomes eligible on the 2023 ballot, Terrell Suggs in 2024. Robert Mathis and DeMarcus Ware become eligible this year. Jared Allen was a first-time Hall of Fame finalist on the 2021 ballot (last year's ballot, to be clear). Instead, let's discuss the logjam of pass-rushers queuing up behind Peppers. We're not really here to debate about him today. But Peppers won't have to wait long, if at all, after he becomes eligible in 2024. I'll stop short of calling him a "first-ballot Hall of Famer," because folks who understand how Pro Football Hall of Fame balloting works rarely throw that term around. Julius Peppers is a surefire Hall of Famer.
