Allen, Ogden, Shields vs. Hall of Fame OL

Two first-year eligible finalists (Larry Allen and Jonathan Ogden) join Will Shields as the offensive linemen hoping to earn election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. All three linemen have 11 or more Pro Bowl selections, a feat matched by only five members of the Hall of Fame. Here is how these offensive lineman contrasts to the 37 modern-era offensive linemen already enshrined in Canton.

    Ogden should go this year arguably the best LT ever. Allen and Shields are top 10 all time guards and should make it in the next 5 years.
