GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
A regular feature profiling each of the 17 candidates for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Name: Andre Reed
Position: Wide receiver
Career: 1985-1999 Buffalo Bills, 2000 Washington Redskins
Pros: 13,095 career receiving yards, 951 career receptions. Seven Pro Bowls.
Cons: Compiled his numbers while playing in a great offense with a Hall of Fame quarterback passing to him, making it hard to shake the feeling that he's a product of the system.
Verdict: The Bills of the late 80s and early 90s were very good teams, and Reed was an important part of them. But he wasn't as important to the offense as Jim Kelly or Thurman Thomas, and probably not as important as center Kent Hull. And he certainly wasn't as important to those Bills as Bruce Smith, or their coach, Marv Levy. If he's just the sixth-most important member of those Buffalo teams, he falls just short of Hall of Fame material. He gets a vote of NO.
Previous votes:
NO: Richard Dent, Fred Dean, Ray Guy, Michael Irvin, Bob Kuechenberg, Art Monk
YES: Russ Grimm, Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews
Note: By rule, the Hall of Fame must induct between three and six new members.
