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: Thurman Thomas
Position: Running back
Career: 1988-99 Buffalo Bills, 2000 Miami Dolphins
Pros: Led NFL in total yards from scrimmage a record four consecutive seasons. Most Valuable Player, 1991. Would have been the MVP of Super Bowl XXV if Scott Norwood had made his last-second field goal.
Cons: Never led the league in rushing. Had some notable mistakes in the Bills' other Super Bowls, from a costly fumble to a lost helmet.
Verdict: Watching Super Bowl XXV again last week on NFL Network, I was blown away by Thomas's speed, agility, and understanding of his role in the Bills' complex offense. This is the easiest pick on the board, and I'm stunned that Thomas didn't get in last year, his first year of eligibility. He gets a vote of YES.
Previous votes:
NO: Richard Dent, Fred Dean, Ray Guy, Michael Irvin, Bob Kuechenberg, Art Monk, Andre Reed, Charlie Sanders
YES: Russ Grimm, Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews, Paul Tagliabue
Note: By rule, the Hall of Fame must induct between three and six new members.
