4 Canes will have gone into the NFL HOF in the past 11 years - Michael Irvin, Cortez Kennedy, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis.
Ed Reed will follow shortly, as soon as he is eligible. Another legitimate Cane possibility already eligible and waiting in the wings is Edgerrin James (here's hoping!). Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Big Vince and Devin Hester will join that list of eligible candidates shortly.
Still playing, Frank Gore is a shoo-in some day. IMO Greg Olsen ( if he lasts 4 more really good years - we've seen TEs play 15 years) and Jimmy Graham (with Aaron Rodgers throwing to him for a few years) are possibilities, as is Calais Campbell (NFL DPOY last year) if he strings together a couple of more All-Pro years on the Jaguars where he dominates like he did last year.
Altogether a remarkable record of NFL stardom for 1 school since 2000. I doubt any other school can match it.
