Owens is a no-brainer as a hall of famer based on numbers alone. Owens ranks second in receiving yards (15,934), third in receiving touchdowns (153), while being sixth in receptions all-time.
Of course the reason Owens was left out because people didn’t like his attitude and considered him a distraction off the field. But seriously, being inducted into the hall of fame should be about the numbers and not the about feelings of the writers who vote for this stuff.
