Kuechly will get in, but... I have Ted Hendricks, Dick Butkus, Jack Ham and maybe Kevin Greene ahead of him. Urlacher up there as well. That's my top 6 or 7 if I add LT.

Chuck Howley and Mike Curtis were pretty good.

Howley the only Super Bowl MVP on the losing team. Dallas lost to the Colts 16-13 in SB 5. He had 2 INT's and a forced fumble.

I always thought Howley was the single biggest Hall of Fame snub. Glad he finally got in.
