Making the Hall of Fame call on 12 current players, including Matthew Stafford and Tyreek Hill

Our NFL writers decided who is and who isn't a future Hall of Famer

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the two main pillars of the Kansas City Chiefs' current dynasty, will undoubtedly be immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when their careers are over. Several other current NFL players are shoo-ins, too, but what about the dozen or so current players whose future Hall of Fame candidacy isn't as certain? 

To find that answer, my CBS Sports NFL colleagues Tyler Sullivan, Jared Dubin, Garrett Podell, Jeff Kerr, Cody Benjamin, Jordan Dajani, Shanna McCarriston, and Kyle Stackpole helped me make the call on 12 current players who have compelling cases but aren't currently considered Hall of Fame locks. In order to be considered, a player has to currently be on a roster and have played at least eight seasons.

With all of the votes tallied, here's a look at each player and whether or not we feel their career is currently good enough for induction in Canton, Ohio. I've included how many votes each player received, out of a possible nine. A player needed to get a majority of the votes (five being the minimum) in order to get the nod as a future Hall of Famer.
