I would put this skill position group up against any ever

QB - Tim Couch and Alex Smith
RB - Warrick Dunn and Toby Gerhart
WR - Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald & Justin Blackmon

Also, for Big Ten fans, Mark Dantonio, Steve Hutchinson, and Paul Posluszny got in

Wow. Toby Gerhart. That’s a name I had forgotten.

I'm very confused as to how the voting works.  How are Warrick Dunn, Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald getting the same year as Gerhart and Justin Blackmon.  All great players, but seems like whatever the waiting period is should allow Moss to have gotten in at least 15 years prior to Justin Blackmon, who finished 15 years after him

Back to Gerhart, 2009 was such a great RB year.  Ingram won it, Gerhart came in 2nd, and everyone slept on Spiller.  I think that was the Suh year too.  That might be the last year it wasn't a QB takeover.

It should be noted that #DannyWoodhead is also going into the College Football Hall of Fame. He played at Chadron State from 2004-2007, followed by a 10 year NFL career.

Pretty cool, 2 Nebraska boys going into the CFB Hall of Fame this year.

Yeah, I’ve never understood the CF HOF voting either.  I really liked that Stanford team. Wasn’t Luck the QB then, too?

I still appreciate a team that lines up with two TE and a FB and says “F*** you, here we come.”

I’ll always have a soft spot on my heart for that kind of football.
