Jonathan Ogden will be eligible for the HOF next year. Will he get in?

Im almost positive he will make it to the HOF next year. What do you guys think?

Another take: Do you think he would be able to handle another year in the NFL? He is only 37.

First Ballot. No question about it.

(1) LOL ... 1st ballot for sure. If there's any doubt about Jon Ogden, then nobody should get in on the first vote... Bc

(2) He is already on our roster. Only his name is McKinnie now... Bc

Absolutely he makes it in next year.

He might be able to handle another year, but his heart is not into it. Its why he finally hung them up, he was done with the grind.

is JO the first RAVEN to be in the HOF???

No questions asked, and no chance in hell would he come back even for 1 year.

Agreed, and I read (on more than one occasion) that JO was a cheapskate. That's really a good thing if you're a pro athlete because your career is so short. I'm sure JO is financially sound, and I am glad he is... Bc

The first drafted by the Ravens. Woodson and Sharpe are already in.

Didn't the Ravens draft another guy in that same 1st round too? Do you think he will also have a chance at the HOF? If he ever retires :) Bc

Well... duh! But he happens to still be playing, so JO will get there first. :)

It's kind of funny that they were drafted in the same year, same round but Ray Ray might still be playing when JO gets inducted.

I never asked if he would come back to the ravens for 1 year. Im just asking in general if you think he would be able to handle 1 more year of the NFL.

It always depends who else is there but JO should be in next year. Sometimes though they do get backlogged and even obvious hall of fame players have to wait a year or two.

as for question 2, JO made it pretty clear that he had no interest in ever coming back. Maybe he could handle it physically but he couldn't do it mentally.
