Your NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2017 is RB LaDainian Tomlinson, RB Terrell Davis, QB Kurt Warner, K Morten Andersen, and EDGE Jason Taylor. WR Terrell Owens is snubbed, as are all of the offensive linemen and New England Patriots CB Ty Law.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Seahawks S Kenny Easley made the Hall of Fame as the contributor and senior selections.
The fact that a kicker made it over Terrell Owens is incredible, and head-shaking.
What are your thoughts on the class?

RB Terrell Davis
Some surprises in new HoF class. A pleasant one for Broncos: Terrell Davis is a Hall of Famer, per source w/knowledge of HoF class. #9sports

RB LaDainian Tomlinson
A very reliable source has told me that LaDainian Tomlinson and Terrell Davis both made it into the Hall of Fame! #SanDiego

OG Alan Faneca, OT Joe Jacoby, C Kevin Mawae
Three offensive linemen (Alan Faneca, Joe Jacoby, Kevin Mawae) were HOF finalists. All three were voted down.

S Brian Dawkins, S John Lynch
Brian Dawkins and John Lynch were voted down by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Still a logjam at the safety position.
