Still a bit to do…

Eric Berry

For me, this will come down to what happens in the next off season. If Berry signs a new deal with the team that will effectively make him a Chief for life, then he will get in one day. But if he joins another club then I am afraid no induction ceremony for him.

Justin Houston

Since entering the league Houston has recorded 56 sacks in just 70 games. If he continues at the same rate for the rest of his career he will leapfrog Hali into second place of the sack list.  If being the keyword there.  One or two injuries are starting to hinder his career. Since 2013 he has only played 16 games once, and there are doubts he will play at all in 2016.

When he is healthy, more often than not Justin Houston is the best player on the field. For that reason alone he stands a chance at being inducted.

Stand a chance but still have a lot of work to do…

Alex Smith, Travis Kelce, Marcus Peters and Dontari Poe.
