Obviously oversimplifying the position, but it’s really one of the more controlled position in sports. There’s not a lot of overthinking out there. Weather is different. Turfs are different. But there are only so many curveballs the other team will throw at the kicker. It’s being very consistent with mechanics and having balls of steel. Hard to place them on the same standard as skill positions that need lots of strategy. Also, a big part of the HOF is durability and I’d assume players who put their body through a decade+ of constant abuse would resent having their spot taken away from a kicker who keeps their jersey clean 9 times out of 10.
