Given that it's a skill position and thus overrepresented in the HoF, it's pretty telling that we don't have anyone at that position. It's been a weakness for the entire history of the franchise.

As much as I love Otis, and he was my favorite player as a child, I think the odds of him getting in are almost nil. With the inflation of receiving stats over the past 20 years, I think future voters will underestimate his contributions.
