The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their 1st-Year nominees tonight and there are two Redskins offesive linemen on the list. LT Chris Samuels and RT Jon Jansen spent a lot of time on the team together Samuels was drafted #3 overall and has been described as one of the best draft picks from that class. He was selected to the Pro Bowl 6 times, All-Pro 1 time, and is on the prestigious 80 Greatest Redskins list.
Jon Jansen was a 2nd Round pick for the Redskins in 1999. He was never selected to the Pro Bowl in his 11 year career, but he was a 2nd team All-Pro one time. It's unlikely that either of them are enshrined this year, but congratulations to both of them.
The Hogettes recently announced a campaign to get Joe Jacoby enshrined into the Hall of Fame. There are 17 players/coaches with ties to the Redskins out of the 113 nominees for the 2015 Hall of Fame class. Will any Redskins be enshrined this year?
