Since their careers were so similar? I think all of those guys you mentioned are very different style of players than Dawkins. They were all the older style cover safeties who largely got more interceptions because of the more lax rules than today's DB's had to deal with.

players like Dawkins, Polamalu etc are all over the field nowadays and are only FS/SS in name only.....

but look at Johnny Robinson......7 time All-Pro and 6 Time 1st Team All-Pro and is not in the HOF....if he can't make it, neither can Dawkins.

he's from yesteryear but.....

this is nothing against Dawkins......I could see him being inducted but if it was up to me......he wouldn't be going in as a 1st ballot guy for sure.

again JMO.
