With the anticipation of Super Bowl XLIX growing by the minute, many are also on the edge of their seats to see who will make up the latest class to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The announcement will be made the night before Super Bowl Sunday, but I already have cast my unofficial ballot. Here’s my prediction for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

Hands down one of the best middle linebackers in NFL history, Junior Seau has left an identifiable footprint on this game. His accolades speak for themselves. Seau was Defensive Player of the Year in 1992, named to the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade Team, was an eight-time first-team All-Pro, a 12-time Pro Bowler and helped lead the San Diego Chargers and the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl.

Many never thought that a second-string quarterback would go so far, but Kurt Warner proved everyone wrong. Warner not only helped revitalize the St. Louis Rams, but he also led them to two Super Bowls (winning one) and was MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV. The two-time league MVP also was named to four Pro Bowls, took the Arizona Cardinals to their only Super Bowl in franchise history and finished his career with a 93.7 career QB rating.

Tim Brown’s wait for the HOF should come to a merciful end. After retiring in 2004, most of Brown’s statistics are still ranked in the top 10 of NFL history. The nine-time Pro Bowler’s 1,094 receptions and 19,679 all-purpose yards are currently fifth. His 14,934 receiving yards and 3,320 punt return yards are sixth. Brown’s 100 receiving touchdowns are tied for seventh, and his 105 total touchdowns are 17th all-time.

Before the West Coast Offense and the “Greatest Show on Turf,” there was Don Coryell and his “Air Coryell” offense. Coryell was an NFL coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, but he was more known for taking the San Diego Chargers to new heights. Coryell’s offense helped produce the HOF careers of Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow and Charlie Joiner. His offense was also the blueprint of the offenses that are seen in the NFL today.

Throughout his 14-year career, Charles Haley was a great defensive player who was constantly lost in the shadows of numerous superstars. What can’t be overlooked are Haley’s five Pro Bowl appearances, his being named to two All-Pro teams and his 100.5 career sacks. But most of all, no one can turn a blind eye to Haley’s five Super Bowl rings (the most by any player in NFL history).

As a contributor, Bill Polian has done much for every franchise he’s been affiliated with. Polian is most known for the work he did with the Buffalo Bills from 1984-92 as pro personnel director and general manager, guiding the Bills to four AFC championships. As general manager and president for Indianapolis Colts, Polian did the same by leading them to two Super Bowl appearances (winning one in 2006).
