Predicting the 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class

The 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2015 have been announced, and with it starts the guessing game of who will be enshrined in Canton in August. This year's class is especially loaded with talent and big names, making the job of the 46-man voting committee even more difficult than usual. Here is my prediction for the 2015 Pro Football Hall of fame class.

Seau’s going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in August, absolutely no doubt about it. The fearsome linebacker played 20 seasons in the NFL, most notably 13 dominant years with the San Diego Chargers. He was a 12-time Pro Bowler and six-time first-team All-Pro. Sadly, Seau committed suicide in 2012.

Pace was a left tackle best known for his dominance as part of the “Greatest Show on Turf” St. Louis Rams. The behemoth of a blocker was as consistent a force on the offensive line as the NFL has ever seen. He’s not as sure of a lock as Junior Seau, but it would a surprise if the three-time first-team All-Pro and Super Bowl XXXIV winner was not a part of the five-man class in 2015.

The tale of Warner’s journey to his illustrious 12-year NFL career is one of the greatest stories in sports history. The two-time MVP went undrafted and was released in training camp by the Green Bay Packers. Warner spent time working the night shift as a stock boy before joining the Arena League, where he excelled and ultimately was signed by the Rams. The rest, as they say, is history, and Warner led St. Louis to a victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Harrison was a finalist in 2014, and it would be a shame if he’s not announced as a member of the 2015 class on Jan. 31. The former Colts wide receiver paired with Peyton Manning to dominate the NFL for years and ranks third all-time in receptions (1,102), seventh in receiving yards (14,580) and ninth in receiving touchdowns (128). Harrison’s off the field connection to gun violence may be the only thing that has kept him out to this point.

The former Colts and Buccaneers coach is currently an NFL analyst on NBC. Dungy is one of the most well-respected and well-liked men in sports history. His personality won’t be the reason for his induction, but his social impact on the sports world will. Dungy won Super Bowl XLI with the Colts and in doing so, became the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl.
