The NFL Hall of Fame released its list of first-year eligible players last week, and two names jump off the page…Rob Gronkowski and Adrian Peterson.
Two legendary players on offense.
Last year, BetOnline.ag set odds for first-year eligible players to make the HOF in their debut appearance.
According to those odds, Larry Fitzgerald had a 95.2% likelihood, Drew Brees was 90% and Jason Witten was 40%. Both Fitzgerald and Brees made it in their first year.
Today, the oddsmakers created odds for seven first-year Hall of Fame eligible players.
