Selection Process and Timeline

The selection criteria for the NFL All-Time Team followed the by-laws outlined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection process:

The only criteria for election of the Hall of Fame are a nominee's achievements and contributions as a player, coach, or a contributor in professional football in the United States of America.

Additionally, a player must have participated in at least five seasons in the NFL, AFL (American Football League), the AAFC (All-American Football Conference), or some combination thereof.

Barry Sanders Riding Lion Bobblehead.

As someone who previously purchased a Detroit bobblehead from us, we wanted to let you know about the brand new Barry Sanders Riding Lion Bobblehead, which is scheduled to arrive around the end of this month.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,020 but only 144 bobbleheads were produced in the first batch so pre-order yours today if you want to add this awesome bobblehead to your collection.

I played against Drew Henson in HS. Best punter I ever seen. Catching his punts were ridiculously hard....spin, height, movement. Was crazy...
