Nuk Hopkins to NFL HOF?

With Nuk going the Chiefs, having Mahomes as his QB, and most likely wining Super Bowl(s). Does he eventually become the second Tiger to go into the pro football HOF?

Almost 13K yards and 79 TDs.... honestly, he's probably in already just not first ballot.
Currently, notables over 10K receiving yards not in HOF:
- Andre Johnson
- Torrey Holt
- Larry Fitzgerald
He'd have a better case if he won a Super Bowl and could get closer to 100 TDs.
If we're being honest tho, I don't think moving to the Chiefs is gonna boost his stats dramatically. He'll be solid but this ain't prime Nuk running on the field anymore.

Johnson is in the HOF class for 2024, and Fitzgerald is not yet eligible. Nuke is 32 yrs. old... needs to get close to 1100 receptions and 100 TDs, I would think, w/o a ring. Of course, this trade may have taken care of that issue.

All three of those guys should be in.
Nuk deserves it.

Considering he hasn’t had a good QB most of his career my biased opinion would be he should already be in, but I think he has work to do. A Super Bowl can only help. Getting to 100 TDs would be huge.

I don't know when he will retire, nor do I know if he will be a first ballot HOF inductee, but with where I think his stats will be whenever he does retire, I believe he will eventually get in.

With his career numbers and being a 5x All-Pro, he should be in the hall if he retired today.

Nearly 1000 rec, over 12000yd, 79 td multiple 1500yd seasons, 5-7 seasons over 100 rec. He'd get in if he retired today. Holt, Fitz and Andre Johnson will all get in and all 3 should. A healthy Nuk going to the team with the best passing QB in the game as WR1 right away, his ability to catch everything in his zip code, the best 50/50 ball receiver (IMO) in the league, yeah his numbers are going to pop.
The pressure he takes off Kelce will elevate both.
