Took over 43 minutes of debating for the voters to decide against Terrell Owens for this year's class. His bad behavior reputation played a big role in not getting picked for the final ballot.

Also confirms the unwritten rule of no more than 1 guy per position per class.

Nice read. I'm not surprised to hear that they group the modern era guys by position. By comparing them all side by side it's easier to whittle down the field.

There really isn't a statistical measure out there that would support Harrison going in over Owens, but Harrison was waiting longer. That's just how it is.
