My guess is that technically yes right? But they must have an unwritten understanding that you have to been Hall of Fame caliber as an NFL player. Because I mean Flutie, no matter how good he was in the CFL, is not getting in before Favre.

Not only would they never let someone into the "pro football" HOF based on numbers in any pro league besides the NFL, the HOF does not even mention that any other pro leagues (USFL, WFL, CFL) even exist or existed. I was shocked when I went a few years ago and saw that omission. The HOF needs to be renames the NFL HOF because it ignores all non-NFL pro football.
