Matty:

Defensive players usually wait longer to get into the HoF than do offensive players. I'm not sure Sapp was so dominant in his career than he can overcome that and make it in his first year of eligibility. Remember, Favre will be eligible that year too; so that takes up one "slot" for that particular HoF class...
