Hall of Very Good, Class of 2026

Sobre este episodio

<p>We're firmly in the Remember Some Guys period of the NFL calendar, and what better way to do so than with the Hall of Very Good? You kinda-sorta know a Hall of Very Good player when you see one, but we followed two loose rules when putting this episode together. First, if a player ever advanced to the semifinalist stage in Hall of Fame voting, he was too good to be in the Hall of Very Good. Second, he had to immediately conjure memories of legitimate peaks. Check both those boxes, and you're a Hall of Very Good candidate. So who made the 2026 class? Allow Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman to walk you down memory lane on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><br><p>0:00 Welcome to the show</p><p>6:29 Ryan Kerrigan</p><p>11:39 Tamba Hali</p><p>16:02 Matt Forte</p><p>19:19 Warrick Dunn</p><p>24:43 Thomas Davis</p><p>29:38 Michael Bennett</p><p>35:16 Stephen Davis</p><p>40:28 Mike Iupati</p><p>43:27 Snacks Harrison</p><p>48:03 D'Brickashaw Ferguson</p><p>51:12 Sean Lee</p><p>57:35 Jordy Nelson</p><p>1:03:07 Reggie Nelson</p><p>1:04:49 Rapid fire additions</p><br><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Hosts: Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Senior Producer: Katy Duffy</p><p>Social Producer: Scott Krinch</p><br><p>Follow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Robert on X: @RobertMays</p><p>Follow Dave on X: @DaveHelman_</p><br><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
