With training camps set to start all over the NFL this month, the 33rdTeam released a list of active players and their Pro Football Hall of Fame chances. On this list, they organized them into three categories; locks, likely, and potentially in that order. The Cleveland Browns had two players on the list both in the lowest category of potentially on edge Myles Garrett and guard Joel Bitonio.
Here is what the 33rd Team had to say about both Garrett and Bitonio and why they are on the right path toward joining Joe Thomas in Canton, Ohio.
Joel Bitonio
“Offensive linemen often need longevity as standouts to get to Canton. Joel Bitonio is approaching that level.”
Myles Garrett
“At times, Myles Garrett is a dominant pass rusher. If only his team could be a consistent contender.”
Summary
The Hall Of Fame is an individual award and holding the Browns’ struggles against Garrett doesn’t make sense. He often was the only thing good the team had on defense which makes his resume all the more impressive not less. I agree with the reasoning for Bitonio and have a strong belief he will keep up this level of play for a few more years.
