Martin and Smith seem like locks, basically

Cooper might make a case when it’s all said and done.

Lamb’s career is still early, but I get the feeling he will be a special talent.

Elliott… depends how long he plays. He already has 6,300+ rushing yards and 46 TDs. I don’t see why he won’t finish with at least 12,000 yards and 100 TDs, if not more. Elliott is a tough guy and might be able to play forever like Frank Gore.

Prescott would need a ring or two plus a couple 4,000 yard seasons. I think he’s capable of racking up the statistics, but to win a Super Bowl is going to take more from him and this team overall.

Seeing Edgerrin James make it, makes me feel like Zeke should get in with a few more 1k-yard seasons.

Elliott is going have to have 6 more 1k seasons to overtake James (12,246 to 6,384), just about double his rush TD total (80 to 45), receptions (433 to 241), receiving yds 3,364 to 1,957) Zeke has 10 TD catches to James' 11.

You nailed it with Tyron and Martin.

Zeke could. His early career stats, stack up with all time greats. Making the HoF as an RB is all about longevity. Can he be highly productive for another 3-4 years before wearing down? That’s the biggest question for him.

Which current Cowboys do you think will eventually make it to the Hall?


Tyron Smith & Zack Martin seem like first ballot guys, but who else do you think will make it?

Both are on the bubble. What is great on a Dallas team is not always great in Canton.

Zack Martin and Tyron Smith are the only obvious choices I can think of. The young one that is showing that potential is Lamb. He has a long way to go but he's that special.

4,000 yard seasons are the new 3,000 yard seasons. 4,000 is the norm these days. Dak is in the same spot as Tony Romo until he has playoff success. You have to have all time great stats as as QB to make the HOF without any rings or at the very least a few deep playoff runs, especially in this day and age where QB numbers are inflated.

Cooper is a very long shot at this point in his career. Too many former star receivers from decades past have stats that dwarf Cooper at his current pace.
In addition, 20 active players have more receptions, with the 20th guy - Devontae Adams - has almost 100 more catches than Cooper....546 to 449.
To even mention Prescott as a potential HOF candidate at this time is really unrealistic. Four seasons and a few games. Would say the same for his fellow 2016 draft QB contemporaries Goff and Wentz.

Smith is already a lock
Martin will be in a couple years
Zeke needs 3-4 more big years
Years with 1500 plus rushing yards
Other than those I don’t see anyone

You forgot about Witten.
74 TD catches...only four tight ends have more (Tony Gonzalez 111, Rob Gronkowski 86, Jimmy Graham 82).
13, 046 receiving yds....will be only the 20th player to go over 13,000 yds in a career. (Witten is currently the 19th; however, Julio Jones is only 150 yds behind him.) But that total is 2nd all-time for TEs (Gonzalez 1st with 15,127).
And ----- Jason Witten is second all-time in career receptions by a TE with 1,228 to Gonzalez's 1,325.....but his catch total is 4th in NFL history - only Jerry Rice and Larry Fritzgerald are higher than the two tight ends.

I would tend to agree with you. But right now, Zack Martin, and Tyrone Smith are locks. Zeke still hasn't at this point.
