there are 5 modern WRs that went 1st ballot to the hall

Raymond Berry - YT
Lance Alworth - YT
Paul Warfield - black
Steve Largent - YT
Jerry Rice - black

For a position that is dominated by black athletes...there appears to be a disparity in 1st ballot hall entries

Jerry is obviously the bar...but are Moss and T.O. really that far away from errybody that they have to wait

Art Monk

hell, even Michael Irvin had to wait

I mean, looking at that list, race looks like a factor to me

...and as somebody pointed out in this thread...where are the first ballot CBs...?

That is, as the league has transitioned to a forward pass league...to a pass first league...you would think there would be more acknowledgements for said transitions at primary positions on both sides of the ball
