no to Witten as well. Ware is not there yet either.
What!
There are not a lot of tight ends in the HOF, just seven. Which shows how difficult is for TE to make it.

TE is a position that has changed a lot over the years. All it was once was an extra OL. Today its a position where the player can be used in multiple ways.
Of the TE's in todays game Tony Gonzalez is the obvious choice as a future Hall of Famer.
I believe Witten is in with a real chance of making the HOF. Maybe not in his first year of elegibility, but sometime shortly after.
In seven years of playing he has missed just one game. When you consider how he plays the game that is incredible feat. In four of those seven years he has had over 80 receptions and in two he has passed 1,000 yards recieving.
Wittens carre totals for receptions and yards are 523 and 5,965 respectively. In receptions he sits him 2nd behind Gonzalea in active players (TE).
Obviously a lot will depend on how he finishes his career. But I don't see nay reason why he wont make the HOF
