'Give this man his flowers'
Even after the Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI, Richard Sherman still believes Matthew Stafford does not deserve a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Julian Edelman doesn’t see it that way.
Edelman, a three-time Super Bowl champion, seems to believe a Lombardi Trophy was the final piece of the puzzle for Stafford, who ranks 12th in NFL history for both passing yards and touchdowns through the air.
“Fifty-thousand pass yards, (Super Bowl) first year with capable team,” Edelman said of Stafford, per Bleacher Report. “Give this man his flowers, he’s a Hall of Famer. Arm talent is some of the best we’ve seen.”
Stafford’s Hall of Fame candidacy ultimately might not be a debate. The veteran signal-caller turned 34 less than a week before the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals, so he might have five-plus years to pad his stats and add another championship ring or two.
