Even though he was a whiner, Lott was a f*ckin destroyer. And if he is there, Tatum should be there as well. People do not realize that Tatum changed the defensive game. Sadly, it was because he paralyzed someone, but Bomber is right; if you have an effect on the rules, you are great enough to be in the Hall. But, sadly I think because of that incident Tatum is not there and he never will be.
