Voted, though I may say that I think it's insane to vote for anyone who doesn't have any All Pro nominations. Maybe that's just me though.

Just to be clear, I only listed the times they were VOTED All-Pro, not the times they were NOMINATED. Referring to my earlier explanation, being voted All-Pro signifies an outstanding season, not an outstanding career. But being voted All-Pro multiple times means you were the very best at your position multiple times.

I'm in the middle of voting now and just wanted to say that I hope the kicker on the ballot gets zero votes. It's not that I'm against a K making it on the ballot, or even making it in the HOF, but if one does, I would expect a FG % >90%, or at least high 80's.

Raidergreg may have a point. As good as Riley was, there are other active kickers whose stats will surpass his. Check out Lester Reed (Oakland Invaders). He is a career 89 percent from beyond 50 yards.

After the first 10 ballots, only three players are at 75 percent or better.

I'll never have a HOF kicker in USFL with my windy stadium, but I've had some in other leagues.

With 17 votes cast, two players are above 75 percent and three are just below it.
