He had come off a promising spring where he made a number of head-turning plays in the Bills passing game during OTAs and minicamp. But a knee injury the first week of training camp ended his rookie year before it started. Now with the 2011 season fast approaching, the expectations for Easley are still there despite not even playing in an NFL preseason game in 2010."

T.O. should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but ... | ProFootballTalk
"Limiting their chances could be the fact that they may not have a strong voice in the room on that Saturday before the Super Bowl, given that they played for so many teams — and burned so many bridges in the cities where they played. Without a zealous and motivated presenter from the ranks of the media, both guys may have to wait a year, or two, before conjuring enough votes."
