The latest news out of Canton, Ohio, is not good news for one of the Dolphins franchise's most favorite protectors, Richmond Webb.
I'm Kyle Krats from A to Z Sports, and Richmond Webb has become the next fan favorite to be tabbed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame amongst the Dolphins fan base after seeing Zach Thomas go in not all that long ago.
Webb was a top 10 draft choice by the Dolphins in 1990, played 164 games for the franchise, retired formally in the fall of 2005, and was getting close to being on the doorstep of becoming a senior candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
There's just one problem: the NFL just got rid of the senior category of nominees.
That means if Richmond Webb is to eventually get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a Hall of Fame inductee, he's going to have to do so while rubbing elbows against all of the modern players as they become eligible five years after retirement.
That feels like a long shot, and it makes it bad news for one of the Dolphins Honor Roll members and somebody who admittedly has a very underrated case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame with seven Pro Bowls and four All-Pro selections throughout his career.
