4. Charles Tillman
The man they called “Peanut,” Charles Tillman faces a long road to a possible induction into the Hall of Fame. When considering inductees, voters tend to look at the number of All-Pro nods followed by Pro Bowl. Over his career, Tillman has one first-team All Pro and was voted to two Pro Bowls.
Tillman is most famous for his signature move the “Peanut Punch,” which is a masterclass in how to punch the ball out of a ballcarrier’s hands. You could say it worked well, as Tillman forced 44 fumbles during his career. That’s sixth all-time, which is impressive consider he ranks behind five defensive lineman.
Tillman’s 38 career interceptions are fifth among players whose careers began in 2000 or later, during a time where picks were down. He also has 140 pass breakups, which is tied for 14th all-time.
While Tillman’s odds of making the Hall of Fame aren’t the greatest considering his lone All-Pro nod, his stats could work in his favor.
