Who are the 29 wide receivers that are Pro Football Hall of Famers?

Isaac Bruce and Harold Carmichael will join 27 wide receivers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Harold Carmichael and Isaac Bruce will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August. The former Philadelphia Eagles great and St. Louis Rams star will become the 28th and 29th wide receivers to be honored with a place in Canton, OH. The Hall site draws a distinction, interestingly, between wide receivers and ends. There were seven “ends,” who played prior to 1945, that wound up in Canton.

In 11 pro seasons, Alworth caught 542 passes for 10,266 yards and 85 touchdowns. During his nine seasons with the Chargers, “Bambi” averaged more than 50 catches and 1,000 yards per season. He was named All-AFL from 1963-69 and played in the league’s last seven All-Star games. He caught at least one pass in every AFL game he played, including a then-record 96 straight regular-season games.

NFL Draft: None of the 7 QBs chosen in 2015 are with the team that selected them

With Jameis Winston moving on from Tampa Bay, every QB taken in the 2015 NFL Draft has moved on from the team that chose them.

Jameis Winston won’t be with the Tampa Bay Bucs anymore. The No. 1 overall pick in 2015 has been inconsistent and led to TB signing TB 12 — Tom Brady — in hopes of finding playoff success. How did the quarterbacks drafted in 2015 fare?

What division has the best collective quarterback quartet in the NFL? What has the worst?

There has been movement all over the NFL. Big names making big gains in the contract department. A look at how the eight divisions compare when it comes to their starting quarterbacks.

8. AFC East

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

The AFC East took a huge hit this week when Tom Brady left the Patriots for Tampa Bay. That leaves you with Josh Allen in Buffalo, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami, Sam Darnold in New York and, for the time being, Jarrett Stidham in New England. The Patriots could add a veteran arm rather than go with Stidham. That won’t erase the deficit created by Brady’s exit.

NFL Draft: Grading the 2017 first round as Mitchell Trubisky fades in Chicago

The Bears are ready to move on from Mitchell Trubisky. His grade from the 2017 NFL Draft is poor. How do the other first-rounders fare?

The Chicago Bears have reportedly acquired Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a compensatory fourth-round pick. That feels like a major admission trading up in 2017 to select Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina was a mistake. How has the rest of the first-rounders done from that year?

32. Saints: Ryan Ramczyk

 Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

He’s been solid for the Saints protecting Drew Brees. Ryan Ramczyk has not played in less than 95% of the New Orleans offensive plays in his three seasons. He’s been called for seven holding penalties as a Saint in 47 games. Grade: B

Tom Brady is headed to Tampa Bay.

Could you be seeing your team face him in a Bucs uniform?

The chances are pretty good. Though it’s uncertain how long the 42-year-old Brady will play, the NFL has already designated the Buccaneers’ opponents for the next three seasons. A total of 27 teams are already on the schedule.

Fans of Tampa Bay’s three NFC South rivals can bank on seeing Brady twice a year. Fans of the AFC South must hope Brady will play until he’s 46 because the Texans, Titans, Colts and Jaguars won’t rotate in until 2023.

When and where will the other teams play Brady? Let’s take a look.
