1986 Hall of Fame Inductees

The votes have been counted and this year we will be inducting five players into the USFL/WFL Hall of Fame. Commissioner raidergreg69 declared the threshold for enshrinement be lowered this year, because there seems to be a flaw in the voting procedure. Any vote that doesn't include our league's top 2 TD scorers ever is broken. Let's meet this year's inductees.
