Justin Jefferson’s jersey made the Hall of Fame before Torry Holt

Jefferson surpassed Holt for an NFL record and now even his jersey is in the Hall of Fame first

Adding insult to injustice, the Pro Football Hall of Fame honored Justin Jefferson and put his jersey in the Hall of Fame before they’ve inducted Torry Holt and they did so because Jefferson passed Holt for an NFL record: Most receiving yards by a player in his first five seasons.

Just to be clear, Jefferson isn’t in the Hall of Fame obviously because he’s still playing in the NFL, but to see Holt’s name come up as the reason that somebody else was honored is just another reminder that Holt is the most egregious name left out of Canton.

Jefferson also surpassed Randy Moss and Jerry Rice for the record, two players who obviously had no problems getting inducted on their first try.

Holt’s strange exclusion from Canton is once again up for debate as he was named a semifinalist this week. He led the NFL in receiving yards in 2000 and 2003, as well as posting at least 1,100 yards in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. He’s a Super Bowl winner, a first team All-Pro, and a seven-time Pro Bowler.

We know that Jefferson’s jersey is in Canton for doing something that nobody else has ever done except for Holt.

Will Holt’s bust follow him?

Or does the Hall of Fame once again prove that it is busted?
