There is no official criteria when determining who is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That being said, based on who has and who hasn't been enshrined over the past 50 years, it's safe to say that there are certain things the voters look at when determining who should get a bronze bust and a gold jacket.Using my interpretation of some of the unspoken criteria used when determining who gets into the Hall of Fame, I came up with a list of each 's current player who has the best shot at being enshrined in Canton once their career is over. Here is the criteria I used when selecting the most likely players on each NFL team that could be considered a "lock" if their careers ended today.Years playedCareer statisticsCareer accoladesIndividual postseason succe sTeam succe sUsing that criteria, I determined that 12 teams currently have a player on their roster whose career is already good enough for enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, and one team actually has two players, making 13 'locks.'Did your team's best player make the cut? Let's find out. : , WRCurrent Hall of Fame "lock": YesFitzgerald was recently included in the 's 100th All-Anniversary TeamFitzgerald, who is second all-time in career receptions (1,378) and Zach Collins Jersey receiving yards (17,083) and sixth in touchdown receptions (120), will be fitted for his gold jacket six years after he decides to hang up his cleats for good. An 11-time Pro Bowler, Fitzgerald has led the NFL in receptions and Damian Lillard Jersey touchdown receptions on two separate occasions. He put on a show in the 2008 playoffs, catching 30 pa ses for 546 yards and seven touchdowns while helping Arizona make its first appearance. : , WRCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?No, but closeA few more big seasons should make Jones a "lock"The Falcons actually have two players who are on the Hall of Fame "bubble." While Jones is closing in on a Hall of Fame career, the same can be said of quarterback , a former league MVP who is 10th all-time in career pa sing yards. But the nod here went to Jones, a seven-time Pro Bowler who has led the league in receiving on two separate occasions. But as good as Jones as been, he will likely need a few more prolific seasons to be considered a Hall of Fame "lock," as he is currently 25th in career receiving yards. : , FSCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?No, but closeAnother Pro Bowl season may be all Thomas needs to lock up his spot in CantonEarl Thomas, who enjoyed a Pro Bowl season during his first year with the Ravens, is closing in on a Hall of Fame career. His succe s last season, following a major lower body injury that prematurely ended his 2018 season (his last with the ), is a very positive sign that Thomas will be able to continue to play at an elite level Jaylen Hoard Jersey into his 30s. Another Ravens player to keep an eye on is running back . While it is getting increasingly harder to earn induction at his position, Ingram's succe s during his first year as a Raven could lead to more good things for the three-time Pro Bowler moving forward. Ingram, based on how little he has been used in comparison to other veteran running backs, could follow John Riggins' path as a elite running back who had more succe s in his 30s than in his 20s. : , CBCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?NoWhite is still in the very early stages of his careerFollowing retirement and move to the , the Bills do not currently have anyone relatively close to punching their Hall of Fame ticket. Buffalo fans should be keeping an eye on the continue development of White, who earned All-Pro status last season (his third NFL season) after recording a league-high six interceptions. : , RBCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?No, but appears to be on his wayIf he can stay healthy, McCaffrey should be destined for Canton retirement and release have left a significant void as far as po sible Panthers Hall of Fame "locks" are concerned. That being said, Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is definitely on pace to have a career worthy of Canton. An All-Pro for the first time last season, McCaffrey joined Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk as the only players in NFL history to ama s 1,000 rushing and receiving yards in the same season. : , DTCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?: No, but closeCould definitely use more team succe s to help his causeDespite their lack of recent team succe s, the Bengals do have a pair of players who have convincing Hall of Fame arguments in receiver A.J. Green and defensive tackle Geno Atkins. A Pro Bowler in each of his first seven seasons, Green is looking to rebound this season after injuries forced him to mi s 23 games over the past two seasons. Atkins, an eight-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, is a few more Pro Bowl seasons away from solidifying his case as a Hall of Fame player. Atkins' durability and All-Pro recognition gives him the current edge over Green. : , OLBCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?NoMack needs to continue his current run of succe s well into the 2020s Caleb Swanigan Jersey After three Pro Bowls (and two All-Pro) seasons with the , Mack has continued to enjoy succe s after being traded to the Bears in 2018. During his first 30 games with Chicago, Mack recorded 21 sacks and 11 forced fumbles. In the proce s, he picked up two more Pro Bowl selections, a third career All-Pro nod as well as winning the 2018 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award. Another Bear to keep an eye on is safety , who is coming off his first All-Pro season and second consecutive Pro Bowl campaign. Both players, however, are serval years away from being considered a future Hall of Fame "lock." : Odell Beckham Jr., WRCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"?NoBeckham needs to find his groove with While has two more Pro Bowl selections, Beckham has more career receiving yards and touchdowns than his teammate. That being said, the two receivers should be considered near equals as far as their future Hall of Fame prospects are concerned. Beckham's upside, along with his name recognition, gave him a razor thin edge when making the pick between the two. What they do in 2020 will play a role in which player is at the top of this list when the '21 season rolls around.Another Cleveland player to keep an eye on is , who collected a whopping 30.5 sacks during his first three seasons. If he has another strong season in 2020, Garrett will likely vault over Beckham as the Browns' player with the best shot at Canton. : , RGCurrent Hall of Fame "lock"? No, but he appears to be on Portland Trail Blazers Hats his wayMartin is a few more Pro Bowl away from solidifying his place in CantonThe 16th overall pick in the 2014 draft, Martin has been a Pro Bowler in each of his first six NFL seasons. He has also earned four All-Pro nods while helping opening up holes for . His blocking also helped throw for nearly 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns
