Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, and Dak Prescott make it to the NFL ‘Bag' Hall of Fame
Bill Barnwell, American Sportswriter and Staff Writer for ESPN, mentioned eight NFL players who qualify for the 'Bag' Hall of Fame(BHOF). He clarified that it was not even remotely related to being overpaid or underpaid.
Instead, he wanted to reward players who did the best job on the field and got paid for their ability.
Barnwell vouches that these eight players will definitely get a physical Hall of Fame one day, even though one of them has already received it. The elite list of NFL players includes Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, Dak Prescott, Jalen Ramsey, Darrelle Revis, Deion Sanders, Matthew Stafford, and Laremy Tunsil. For now, let's focus on Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, and Joe Flacco.
