he had already been selected as a pro bowler 3-4 times before many of the "top LB in the last 10 yrs" were even in the league??

Pro Bowls are not a good indication of HOF status everyone knows it's a popularity contest. All of the names I mentioned are LB's that are better than Briggs. Matthews and Willis haven't played as long but have surpassed him. When you ask someone name me the top LB's of the 00's how many people are gonna have Lance Briggs in their Top 10 barely the Top 20. Derrick Thomas who is one of the best of All-Time took 5 years to get in and Briggs is currently behind A LOT of potential HOF'ers.

So as of now, no I wouldn't put him in, just my two cents
