    Bob Cameron (played 1977-2002) was inducted in 2010.

    I can see Cameron going in first, but eight years earlier than Ilesic is ridiculous IMO. Ilesic was definitely at Cameron's level as a punter, plus he won six Grey Cups in a row, and seven in total, plus he was booming the crap out of the football when he was still in high school and riding his bike to Esks practice after school.
    Cameron going first may be because he also had a great university career as a QB. If it was strictly as a CFL punter, no way Ilessic should have have a 13 year wait from his final game and Cameron only 8. Ilesic was a better punter, plus a big kickoff guy.

    There has always been speculation about that but who knows? It took ridiculously long for Ilesic to get in though.
    Kevin Glenn had a long distinguished career of mediocrity.

    I don't think Kevin Glenn is nearly as bad as many people think he is. He did lead 2 teams to Grey Cup appearances as a starter, in the '07 Bombers and the '12 Stamps, and may have had a victory if he didn't get hurt in the '07 Eastern final. That's one more Appearance as a starter than Trevor Harris has led his teams to over the years, but he seems to be a golden child to a lot of CFL fans.

    Glenn was OK, but he's no Hall of Famer in my eyes. With the way OK guys like Dressler are getting in these days, though, he'll probably get in eventually.

    That's my feeling about Glenn also; he was a decent QB but not a Hall of Famer.

    I'm not as hard on Gleen as some people here. After all, there is a reason he lasted 18 years in the CFL, but he is not close to HOF calibre.

    Great to see so many players with Argo connections make the HOF, especially Chad and Green.

    He had a longer career than both, but I kind of put him in the Tom Burgess/Danny Barrett category. He had some very decent seasons in the league, but I wouldn't put him on the pantheon.

    With everything going on these days, anyone feel odd with Chad Owen's going into the HOF?
    I know it was after his career was done, in 2019 he was charged with assault of his partner\wife. I don't remember maybe the charges were eventually dropped.
    I get the HOF is based on his achievements on the field.

    I think they were dropped at some point.

    I'm not even sure it was confirmed to be his wife.
