Not every great former NFL player is in Canton, as this roster illustrates
Not every great player is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Like in every sport, there are more than a few former NFL players who enjoyed distinguished careers that for whatever reason have yet to be immortalized with a bronze bust and a gold jacket.

While they are still waiting on the doors of Canton, Ohio, CBS Sports has decided to honor some of these former players by compiling an all-time roster comprised of some of the NFL's best non-Hall of Fame players. The criteria when making the roster was simple: build a roster that is capable of beating the best teams in today's NFL. Players also had to be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame in order to be considered.
Below is the entire 53-man roster that includes starters, backups and depth players.
