The picks are all deserving of their HOF votes and certainly Brent johnson whose contribution to the BC Lions and the CFL were definitely outstanding. In some ways, it's too bad picks like Tom Hugo aren't closer to their playing times as then it's more special for the family and his friends - however he passed away in 2004.
Tom Hugo was an impressive person in his football career and professional life after including working in the prison system and fighting against mandatory prison sentences. It's a great story here - daughter says the 5 kids were raised like a team.
