Bettis for sure and it is likely Faulk and Dillon will get in.

Faulk and Bettis are 1st ballot inductees easily.
George and Dillon will probably not make it.
Davis on the other hand is the dark horse, people say that he did not play long enough in his career, he did have 4 great seasons, and 3 so-so because of injury. When you say he did not play long enough you just have to look at Gayle Sayers he had 5 great years and 2 injury plagued seasons and he is in the hall of fame on less than 5000 yards rushing and 63 career touchdowns and no Super Bowl wins. Davis was the reason the Denver Bronco's won their two Super Bowls and has over 7600 yards rushing and 65 touchdowns scored in the regular season, and 19 touchdowns in the postseason in 8 games, including a Super Bowl record 3 in one game. These numbers alone should propel Davis into the Hall of Fame

Faulk...He was a double threat as a runner and a receiver and put up some really awesome numbers with that St. Louis offense, so he stands a good chance.
Bettis...One of the most dominant third down backs in the game. But that's just it...he was a third down back. I lean towards no.
George...After he was rookie of the year, he had a few more good seasons then dropped off. No...although I liked him and have his OSU jersey.
Davis...Didn't play long enough because of injury. No.
Dillon...Broke the single game rushing record while in Cincinnati. Just being able to do so well while on such a horrible team is pretty impressive. It's possible to see him in the HOF, but we'll have to see how his career ends.
All of these guys were good running backs, but I certainly don't think they would be first-ballot Hall of Famers. It may take them a while.

Marshall Faulk and Jerome Bettis are shoe-ins.
Eddie George-no, stats aren't good enough
Terrell Davis-no, he didn't play long enough
Corey Dillon-maybe. He has the stats and a ring.

George, Bettis, Dillon and Faulk. Owens will make it but it wont be like all of the other players. His will probably be turned into a big scandle like with his agent.

Faulk & Bettis for sure.
Eddie was a warrior, but not quite a hall-of-famer (and no super bowl ring) Corey is a similar case, but has a ring- I suppose he could finish strong, but I don't see it.
Terrell Davis was the most dominant, most awesome of the bunch, but his career was just too short.
