Art Monk at one point was the all-time leader in receptions.

Joe Gibbs play calling was run run run run run run, pass on 3rd and long. If you watch football, you'll notice that makes it hard to get receptions. Monk was a freak at getting open and making tough catches in traffic. I have no idea why Monk is not in the hall of fame. If Irvin is in, the Monk should be.

Art Monk's career was bolstered by Joe Gibbs offense. Although I believe he would've had a decent career outside of Washington, he wasn't a "special" player. Although one could make a similar argument in saying that Irvin had at least two future hall of famers in Aikman and Smith to compliment him.

Irvin's overall #'s were better, and of course the rings. Was the key part of the Cowgirls triplets. Monk will get in though eventually.

Probably most of them are Cowboys fans and therefore Redskins haters. It's the only reason I find.
In a wideout you can not ask for more than speed, hands, size, blocking like a tight end, route running abbility, a great locker room influence and being one of the toughest competitors. Monk had it all with a clean image.
I won't surprise me if Randy Moss makes it before Monk.

Irvin won 3 Super Bowls.
Irwin was on a team with a HOF QB and future HOF RB.

probably because irvin is on espn, I bet if you watch every big catch irvin ever made you cant find one where he didn't push off, I don't know why they let him get away with cheating so much.

because Art Monk was not in any scandals with cocaine and god knows what other bullshit, hes very over rated, he was just in the right place at the right time...under any other team he would have been a average receiver, if that........GO DODGERS
