My initial thought is no. His career consisted of 3 incredible seasons. He only played 4 full seasons as a starter, the rest he was either injured for part of the season or was a back-up. However, even with that he does have incredible numbers.
I think a good gauge would be to see if Terell Davis gets in. He's nominated this year. He had a similar short but great career although he did contribute significantly to winning 2 Super Bowls (Holmes did win one with the Ravens but didn't really play a significant role that year). If Davis gets in then Holmes should as well.

Will he go into the Kansas City Chiefs hall of fame? Definately. Will he be taking a trip to Canton, Ohio? That's debateable. While he did have 3 straight seasons of having 2,000+ yards from scrimmage and he did also break the NFL single season touchdown record, the issue might be whether he played long enough or compiled enough stats to get in...We'll know in 5 years.

Nope, he would have had a better chance if he had retired instead of trying to come back though. Five years from now he won't really be remembered and his numbers aren't likely to put him in. He was out what like 2 years before this attempt at a comeback. Had he retired then he would only have 3 more years and may just have had a chance. I really think this attempt to come back is going to hurt him.

He's not going to the Hall of Fame. He was a great player, when he actually played, but he was injury plagued most of his career, it's a shame because he is a magnificent talent.

no. he's one of my favorite players ever, but i don't think he'll get in and here's why: from now on guys are going to have to break 10,000 yards rushing as a minimum to get in. also, his touchdown record has been broken (twice i think) and it didn't hold up for very long. it didn't help that his team couldn't get very far in the playoffs, even the year they were the last team undefeated. still, a heckuva ball player and one of my favorites. too bad injuries got in the way, he was a special player.

you recognize... i quite doubt it. He had some good seasons with the Chiefs... yet thats approximately it. He spent his early years in Baltimore, and did not quite produce till he got here to KC. i might desire to be certain Priest Holmes contained in the corridor of reputation... and that i may well be satisfied if he made it in... yet whilst he does not, i does not be stunned.

No he was a great running back but lacks the numbers to get in. Career was cut to short
