Las Vegas Raiders Pro Football Hall of Fame watch

The Pro Football Hall of Fame will induct the class of 2023 on Aug. 5. Here are players from the 2023 Raiders who could join the immortals in Canton someday. 

Guaranteed Hall of Famers 

Davante Adams, wide receiver: Through his first nine seasons, Adams amassed the fifth-most receiving TDs (87). Only HOF WRs Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens had more.

Adams has also proven he can adapt to a new system quickly. After eight seasons with the Packers, he flourished in 2022 with Las Vegas, leading the NFL in receiving TDs (14) and setting a Raiders record for receiving yards with 1,516 in 17 games. The record was previously held by HOFer Tim Brown (1,408 yards in 16 games).

Adams also made first-team All-Pro for a third consecutive year. He told The Ringer's Mirin Fader the All-Pro nod was more meaningful last season because he proved "he didn't need Aaron Rodgers" to succeed. 

The 30-year-old is a transcendent playmaker who should remain one of the most productive wideouts in the league for several years.

Fringe Hall of Famer

Chandler Jones, defensive end: Jones is a borderline HOF candidate. Per Pro Football Reference's HOF monitor, his score is 68.90, below average for a DE but above HOFers and Super Bowl champions Charles Hayley and Richard Dent.

Jones has a solid resume. In 13 seasons with the Patriots, Cardinals and Raiders, he has made four Pro Bowls, earned two first-team All-Pro nods, won a Super Bowl and is a member of the HOF's All-2010s team.  

But elite pass-rushers Von Miller and J.J. Watt have overshadowed Jones throughout his career. Watt won Defensive Player of the Year three times and Miller earned Super Bowl 50 MVP. Jones has no DPOYs and lacks a signature championship moment, hurting his case.

Also, he struggled during his first season in Las Vegas, recording 4.5 sacks in 15 games, the second-lowest total in his career. The HOF values consistency and longevity. He must bounce back this season to put his candidacy back on track.

A young player who could develop into a Hall of Famer 

Maxx Crosby, defensive end: The 25-year-old had a career year last season, making his second Pro Bowl. He tied for eighth in sacks in the NFL with 12.5 in 17 games and had the most tackles for loss (22). Both marks were career bests. 

Crosby is already starting to climb up the Raiders all-time defensive leaderboard. In four seasons, he has recorded the franchise's second-most tackles for loss (65), behind only former Raiders LB Khalil Mack (68). He could easily eclipse that mark this season. 

The main concern with Crosby could be durability. Per Pro Football Focus, he was the only D-lineman who played 1,000 snaps last season. If the Raiders continue to use him like this, he could become susceptible to injury. Nonetheless, PFF graded him as its fourth-best edge rusher last season, behind Nick Bosa, Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons.

If Crosby continues to cement himself as a top-five pass-rusher, he'll start earning first-team All-Pro nods and generate HOF buzz.
