Cowherd: Be Bothered Jerry Jones Is In Hall of Fame And Robert Kraft Isn't

If you thought the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting committee's decision not to elect Bill Belichick for induction this year was egregious, Colin Cowherd believes you should be just as outraged that Robert Kraft was also snubbed of the honor. 

Cowherd strongly defended Kraft's Hall of Fame credentials on Tuesday's "The Herd" after news broke that the New England Patriots owner won't be inducted as part of the Class of 2026. In fact, he made a bold prediction about the Patriots and took a shot at Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as he explained why Kraft should be a Hall of Famer. 

"If you had to ask me today who the next dynasty in the NFL will be, if I had to put my 401K on it, I would bet Drake Maye, Mike Vrabel, Robert Kraft and Josh McDaniels. This was a terrible organization before Kraft. They were the New Orleans 'Aints — the Saints. They were terrible. They were cheap. Nobody wanted to play for them. Nobody wanted to scout for them. They won 10 games the next year. I don't think that's a coincidence. I don't think that's luck. So, if you want to be outraged that Belichick didn't get in, you might want to be a little bothered that Jerry Jones is in, and Robert Kraft isn't." 

Kraft, who has been eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame for over a decade, was denied the possibility of getting his bust in Canton this summer despite having more Super Bowl wins (six) than any owner in NFL history. The Patriots have also made 11 Super Bowls since Kraft bought the team in 1994, with all those appearances coming after the Cowboys' most recent Super Bowl win in the 1995 season. Even though Jones has half the Super Bowl wins as Kraft, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
