Since then, six other Heisman winners have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame ... Paul Hornung, Doak Walker, Earl Campbell, Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen, and Barry Sanders.

Herschel Walker is not in the Hall of Fame because his most productive years were in the USFL, not in the NFL. While he played only 3 seasons in the USFL for the New Jersey Generals, he was able to match that productivity only once in his NFL career. His play ing the NFL was good, but not great. Based on his lack of productivity in the NFL, the HOF selection committee never voted to enshrine him into the HOF.
