  "account": "NFL legend LeSean McCoy has declared that former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger should never be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame due to a lack of All-Pro selections. In a recent fiery rant, McCoy criticized Roethlisberger for not having any All-Pro nods, arguing that the Hall of Fame should only consist of players who have been recognized as the best in the league. McCoy stated, \"You should never be in the Hall of Fame if you never had no All-Pros,\" emphasizing the importance of All-Pro selections in determining Hall of Fame eligibility. Despite Roethlisberger's numerous accomplishments, including being a two-time Super Bowl champion, a six-time Pro Bowler, and a two-time passing yards leader, McCoy stands by his stance, claiming that Roethlisberger does not meet the criteria to be inducted alongside the greatest players of all time.",
