I don't think Decastro was a consistently dominating player. Simply put no.

That's comparing Decastro to two of the best guards, if not the two best guards during their time in the NFL. If you compare him to say Russ Grimm, Larry Little and Joe DeLamielleure he's in the conversation. I'm not making a case for or against DeCastro or whether or not Grimm, Little and DeLamiellweur belong, I'm just saying that he has comparable accolades to those players who are in the HOF.

The big difference is that those guys were all part of something big. Grimm was one of the Hogs and had 3 SB wins in 4 appearance. Little on the 1972 Dolphins. DeLamielleure blocked for OJ. DeCastro was very good, and the mobility between DeCastro and Pouncey allowed the Steelers to do some unique things, but I just don't see him as a HOF guard. And I know you aren't saying that he is a HOF guy. But I think that's the big difference measuring him against those guys - the lack of a hallmark team accomplishment.
But AF had to wait a pretty long time.
If DD gets in, his wait will be longer. And he's in the same eligibility class as MP (although maybe DD didn't file the papers until the following league year?). MP would get in first (if he gets in after a long wait). So DD would have to wait longer.
