Some backstory for you new owners out there: a couple years ago, I noticed a field in one of the data files you can export -- player_record.csv -- that is labeled 'Hall_Of_Fame_Points'. Curiously, this field is only available in player_record.csv which consists of only active players and not player_information.csv which has both active and retired players. The result is if a player retires, we lose the ability to see how many HOF points he's accrued. So after each bowl but before the season rolls over, I record this data to an Access DB. The idea is to determine how many points a player needs to make the HOF for his position. I've been doing this since the 2043 season.
Here's the updated points:

'n' is the number of points needed to make the HOF for that position. So for QBs, since Mario Kell made it and Donnie Barker did not, I've determined that 5855 < n <= 6045
If you hover your mouse over a player's bar, you can view his awards history and if he's cracked the top 100 in any meaningful career statistic.
Notes:
We've never had a FB, K, or P make the HOF so the result is an upper bound of 99,999 for those positions.
'Team' is the last team the player played for unless he made the HOF in which in case it's the team he was inducted with.
'Show Ineligible' will display retired players who won't make the HOF.
