The Pro Football Hall of Fame has yet to find a spot for Art Monk, and the former Washington Redskins All-Pro wide receiver says he’s fine with that.

Monk, who is in Westminster this week holding his annual football camp at McDaniel College, retired in 1995 after 16 NFL seasons with 940 receptions, 12,721 yards and 68 touchdowns.

He ranks sixth all-time on the receptions list and 11th on the receiving yards list, better in either category than current Hall of Famers such as Lance Alworth, Charlie Joiner, Steve Largent, Don Maynard and Michael Irvin, a member of the Class of 2007.

Irvin will officially become the 18th modern-era wide receiver to join the Hall when the induction ceremony takes place Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio.

Monk is still awaiting his call, but the 49-year-old doesn’t seem bothered by his exclusion even though most Redskins fans are adamant about his omission.

“It feels good that people in the community feel that way, but it’s out of my control,” Monk said Wednesday before overseeing a practice session at his camp. “The voters, obviously, haven’t felt that way yet. It really doesn’t matter to me. If it happens, it happens.”

For that reason alone, Art Monk NEEDS to be in the Hall of Fame.
