Will Patrick Peterson be a HOFer?

100% Yes 1st ballot

Has a HOF career outside of the PED suspension.

Absolutely

Undoubtedly yes

He and Mathieu both, yes.

When a pure freak of an athlete that’s also a first ballot Hall of famer in Calvin Johnson says you’re the best corner they’ve ever lined up against I’m pretty sure he’ll get in on his first try. Only thing missing from Pat’s resume is a Super Bowl.

Pro Football Reference has a stat that attempts to capture things HOF voters typically care about and combine it into a catch-all number

Peterson has the highest number of anyone not currently in the Hall. It's a strong case.

One of his all-pros is as a returner, but this HOF monitor also doesn't consider the all-decade team nod, which carries a lot of weight at positions where counting stats are a little less important.

There's a bit of a backlog so he probably won't be first ballot...but I think he'll very likely get in.

Other accolades not mentioned are 4 time All Conference and All Rookie team by PFWA.
I think he eventually makes it in, but not at first.

Yes! First ballot. Doubtful

He's in elite company.

Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson was named to his eighth Pro Bowl on Tuesday, putting him in some very elite company.

Peterson is 28 years, 5 months old, the same age Barry Sanders was when he was named to his eighth Pro Bowl. The two of them are the two youngest players ever to be named to eight Pro Bowls.

Jim Brown, who was 28 years, 10 months old when named to his eighth Pro Bowl, is the only other player to be named to eight Pro Bowl teams before turning 29. Peterson, Sanders and Brown were already the only players to get to seven Pro Bowls before turning 28, and the three of them plus Emmitt Smith were the only players to get to six Pro Bowls before turning 27.
