I picked Connerly over Anderson because I was trying to stick with older players, otherwise I would agree. There were a lot of choices for linebackers, I picked the one that excelled when it mattered most, Howley.

Kramer gets my vote for overall contributions to football, as well as playing career.

Thanks for reading!

like your list….good stuff

Conerly is worthy, but I’d have to list Ken Anderson over him as far as QB’s deserving entry on my list

same with Howley

Chris Hanburger and Maxie Baughn went to 9 Pro Bowls, and Hanburger changed the way the NFL played WLB forever. I’d put those two in ahead of Howley.

Then there are guys like Robert Brazile, Les Richter, Tommy Nobis, Lee Roy Jordan and a few more guys as worthy.

profiled Johnny & Gino too, it is purely NFL hatred on the AFL those two are not in. I thought the sign on the building in Canton reads Pro Football HOF, not NFL HOF.

which leads me to Kramer, a guy who is worthy

it is just there are a lot of guys I’d put in before him as far as guards go…profiled a few myself

quite a few played in the AFL too

it is a shame only Billy Shaw is in, and they made him wear a jacket with an NFL logo on it too

It’s tougher for Kramer because of the position he played. No guards statistics to compare. But if the Hall is going to put in let’s say, the top 5 players at each position, then he belongs…

Thanks for reading!

Please read the final sentence in the article;

“Check back in a few days for the next overlooked player.”
