Below are the names of three-dozen-plus American Football League stars. None of them are in the "pro football" hall of fame. |
Check their statistics and playoff appearances, their leadership qualities, their number of MVP and All-star Game selections, and their star quality when you saw them play. Talk to their contemporaries, the hall of fame players that they competed against. Then compare their qualifications to players from the same era in the same positions who are already in the "pro football" hall of fame. |
They may not all deserve to be in the hall of fame, but certainly many do! There are many players whose fans may believe they belong in the hall, but who are not. They're not limited to AFL players, and different observers may have subjective, conflicting opinions about their worthiness. Many also may question whether certain men should be inducted when others whom they believe deserving have not been. |
The key is this: are (any of) the players listed below as good as or better than others at their positions who are already in the hall of fame? If they are, then they deserve to be inducted, regardless of the league they played in. |
