Lastly there are more offensive linemen on the field at any given time than any other position. For none of them to make it is a total travesty and not a great outlook for the future of those positions to get in
I agree The HoF by representation needs more LBers, TEs, and OL...but the limited number of selections allowed always precludes positional representation in any given class.
Perhaps the most surprising thing for me is that Art Powell and Buddy Parker did not make it.. Those 2 were not eating up any slots by adding them. Buddy Parker should have been a slam dunk.
Art Powell has as many TDs as Steve Smith and only 2 less than Megatron in an era where it was much harder to catch passes. I guess he just doesnt have the all around stats are longevity with any one team.
Buddy Parker has a better win % than Chuck Noll, Bill Parcells, Marv Levy, and Jimmy Johnson plus he has two NFL Championship Titles.
