I believe that Jan Stenerud is the only place kicker in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Why are there not more kickers in the Hall? I know th?

I thought you were wrong until I looked for myself. I just knew Pat Summerall was in the NFL Hall of Fame just for the teams and time period he played. There are several old time players that played several positions, including place kicker.

Paul Horning, who was the first bad boy of the NFL, did a lot of place kicking. Lou Groza was an offensive Tackle and Place kicker. And there is also George Blanda who had 5 winning field goals in a row for the Oakland Raiders in 1970 although he is listed in the Hall of Fame as a quarterback.

I think the only way it can be justified is that there is such a backlog of quality players that the kickers and punters have to wait their turn. Especially when the modern superstars get their chance to be chosen as soon as possible. It seems that they have to pick a current good talent as soon as they can.

And let’s face it; kicking is just not always hip. It should be, but it isn’t. I can think of several place kickers including Pat Summerall that deserve to be included, but I think that the punter Ray Guy will have to be ahead of them.

George Blanda did not want to be just a kicker.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
