In 1941, Clarke Hinkle retired as the NFL’s all time leading rusher, and though that number been surpassed by many, the near 4,000 Yards he ran for was a very astonishing feat for the 1930’s. Hinkle, who would make the Pro Football Hall of Fame and 75th Anniversary Team was also four time First Team All Pro and would lead the NFL in Field Goals made late in his career twice.
Hinkle entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1964, the second year of its exstence, and in 1972, he coincidentally was part of Green Bay's second Hall of Fame Class.
