The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, so this results in a long push to revise what we already have; specifically, now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the seventh ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 61 to 70:

61. Rod Smith
62. John Abraham
63. Larry Grantham
64. Mike Kenn
65. Greg Lloyd
66. Marshall Goldberg
67. Gary Clark
68. Rosey Grier
69. Henry Ellard
70. Darren Woodson

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Gary Clark was so good at James Madison that he would later become the first football player to have his number retired.  That being said, Clark did not begin his professional career in the NFL, as it was the Jacksonville Bulls of the USFL, which would become his first landing spot.

Art Monk may have been the lead receiver for the Washington Redskins for a long time, but he was paired with another great Wide Receiver who was somewhat in his shadow.  Of course, at 5’ 9, Gary Clark was in a lot of players’ shadows.

Five times during Gary Clark’s career, he caught for over 1,000 yards.  He was a consistent performer for the Redskins and was a big part of their two Super Bowl runs.  Clark was small, but he was quick, sure-handed, and saved his best performances for the biggest stage.

Clark’s problem on his resume is that, as good as he was, he never led a receiving category and was not the best Wide Receiver on his own team.  This factor makes it hard for him to be considered Hall of Fame-caliber no matter how many passes he caught.
