Not in Hall of Fame

It is nice to hear about someone getting IN TO the Hall of Fame for a change.

According to Raj Mathai, multiple sources have confirmed that former San Francisco 49ers running back Roger Craig will be chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.   

Craig played eleven seasons in the NFL (1983-90 with SF, 1991 with the Raiders, and 1992-93 with Minnesota), and rushed for 8,189 Yards and accumulated 4,991 Receiving Yards with 66 Touchdowns.  A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Craig played a huge role in three of San Francisco’s Super Bowl wins.  Craig made history in the 1985 season when he became the first player in league history to rush for 1,000 yards and receive another 1,000.   Three years later, Craig led the NFL in Yards from Scrimmage and won the coveted Offensive Player of the Year Award.

Craig had been a Finalist twice before for the PFHOF in 2010 and 2020, and was ranked #15 on our list of those to consider for the Hall.  In March, we will remove Craig and the others chosen from the Notinhalloffame Football List and begin revising it.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate Roger Craig for this incredible honor.
