Are there enough Green Bay Packers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

No, there should be more...

Gale Gillingham was drafted from the University of Minnesota to the already loaded Packers team in 1966.  A member of the Super Bowl I winning team, he would play a more significant role in the Super Bowl II winning team as he was now the starting Left Guard.  That would be the end of his championships (though what a way to have your first two years!), but not the end of his memory-making moments in the NFL.  In the next six seasons, Gillingham would be a Pro Bowl Selection in five of those years, with two of them being named a First Team All-Pro.  He would be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1982.

Charley Hennigan went undrafted in both the NFL and AFL, but the Houston Oilers of the latter gave him a chance, and aren't they glad they did!

The Wide Receiver managed 722 Yards as a rookie, and he is credited with scoring the first TD in Oilers history.  He was a big part of Houston reaching the AFL Championship Game and winning it, catching four passes for 71 Yards.  He wasn't going to sneak up anyone in 1961, but it didn't matter, as he was unstoppable, leading the AFL in Receiving Yards and Yards from Scrimmage (1,746), and was so dominant in the month of October that he had 822 Yards, a record that stood for 34 years!  He set (and will forever hold) the single-game receiving yard record with 272 Yards.  The Oilers won their second AFL Title, which never happens without Hennigan.

Hennigan, who was an All-Star and First Team All-Pro in 1961, was an All-Star again perennially until 1965.  He would win his second First Team All-Pro in 1964, a season in which he would once again lead the AFL in Receiving Yards and Yards from Scrimmage.  After a steep decline, he retired after the 1966 season, but his dominance in the first half of the 1960s should never be forgotten.  We know that we won't.

Dick Barwegan was an outstanding Pro Football player, but other than those who decided who should be on the 1950's All-Decade Team; he might be one of the most under the radar players in the history of the game.

It is easy to see why, as he was a late-round pick of the Brooklyn Tigers in 1945, but didn’t play pro ball until 1947, and that was with the New York Yankees of the AAFC.  He played there only one year, then went to the first incarnation of the Baltimore Colts (again in the AAFC) and finally played in the NFL in 1950 with the Chicago Bears, where he played three seasons before finishing with the second incarnation of the Baltimore Colts for two years.

All of these factors led to Barwegan being lost in the annals of history, as he has no deep association with any team.  Thus, we have a four-time First Team All-Pro who does not get his due.

We have to go way back for this one, as Al Nesser played in the NFL from 1920 to 1931, and predated that before the NFL formed, with a decade in the long-defunct Ohio League.  Nesser was one of six brothers who played pro football, and he was the last player in professional football not to wear a helmet.  He was a member of two NFL championship teams: the Akron Pros in 1920 and the New York Giants in 1927.

Frankly, we are just happy we could mention the Akron Pros!
