It is difficult to understand why Roger Craig had to wait for ten years to be nominated for the Football Hall of Fame, given his strong credentials. Craig was an essential player in every offensive play during his prime. Although he began his career as a fullback, it soon became apparent that he was equally skilled at carrying the ball and blocking for others. In 1986, he made history by becoming the first football player to both rush and catch for 1,000 yards each. Opposing defences were intimidated by his high-knee running style and had to keep a close eye on him during every play.

Craig played a significant role in three Super Bowl Championship teams. Despite his innovative style, he is often overlooked due to the fact that he played alongside some of the most high-prolific offensive stars in football. Critics have suggested that he was merely a beneficiary of the great performances of his teammates, such as Montana and Rice. Nevertheless, Roger Craig was a valuable weapon for the 49ers' offence, and although there may be some debate around his place in the Hall of Fame, he undoubtedly deserved more consideration than he received, although the 2020 Blue Ribbon Finalist spot is a promising sign.

Out of all the people on this list we will say up front that there is zero chance that Jim Tyrer will get into the Football Hall of Fame.  Killing your wife and committing suicide there after is sadly what Tyrer is best known for and this has led to him being ostracized by the NFL.

Had Tyrer not broke down in his personal life, his on field accomplishments may have been enough to get him in to Canton.  He was arguably the best Offensive Lineman in the AFL, and was a multiple time AFL All star.  He was voted to the all time AFL team and was a big part of opening holes for Chiefs runners for years.  Tyrer may very well the best lineman that Kansas City ever had.

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s won four Super Bowls and have ten members in the Football Hall of Fame, which would suggest that they are well-represented in Canton. However, many in Western Pennsylvania feel that there is a huge omission left in the black and yellow with L.C. Greenwood.

From the HBCU school of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Greenwood proved to be a steal as the 238^th Pick in 1969.  A Steeler his entire career, Greenwood was a member of the famous Steel Curtain and played a crucial role in the Steelers' success, helping them win four Super Bowls in a five-year period. With six Pro Bowl selections, he was a formidable opponent for quarterbacks and had a significant impact on the game. Although sacks were not yet an official statistic, Greenwood recorded five of them in his four Super Bowl appearances. He was a tall, speedy defender who seemed to be everywhere on the field, and engulfed everything he touched

Despite being a Hall of Fame finalist six times, Greenwood has not yet been inducted. If another player from the 1970s Steelers team is inducted, it has to be L.C. Greenwood.  As for Pittsburgh, they have acknowledged Greenwood in their Hall of Honor and All-Time Team.

Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense is currently a popular football strategy. Despite its name, it was first executed by Ken Anderson in Cincinnati. Anderson spent his entire career with the Bengals, where he set passing records for the franchise. He was known for his incredible accuracy and mastery of the short-yardage pass. Anderson led the league in Quarterback Rating four times and in 1982, he set a season record (which he still holds) with a 70.6% highest completion percentage. Although he made it to the Super Bowl, his team lost, but he still played brilliantly.

Unfortunately, Anderson played during a time when flashy quarterbacks were more highly regarded, and despite his skills, he did not receive the recognition he deserved. He has only been a finalist for the Hall of Fame twice, which further illustrates this point. Considering that Anderson did not have the same calibre of weapons as other quarterbacks of his era, his stats are even more impressive than they might initially seem.
