This isn’t Dick Stanfel’s first time as a seniors committee candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The five-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection, according to Pro Football Reference, will be a seniors candidate for the third time when the Hall of Fame committee makes its annual selections this weekend. Stanfel and quarterback Ken Stabler will be considered to be part of the 2016 class in Canton, Ohio.
Stanfel’s candidacy is tougher to quantify than most others because of his position – he was a right guard for Detroit and Washington – and because of when he played.
