With Jerry Kramer finally being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2018, we now turn our attention to other Packers who have been waiting for the call.
Many will point to Sterling Sharpe as a deserving nominee, and I would agree. The primary argument against Sharpe seems to be that his career was cut short by injuries. But if we’re putting Terrell Davis into the Hall of Fame, whose career was similarly short and influential, then Sharpe needs to be a serious contender.
The Packer from yesteryear with the best argument, however, is LeRoy Butler, who was a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame for the first time this year since his retirement after the 2001 season.
