It took nearly half a century, but former Idaho football player Jerry Kramer was finally inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and enjoyed the aftermath of the selection with his hometown fans during the Inland Empire Vandal Celebration Aug. 23.
“It still feels a little bit surreal,” Kramer said in an interview with The Argonaut. “So many aspects of the Hall and functions and wonderful dinners like this. Old friends, family, good friends, best friends. It’s wonderful to be here and wonderful to be a part of it.”
Kramer became eligible for the Hall of Fame five years after he retired after the 1968 season.
