NAPA, Calif. -- Now that the late Ken Stabler has been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which eligible Oakland Raiders figure should be next?
The Raiders are on a run of Hall of Famers lately, as they have had five inducted in the past four years: Stabler on Saturday, Tim Brown and Ron Wolf in 2015, Ray Guy in 2014 and Warren Sapp in 2013. In total, Oakland recognizes 25 former Raiders in Canton.
But with the way classes are selected, there is a logjam, and often, a long waiting period keeps deserving honorees on the outside looking in until, in Stabler’s case, after death.
