Former linebacker Sam Mills isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In fact, he’s never been nominated as a finalist or as a semifinalist. While I understand this, I also understand this is the Pro Football Hall of Fame … not the NFL Hall of Fame.

So what? So Sam Mills deserves to be discussed as one of its candidates, and I don’t think I need to draw you a picture. Not only was he a standout linebacker in the NFL; he was so good in the USFL that people tell me he was one of that league’s two best defensive players.
