This could be George Young’s last and best chance to land his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The former New York Giants general manager is currently a finalist for the Hall of Fame’s special Centennial Class of 2020.
Young, who was ‘appointed’ the Giants’ GM back in 1979 as a compromise candidate by then NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, is one of 10 contributors in nomination for the Hall. Contributors are classified individuals other than a player or coach.
The selection committee is comprised of members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee, Hall of Famers, coaches, football executives and several leading football historians.
