Jerry Kramer: Nobody’s more deserving

If there is one former Green Bay Packers player who is deserving of inclusion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we all know it’s Jerry Kramer.

Not only has Kramer been an ambassador for the Packers organization over the past 50 years, but for the entire NFL.

Set aside the fact that Jerry Kramer is a smart guy who has not only written several books and has appeared on many television programs over the years — he was also one of the best pulling guards in the entire league during his playing days with those Lombardi championship teams of the 1960s.

Yes, he’s the only player selected to the First 50 years team; he’s won fife championships; and he was selected All-Pro five times.

Without Kramer’s leadership and athletic abilities, Lombardi’s famous power sweep would never have been successful.

Take a look at some of those iconic pictures taken during the 1960s of Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor being led out of the backfield by Kramer … those pictures alone tell the story.

Why Kramer has been left on the sidelines all these years without being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is beyond the comprehension of every Packers fan on the planet.
