After nearly five decades of waiting, legendary Green Bay Packers guard Jerry Kramer finally received his moment in the sun and was formally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Kramer finally got the call in 2018 after previously being nominated ten times. His enshrinement marked the end of an odyssey that nobody really expected to last this long.
In fact, Kramer’s credentials for enshrinement were so impeccable you can easily argue he should have gotten his gold jacket years ago. Kramer is a five-team All-Pro selection, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, and until this season was the only remaining member of the NFL’s 50th Anniversary team not enshrined in Canton.
