Fred Biletnikoff ready for special trip to Pro Football Hall of Fame

Since he was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988, legendary Raiders’ wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff has made the trip to Canton, Ohio most summers for the enshrinement ceremony like so many Hall of Famers do.

This year it will be extra special for Biletnikoff. The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Tuesday he will be honored during the week of the enshrinement to commemorate the 35th year anniversary of his enshrinement.

When Fred Biletnikoff broke into the NFL, critics said he was too slow, too small and not strong enough to compete at the highest level.
