Pro Football Hall of Fame hopeful, NE Patriots owner, Robert Kraft (contributor) has had a few off the field incidents in the news. Possibly of note, he appears in the recent Epstein file releases which might impact perception as Kraft's run in with the law caught Jeff's attention multiple times.

So the actual NFL is handing out the award, sort of like the old Joe F Carr Trophy? I wonder how that works with the NFL/NFLPA CBA as it's technically not from the veteran media and not among the listed awards. Glad to see the concept get revitalized.

Approximate percentage of contributing players in the NFL each year to make the HOF (layered by inducted path modern/senior).
Swings in the 20s and 30s due to the NFL radically growing and contracting.
1945-49 perhaps under represented
1951-59 HOF flush
1960-99 Modern induction % ~fairly~ flat

Thanks, I will try to figure out that stuff in BI. Seems like a known mozilla issue with pasting images in bluesky, curious if it happens again. Visual is ugly, but shows what I was curious about.

I was looking at some PFF data after downloading PowerBI today, @jaydpauley.bsky.social , is there a known sports preference between these charts? It's same data, just with X and Y flipped. Top looks more organic, bottom is also kind of neat with the very obvious forced incompletion granularity.

Cardinals LT/RT Ernie McMillan is one of my favorite underrated historical players. Cowboy's legit 4 deep at cornerback. DeMarcus Ware and Micah Parsons would be a problem for anyone.

In 1963, a few years before his HOF induction, Otto Graham was sometimes called the greatest QB of all time. Though, like today, always detractors.

Version .1 on coming up with a condensed All Time Team single year peak. Qb, feels like coin flipping on Brady, 04 Manning, 84 Marino. RB has an embarrassment of riches. Only a few slam dunks which in itself is pretty amazing -- 18 Donald, 94 Deion, 11 Gronk, X Stephenson

Last year Fox Sports did these 3 graphics. For fun I'm making a few teams (12 Off, 12 Def) based on single season peaks.
Some amazing edge yrs to stack and rank, '12 JJ Watt, '87 Reggie White, '86 Lawrence Taylor, '51 Len Ford, '64 Deacon Jones, '90 Bruce Smith, etc. Other positions are also hard.

Didn't expect this to happen. Neat that it did.
Big winners are Cleveland, Paul Brown, Otto Graham, and Marion Motley.

SIU publicist Glen Stone alleging that Bullet Bob Hayes was (at some point in time?) able to run the 40 yard dash in 4.2 seconds. This is the earliest 4.2 second claim I've come across. 4.3 is still very rare in this era ('65-'75).

The perhaps less than venerable OJ Simpson, in 1968 while playing for USC, was timed at 4.3 and 4.4 seconds in the 40 yard dash by Dallas Cowboy scouts.

1966 training camp, the World's Fastest Man, Bullet Bob Hayes with a 4.4 second 40 yard dash in FULL pads.
A couple early examples of players being timed at 4.3 seconds in the 40 yard dash.
NFL - Green Bay Packers, Travis Williams (RB/KO/PR) timed at 4.3 in 1967.
CFB - UTEP, Volley Murphy, (WR) timed at 4.3 in 1968.
