Question John Randle is one of my all time favorite players, period. While I know he ranks high on the all time sack leaders do you believe he has a shot at the Hall of fame. Too bad that they didnt keep sack records much earlier in the history of the game. I beleive that somewhere I read Alan Page had unofficially 173. I wonder what Eller and Marshal had.
Also...whats JR doing these days....I miss the fun he brought to the game
Answer I am glad to hear someone else out there appreciates what Johnny did in purple...and in the NFL. I am still doing some investigating to get you an answer as to his whereabouts these days. I had honestly not thought about him in awhile.
As for Hall of Fame...we both know that all depends. We could think about a man like Tinglehoff and say he needs to be in...or even Jim Marshall for goodness sake. Sometimes it takes time and people campaigning for a player so people do not forget about them or their accomplishments. Maybe you could head that up.?
Anyway, I am working on your answer so stay tuned.
