The most over looked person in the NFL he should have been in years ago. To bad he did not get rings for all 5 of those Championships
Jerry Kramer elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame
G Jerry Kramer, who played 11 seasons (1958-68) for the Green Bay Packers and was a member of teams that won five NFL championships and two Super Bowls, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a senior candidate. The announcement was made today by the Hall of Fame’s selection committee in Minneapolis.
Kramer delivered the key block that made way for Bart Starr’s game-winning touchdown in the 1967 NFL Championship against the Dallas Cowboys, a game famously known as the “Ice Bowl.” On top of being a big part of the offensive line, he also handled placekicking duties in 1962-63 and briefly in his final season. For his career, Kramer totaled 177 career points on 90 extra points and 29 field goals made. He kicked three field goals and one PAT in the 1962 NFL Championship Game win at the New York Giants.
Kramer is the 25th member of the Packers to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The 11th time was the charm for the Lombardi-era star to make it, and perhaps the most glaring omission from not only Packers’ history but also all of the NFL is finally in. One of two senior committee finalists, Kramer had been a senior nominee once before and was a nine-time modern-era finalist. Kramer was the only one on the NFL’s 50th anniversary team not in the Hall of Fame. He’s the 13th player from the Lombardi-era Packers (plus Lombardi) to be inducted and the third offensive lineman (Forrest Gregg and Jim Ringo were the others). Kramer was on all five of the Packers’ championship teams in the 1960s.
