20 NFL Legends Who Got Snubbed by the Hall of Fame

​The Pro Football Hall of Fame is supposed to be the ultimate honor. It’s the place where the greatest players in NFL history get their forever status. Unfortunately, the selection process isn’t perfect, and every year, deserving legends get passed over.

Some of the biggest names in football history are still waiting for Canton to call despite dominating their eras. Yet, for reasons that make little sense, the Hall of Fame committee has continued to look the other way. Here are 20 NFL legends who deserve a spot but are still waiting for their moment.

L.C. Greenwood

The Steelers’ legendary “Steel Curtain” defense had four Hall of Famers. L.C. Greenwood should have been the fifth. He helped Pittsburgh win four Super Bowls, made six Pro Bowls, and racked up 73.5 sacks. The guy even wore gold cleats before they were cool. Yet, he did not have a gold jacket.

Randy Gradishar led the Broncos’ brutal “Orange Crush” defense and racked up more than 2,000 tackles. He won Defensive Player of the Year in 1978 and made seven Pro Bowls. He was everywhere on the field, but somehow, he’s nowhere in the Hall of Fame.

Before the Super Bowl was even a thing, Al Wistert was dominating. He helped the Eagles win back-to-back championships in 1948 and 1949. He was a four-time First-Team All-Pro and a team captain for years. He even made the NFL’s 1940s All-Decade Team.

Jim Marshall

Playing 282 straight games as a defensive lineman is ridiculous. Jim Marshall was the heart of the Vikings’ “Purple People Eaters” defense and helped lead them to four Super Bowls. He was a warrior. The Hall of Fame loves durability, except when it comes to Marshall.
