Jay,

I already e-mailed Gayle with the requested additions. You are correct, Winston Hill getting another vote wouldn't help anyway.

I will make sure he is on the initial ballot for next years vote along with any others who received at leats 2 votes.

Thing about Hill is that he was never once selected as a first-team All-Pro even though he played in the AFL on the first AFL team to win a Super Bowl. Other AFL'ers like OG Walt Sweeney or even QB Jack Kemp have better resumes than Hill.

For players who played the majority of their career's and had most of their success in the AFL, there might be a couple more of those guys in the HOF down the road, but if I were ranking them:

1- Johnny Robinson
2- Jim Tyrer
3- Ed Budde
4- Rich Jackson
5- Walt Sweeney
6- Larry Grantham
7- Winston Hill

Would be pretty surprising to see 5-6 more AFL guys elected to the HOF...They've already got:

Lance Alworth
Bobby Bell
George Blanda
Willie Brown
Buck Buchanon
Nick Buoniconti
Len Dawson
Don Maynard
Ron Mix
Joe Namath
Jim Otto
Billy Shaw

AFL was only an 8-10 team league that lasted exactly 10 years..To already have 12 players in the HOF is pretty well represented IMO.

I have 2 Leaf Wistert's if anyone is interested. One is a PSA 4 and the other is raw and should grade in the PSA 4 to 5 range.
