Please vote for Jerry Kramer to inducted into the Hall of Fame. It is because of awesome men like Jerry that the NFL is what is it today. He is more than just a great football player, he is a great man that make all of Packer nation proud !! He deserves to be in the Hall so please acknowledge him for his contributions on and off the field.
The time is way overdue so please give all the fans what they want, a chance to see a great football player, a great spokesperson of the game and more importantly a great man that truly deserves to be inducted.

There is no valid reason for Jerry not being in the PFHOF. Simple as that.

His team dominated to the extent that it would justify electing the team. The packer sweep was so dominant due to jerry kramer.

The argument that there are too many Lombardi era Packers already in the HOF isnt valid. If the stats say he should be i - HE SHOULD BE IN

Most deserving non- elected HOF who ever played the game - and a GREAT guy
Kevin Dougherty
At a time when so many past NFL players lobby for a place among the NFL shrine, Mr. Kramer has remained above such frivolity. His career stands equal to or surpasses many who are now currently enshrined in Canton. Having lived in Canton my entire life, and having been a Packers fan when I was a child, I support the effort to get Mr. Kramer his rightful place in the Hall. As the previous entry states, #64 of the Green Bay Packers should have been in the Hall 20 years ago.

I was really surprised to find out that Jerry Kramer is not already in the Hall. I just assumed that he was. He's obviously one of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history, and he deserves the nod.
Jerry Verhaagh
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in a hall of fame jacket!
Efrat Avnor
All the best achieving this fast!
Michael Derry
There is no way that Jerry Kramer should not be in the hall of fame .. Soon Please

figure it out. Put Jerry in Canton.
Marc Remick
No one else is more deserving of this honor than Jerry Kramer
Jay Passey
It's Time!!!!
John M Cote
What are we waiting for? After he's dead will be tragically too late. He's one of the greatest players of all time and from what I'm told a really great guy as well.
Ronald Stevens
The greatest travesty in professional sports. Jerry Kramer belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Joel Shepeck
Jerry Kramer also served as the team's place kicker in 1962, 1963, and part of 1968. As a kicker, he kicked 29 field goals, 90 extra points, for a total of 177 points. He also kicked 3 field goals and 1 extra point in the Packers 16-7 victory over the New York Giants in the 1962 NFL title game..
Mark Adams
Just get it done. Jerry belongs in the hall of fame.
Nancy Regalmuto
Jerry was a key figure in the signature play for the Packers of the 1960's: the power sweep. He was also a key figure in the play that won the ice Bowl: Starr's QB sneak. I had the chance to meet him a couple times and found him to be very warm and affable. He clearly deserves this honor.
Stephen Perkins
Jerry Kramer was also on the NFL all decade team of the 1960's. He should have been elected to the NFL Hall of Fame 40 years ago!!!
Jimmy starling
It's a shame this has not happened for such a great player and person. Lets get this done and right the wrong. Loved watching him and the Packers as a kid growing up
Steve odom
Jerry should have been in hall 30 yrs ago
Doug Rogalla
outstanding football player on perhaps the best ever NFL team
Tim Bowen
It's ridiculous and insulting that this classic, outstanding, accomplished class act of a player STILL isn't in the HOF. Maybe it's not game stats but his great books were an inspiration to kids back then to get interested in Pro Football.
Jeffrey Helgeson
I have read Instant Replay every year at the beginning of football season. I has never failed to motivate me. I wore his number in high school and college in tribute to him. His recognition by the Hall of Fame is sorely overdue.
Martha Kreger
No one deserves to be in the Hall of Fame next year than Jerry Kramer. What are you waiting for? He should have been inducted years ago!
Chris Johll
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the rest of his team mates. Jerry was one of the toughest and best guards to play the game. Jerry is a great ambassador for the Green Bay Packers and Pro Football. Get him in the hall where he belongs.
Kenneth Yagodinski
You can't have a true and honest Hall of Fame without Jerry.
Juli Schultz
This is a travesty.. why isn't Jerry in the HOF?
Mike Mansella
This is LONG overdue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Love you Jerry.
Jeff Deavers
This is becoming a joke! How much more does one football player need on his resume to be in the HALL OF Fame. Give Jerry Kramer his rightful place in HOF.
Ron romain
Great success, great role model, great athlete
David Huffman
The longer Jerry is left out, the more of a joke the Hall becomes. Every living Packer in the Hall should ask to have their name remove from the Hall. Teams stick together and Packet greats need to stand together and stick it to the Hall!
Rick Weier
Maybe a short video posted on youtube or facebook will help get the word out about all Jerry's acomplishments .
Rick Weier
This needs to get done.
David Chippero
Jerry deserves to be in the hall. I can't stand the Packers but it's a crime that Kramer is not in the hall.
Dave Taylor
Native New Englander and Pats fan, but the first sports book I ever read was Kramer's Instant Replay. I was hooked on the game after reading that and became a lifelong fan of the game and admirer of Lombardi's Packers. Jerry Kramer belongs on that HOF O-Line as much as John Hannah. He personifies the definition of winner and perseverance. He deserves this honor now, while he is on this earth.
John Hydukw
Jerry Kramer was the best pulling guard I ever saw. Taylor and Hornung would not be in the HOF without the blocking of Thurston and Kramer.
George Ebers
The absence of Kramer detracts from the Hall and makes selection look arbitrary or happenstance. Selected to the all first 50 yr team but not to the hall?
Dwayne L. Evanson
Had the privilege of meeting Mr. Kramer at the alumni tailgate party prior to the Seahawks game a dedicated Packer icon.
Randy Regan
Watched Jerry play as a kid - he succeeded on every play with every assignment - he was and still is today our teacher when it came to perseverance. Jerry's performance and character on and off the field are what the HOF is all about. Thanks, from me and my boys Jerry and God bless.
Randy Regan
The true Football Hall Of Fame is in the hearts and minds of every fan, player, coach and owner of the game...and there, Jerry has been, since he we first saw him play. Thanks Jerry and God bless.
Joe Forton
Let's put up the good fight for Mr. Jerry Kramer to be in the HOF....it's not really a HOF without him.
Duane Boldt
I was able to watch him in most of those years
Ian Baker
I read Kramer's books in the 7th Grand and wore #64 in his honor in both high school and college. How can he be included on the 50 year team and be the only one not in the Hall? It is a travesty!
Terry Gilbertson
Should have been in years ago.
Greg Lodl
Jerry clearly belongs in the HOF. The fact that he is the only member of the NFL's 50th anniversay team not in the HOF is ridiculous . He clearly is being railroaded for some reason.
Carol Fetzer
He should be in the Hall of Fame! No question!
Michael Schulz
It's a shame that this man has been overlooked for so long
Arthur Buhl
He is without a doubt one of the greatest guards in the history of the game, The other is Fred Thurston. Mr. Kramer was an idol and a magnificent example to boys like myself during his tenure with Green Bay. Leaving Jerry Kramer and Fred Thurston out of the Hall of Hall just leaves two vital vacancies to a great Team of members. Please install them both.
Jeff erickson
Jerry should be in the NFL Hall of Fame
Jeffrey R Harper
One of the greatest guards to ever play the game and a true gentleman. A super ambassador for the NFL. We need more like him now.
Bill Sutherland
Put Jerry in the HOF.
He is a true ambassador of the sport & was a HOF player.
We met Jerry in Radio row @SB50
He took the time to sign for the kids & all fans. What a great memory we got from a true legend.
Rich Reensta
Medical miracle and true gentleman. In an era of police reports and NFL players, we need Jerry.
Melvin Church
how can anyone be in the hof if he is not. He played in a pick up basketball game at his hs in 1961. all 110 pounds of me bumped into him, and he picked me up with one hand.
Paul W Turner
To a great player and a great writer of the game.
Seth Damrow
Why hasn't he already been in? I'm confused!
Mike Smeriglio
It is ridiculous that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. The latest old timer selection, also an offensive lineman, does not have the stats the Kramer has. It is only because they do not want so many Packers from that era.
Besides his stats, his book Instant Replay had a great influence on many from my generation. I read that even Roger Goodell was shocked that he was NOT in the Hall of Fame. You should be ashamed of this slight. Make the Hall of Fame complete and put Jerry Kramer in. Do the right thing.
Lacinda Readinger
Why is not in the hall of fame??? Last night I watched the 8 that made it into the hall of fame and I believe he did more that over half of your men that you inducted in this year! My husband said of course he was in the hall of fame! He was shocked when I told him no and why!!
Anonymous
I read his autobiography when I was 15 and it had just come out. That very well might have led to my being one of the first 10 females in newspaper sportswriting. Give the man his (over)due credit.
Paul W Turner
This great player and writer of the game should be in the Hall of Fame. Let's get him now and posthumously.
Paul W Turner
delete This great player and writer of the game should be in the Hall of Fame. Let's get him now and not posthumously.
charles cole
If Jerry Kramer is left out of Hall of Fame, you have diminished everyone else in it. Come on guys.
bruce sopkowicz
Saw him play many times and it is a joke & conspiracy by NFL not to induct him into HOF
John Jennings
Gross injustice that Kramer is rejected by a group of " sportswriters" who never saw him play. As the guys he faced if he should be in the HOF.... There ,within, you will find your answer to his worthiness.
Ryan VanDewerker
It's time, induct him he deserves to be recognized!
Toby Spoon
It has been a long standing travesty that Jerry has not been recognized at the ultimate level in professional football. This needs to be rectified today
Mike Taylor
One of the all time greats, enshrine him while he can still attend the induction ceremony
John Carrington
Jerry is long over due for the Hall of Fame. The comments that there are too many of Lombardi's players on the Hall is ridiculous - if they deserve it - put them on!
Jan Biddick
I have been a Jerry Kramer fan since I was in 5th grade - a LONG time ago! He was my hero then, and I still admire him and want him in the Hall of Fame!!
Steven Tate
Jerry should be in the PF HOF for his outstanding athletic and impact on the game of football as a player in the 1960s. He also has contributed to contribute to football as an outstanding ambassador of the game and helped a lot of people to love the game and has inspired others by his great story telling and passion.
Scot Sticha
This man deserves to be in the H.O.F. his career stats are beyond amazing. Let's me this happen before it's to late. #64KramerHOF! #Team64Kramer4Life!
Rocky white
I think it's a shame that this man is not in the hall of fame. and i think it does football a great injustice as a hole along with everyone involved.
Roger Schroeder
He should be there
jim anderson
its a crying shame that the best oline man in pro football history is not in the pro football hall of fame
Ronn Buhrow
Time for this to happen.
Bernards Fox
This is a no Brainer and should have happened long ago. Other offensive linemen getting in ahead of Jerry is a disgrace, Dierdorf, let's do what'she right, Ice Bowl Baby.
Scott Volkmann
C'mon Man!!!
Chuck Davis
Jerry Kramer was part of my youth and admiration for the Packers. He was a workhorse and with his work ethic and intrigity, he should hands down be part of the NFL Hall of Fame.
Veny Musum
It is inconceivable that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame!
This is,a disgrace that is LONG overdue being rectified.
john hart
who did he piss off
Thomas Bohmer
5 time all-pro. Member of the Packer Hall of Fame, NFL 50th Anniversary Team, NFL 1960s All Decade Team, won 5 NFL championships. What more did he have to do to earn an invite to Canton? All but one of the 50th Anniversary team is in the HOF and that's Jerry Kramer. That's a crime.
Matt Purtill
He should be in. Absolute joke that he isn't.
Eric Hinz
Jerry Kramer belongs in the National Football Hall of Fame and every Green Bay Packer Fan around the world should be yelling from the mountain tops to get this wonderful induvial into the Hall of Fame. For him not to be in there with his teammates is a disgrace to the Packer and the NFL. If somehow he gets in there after he dies, that would be a travesty and the NFL voters ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Justin Leslie
WTF!! NFL Will Shields before JK?
Gregory
A true Packer great and leader on a team that began the modern era of what football is today.
Albert J Busbani
he should of been in a long time ago
Cheryl Brekke
It is totally crazy that Jerry Kramer is not already in the Hall of Fame. Don't delay! He deserves to be voted in right away!
Bob Erickson
Three-time Pro Bowler
Six-time All-Pro Selection

WTF more does a player need to do!!
Jeff Fletcher
His accomplishments during his 10 year career and support from his peers says it all. Jerry Kramer without a doubt should be and needs to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Pam Pearce
With all of Jerry's accomplishments he deserves to be recognized by induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!!
Tim Corcoran
Needs to finish to great packer 60's legacy
steven haferman
only man from nfl 50 anniversary teamnot in HOF what an injustice!!!
Jason Conlan
How a man with so many accomplishments and also founding a charity organisation such as Grid Iron Greats can be treated with such disdain is beyond me and it will be a travesty if he does not go in.
Jeff Kaufman
I hope this happens in Jerry's lifetime.
Vince Tesi
Jerry Kramer was and always will be an inseparable link to the Packer Sweep. He played at a high level through injuries and for the most demanding coach in NFL history. Kramer is worthy of a place in the Hall of Fame
Anonymous
An all time great Guard. Should have been inducted decades ago.
DENNIS SJ ANDERSON
I would like one of the senior committee members to tell the truth as to why Mr. Kramer has not been selected to the HOF. What excuse could they possibly come up with? The "Too many Lombardi era players" excuse is a complete joke. Put #64 in already before he is gone and enjoy it.
Darren Cummings
Should have been in years ago. Lets not wait like Stabler and Stanfel and put him in after he's passed on and can't enjoy it.
Edward Snyder
It's a travesty that Kramer isn't in the hall. The voters show a complete lack of common sense by letting it go this long. There is absolutely no justification for his exclusion. With Kramer's credentials, how can the Hall snub him and expect to have any credibility. PUT KRAMER IN CANTON!!!
Joseph Anderson
Jerry was one of the best guards ever. Hes earned the right to be in the Hall. And he accomplished alot more than say, Warren Sapp, who won one super bowl , and had how many arrests? Sapp shouldn't be in the Hall. Jerry Kramer should be.
Douglas Bales
The exclusion of Jerry Kramer from the Pro Football HOF is inexcusable and decades overdue! This man was named the outstanding guard in the history of the NFL as far back as 1969! An all time great and a first class human being. The NFL channel even lists him as the #1 overlooked candidate for the HOF that has never been enshrined as of a show broadcast on the NFL network titled "Top 10 Players Not In the HOF".
barbara custer
Deserving of the honor !!
Donald C Porter
Jerry Kramer's selection to the NFL HOF is long overdue
Bruce Jennings
Definitely one of the Packer greats and epitomized what
Green Bay Packers football was all about.
Lee Roselli
I cannot believe that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. Besides his accomplishments, he was a lynchpin of the green
bay sweep which is one of basic plays of football. Jerry was from a era where football players were looked up to and for
good reason. I am 35 yr deputy sheriff who has had to deal with the football players of today in situtations where their
behavior, atitude and actions were deplorable ,in fact arrests were made. I cannot believe he is not there yet this is reason
why NFL popularity is wanning .
Bruce Scott
Jerry was my hero during my high school and college football career. He and Fuzzy Thurston were the keys to the famous Packers power sweep which was the scurge of the NFL. He definitely needs to be elected into the hall of fame.
David Maffey
He deserves to be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame. Just get it done while he is still with us and is able to enjoy it.
David Bowden
It's time!
Morgan Ehn
I first read "Instant Replay" when I was about 12 years old. I still consider it my favorite NFL book. I don't remember much about his playing career, but you can't argue with his stats. He belongs in the HOF.
daniel Adams
it is a travesty that this man has not been elected to the H O F
Perry Riggenbach
He was one of the best guards ever and they had to block back in the day not grab jerseys
Ed Helfrich
And a great partner at TPC Sawgrass in the 80's
Juan DeHoyos
With all due respect. I am begging you to not forget about Jerry Kramer. He truly deserves entry. The Legendary Vince Lombardi even said he was the best Guard in the NFL. How could you argue with that? All 50th Anniversary team. Only one not inducted? Wow. Please be the brave ones to simply vote him in. Thank you very much.
Brett Johnston
If he is in the NFL top 50 he should be in the hall
brad kell
should have been in as soon as was eligible to be.....
Steven manthey
let's do this
John boffa
Put him in now!!?
Robert Schlimgen
He needs to be in.
Paul Hassler
How can a player be named the best guard of the first 50 years of the nfl and not be in the hall of fame?
Chuck Wehrle
It's time!!!
Robert W Koszyczarek
Jerry deserves to be in the Hall of Fame more than most other players from that era!
Anonymous
This is long overdue for someone who achiveved so much and has contributed so much to the game. He is much more deserving than many others considered recently
Chris Long
It is beyond ridiculous he's not in the hall.
Chuck Nyren
Jerry Kramer and Cliff Branch are the biggest pro football HOF snubs. Get them on the seniors ballot for 2018 while they are alive to enjoy it with their families. When Stabler (along with Favre and others) went in last year, it was sad to see that Stabler wasn't there to enjoy his day. Don't let that happen to Jerry!
Scott Hancock
Jerry Kramer is why I wore number 64 in high school
fred hettinger
this is a joke put jerry in
Julie Goodrich
Please look at Jerry Kramer again for the honor of the Hall of Fame, before he dies. He is 81 and I hope still in good health. Think of how hard it was for any man to be on the offensive line for 11 years, back in the day. Please consider him for the Hall of Fame. 2/9/2017
George Patchell
I can't believe one of the 50th Anniversary Team is not in the Hall! Please induct Jerry in his lifetime.
Greg Kretser
Stunned to recently learn that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall. I remember his playing days well, and I always thought he would be a shoo-in based on his high visibility as a run blocker, especially. Correct this wrong before he passes.
Donald Connell
The biggest snub from the Hall of Fame in my opinion.
Steve DeCristofor
He deserves it and then some.
Gary Barnett
An honor that needs to be bestowed on one of the greatest!
Rick Wirch
It is past time to honor this wonderful player and man.
James Lenczowski
Fortunate to watch Jerry Kramer play for GB since 1961.
He should be in Canton Hall of Fame.
Christopher O'Connor
Long overdue. Hope this petiton can help right the wrong done to Jerry.
Ed Kelly
Please put Jerry in the HOF. He deserves it. Thank you.
Dan Hoechlin
Thank you for making this happen. Jerry Kramer was the reason I played guard in high school and is the reason I am a devout Packers fan. Please get him in the HOF!
Mark O'Brien
I'm shocked and disturbed that Jerry Kramer is not in the HOF. Why have a HOF at all if a guy like Kramer can't make it 'in' with all his credentials. Please right this wrong during this legend's lifetime.
Ryan Brandenburg
HE BELONGS
Gregory Caswell
It is crazy that Jerry is not in the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching this guy and the facts speak for themselves.
Richard F Piotrowicz
I am a lifelong Packer fan and recall the Lombardi years. Jerry Kramer belongs in the Hall of Fame for what he did on the field and for his wonderful book "Instant Replay". His book not only gave the fan a view inside the world of the great Green Bay Packer pro-football team but offered many life lessons about teamwork, dedication, success and failure that made an indelible impression on me as a young teen and have stayed with me throughout my life. Jerry, you are a Hall of Famer in my book and I thank you for all you've done. With thanks,
Michael Faucette
Jerry Kramer should be in the HOF, hands down. No more discussion, elect him
Greg Melendes
Makes absolutely no sense. Even if you never saw all the tapes, Jerry was an anchor of a great offensive line. Don't get it...but hopefully will be fixed in his lifetime!
HARRY Palmer
So deserving.
Please -while he's still with us
thank you
Dennis Carlton
Best lineman on one of the best teams ever
Fred Taylor
Rooted against him for years, but the man was a stud and definitely deserves in!! Long overdue!
Gregg R Gustafson
What a travesty!!! Put Jerry in already.
Randall Bird
Jerry Jones, Terrel Davis HOF ???
Put Jerry in...he EARNED IT!
Ron Compton
How can he NOT be in the the HOF
THis is a wrong that must be corrected
Michael Denis
Do the right thing. Go Pack Go.
Nichole Smith
You're literally high if you think he doesn't belong. Every writer that doesn't vote for Kramer needs a swift kick to the groin and to be fired from whatever worthless football related job they have. And that's all I have to say about that.
Lisa Perkins
Way over due. First two Super Bowls wouldn't have been won without Jerry!
Joe Lonero
He should have been in the HOF at least 30 years ago. There was no better guard in his time.
Craig Trimble
Packer Owner - he is fully deserving
Harold Sheedlo
Kramer deserves his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Joe Moore
This is an unforgivable omission by the Hall voters. They need to fix this.
Ryan VanAcker
Please put Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His statistics and championships won have earned him the right into the Hall. Many players have been enshrined with lesser stats, championships, and admiration of fans.
Jerry is also an incredible human being and represents the type of character you look for in an enshrinee.
Please induct him before it is too late. He deserves to be alive and on stage to give his induction speech. He has given his life and his body to this game.
Thank you
Ryan VanAcker
Steve Rigazzi
Mr. Kramer IS NFL royalty! His career with the legendary Green Bay Packers ALONE should give a place in the Hall of Fame.
Dale Zarling
HOF get your collective heads out of you butt and vote Jerry Kramer into the hall. This man flat our deserves it over many that you have voted in over the years.
David Pfeiffer
Life long Viking fan here. I hate the Packers. I respect Jerry. He belongs in Canton.
Julia Price
Please get Jerry Kramer the recognition he deserves and induct him into the hall of fame. Thank you on behalf of me and my father and my grandfather who all believe in him. Sincerely, Julia Price
Wayne turner
One of the best. ...he belongs. ...make it so.........
Ralph Richards
Grew up in WI in the Packer Glory Days. Jerry Kramer one of the best.
Peter Vanderhaden
I watched Jerry during the 60's and it's absolutely ridiculous that he didn't make the hall of fame decades ago.
Stephen Chinn
Please vote Mr. Kramer in. He deserves to be in. Mr. Kramer should be in & it's a crime that he isn't, and in the immortal words of Vince Lombardi " What the hell is going on out here". Truer words were never spoken. Please vote Jerry in while he's still alive to enjoy it. We the football fans demand this!
Dick Story
Not a Packer fan, but FB fan, and cannot believe Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. Shane on the voters. Shame.
Bob Hannes
Give the man the recognition he deserves!
Raymond Wood
Unbelievable that Mr. Kramer is not in the Hall with the rest of his teammates and the other greatest of the greatest. Long overdue in rectifying this abominable situation.
Clinton Mitchell
I have met Jerry twice a nicer man I have never met it is a crime he is not in the hall
Craig Ratkovich
I played guard in high school in 1966.I studied as much film on Kramer and watched as many Packer games as I could to study his techniques. He was the best all around guard of his era, and it is just wrong he is not in the hall of fame. Do not wait until he passes, please rectify this now!
Theresa Engel
Good luck Jerry!! #64 Go Pack Go
Cathy Casey Martinson
It's unbelievable that he's not in yet. Please, please, just vote him in. He most definitely deserves this!!
Richard V Piel Jr
Obviously this is a terrible oversight. This needs both an
"Instant Replay" and a "Distant Replay" two great books about football, and life, from Mr. Kramer. The Packers of this era broke the hearts of Baltimore Colt fans like myself many times. God bless you Mr. Kramer, the old NFL and your team mates who know how to be athletes on the field, and gentlemen off the field
John Wunnicke
He is one of the greatest players that has ever played the game...and with his heart in it.
Amy Robson Steidle
Jerry Kramer is deserving. He has earned this. Please honor him, HOF.
Patrick Chevalier
This is LONG overdue. Please induct Jerry before he passes.
Harry Hamil
When I was a boy growing up in Jackson, MS in the 1950's, the only NFL team we regularly saw was Green Bay. That was great for me, my Dad and my brother because Green Bay was our favorite team. I played guard in Junior HS and loved to pull and trap players like Jerry did. Also when I moved to Chicagoland for my senior year in HS and had to play blocking fullback at 152 pounds, I had trouble getting to the defensive ends on a roll out. Then I realized I could step up and act like a pulling guard. I was so small I frequently wasn't seen. FYI, I was the starting fullback and blocked for a quarterback, Jim O'Toole who won the Knute Rockne award as the best prep player in Chicagoland.
Jerry Kramer was my ideal guard then and continues to be to this day. Watching him, being inspired by him made me a better player and a better person.
Tony Reed
An absolute travesty that Kramer is not already in the Hall of Fame. Let's get it right soon, so Jerry can speak at his enshrinement as opposed to others like Ken Stabler who, because he was deceased, did not get the opportunity to give a speech.
John Beauchaine
The biggest travesty of justice is not putting Jerry Kramer in the NFL Hall of Fame. Jerry is the ONLY player named to the NFL's 50th Anniversary Team not inducted into the NFL HOF!!
It is time to right this travesty.
Terry Sauer
Jerry has to get in! So deserving!
Anonymous
As a long time Cowboys fan who remembers the old glory days of professional football, I find this snub incomprehensible. For the robe of Pete, please make Jerry Kramer a Hall of Famer!
Matthew J Rockwood
No question, this man deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is one of the greatest of the Lombardi Packers, and it is a shame he is not in already.
David Demichei
Jerry Kramer is unquestionably one of the greatest offensive lineman of his era. The fact that he is not in the hall because of "too many Packers" is a travesty. How can he be voted to the 50 year all-time team and not be in?
Jeff Angelo
I was shocked to learn that Jerry Kramer was not already in the Hall. What a travesty!
Karl Held
Mr Kramer clearly deserves induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There is no question this is long overdue
Steve Oattes
One of Lombardi's favourite players. Great guard on football's greatest team.
Roy
Starr, Taylor, Hornung are not in the HOF w/o 64!
The other fact always over-looked: JK = Kicker - 177pts, come on. It's time HOF voters. Get it right !!!
Shannon Koplitz
Put a world class player where he belongs..Hall of Fame !!!!
Michael Yoder
Key player in the Green Bay offense, run and pass. One of two guards on the 50th Anniversary All NFL team and the only member of that team NOT enshrined. It is beyond stupid he is not in there.
Scott Voss
To say that Jerry Kramer has been snubbed by the HoF is a terrific understatement. The main reason the Packers of the 60's were so dominant was because of the o-line. All the other greats from that team were so because of the linemen.
Howard Greene
Look at his career. How is he not in the Hall Of Fame? Baffling...
Timothy Prindiville
Unfathomable. Unbelievable. Travesty.
To me, the HoF always represented the best. I grew up in the 60's. The Packer sweep was the signature play of the 60's. And Jerry Kramer led the way.
Simply put, Jerry Kramer was the best player at his position during a period that saw the NFL explode in popularity. If the player chosen to be the best at his position in the first 50 years of the game is NOT in the Hall...then why have a Hall of Fame?
Please bring justice to this travesty. And please do it before it's too late for the Kramer family to enjoy.
Edward S Triggs
Jerry Kramer richly deserves a place in the Hall of Fame. His greatness has been endorsed by his football colleagues and peers. This is an injustice. Kramer was and remains a model of class and professionalism- and he was one of the best guards to ever play the game. Do the right thing.
Shelby Meade
Heavy Browns fan since 1950.....I am appalled that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame...He belongs there; be has earned this seat in Canton; He is the face of the Packers during the 60's.......Please correct th

It is a joke that Jerry is not in

Thanks so much for doing this. A slight of historic proportions. My favorite Jerry story is him kicking three field goals in the NFL championship that the Packers won 16-7. How many guards ever did that?
Peter Turek
damn shame Jerry, fellow offensive lineman Bob Skoronski, Gale Gillingham and Boyd Dowler are not HOF. Now this piece of dog crap Owens is barking he should be there, no way.
Brian C Pierce
This is simply the right thing to do.
Don't over think it. Evaluate his play and get him into the HOF.
Tyke Pierce
easily a HOFer
Jim Reynolds
How Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame is beyond me. I've been an Eagles fan for over 50 years and saw Kramer play many times. There has never been a better lead blocker on a sweep than Kramer. Plus his book "Instant Replay" solidified ne as a fan of the game
RC Keller
Do the right thing!
adam genazzio
The image of Jerry Kramer's block in the Ice Bowl, is as recognizable as the image of the American Flag being raised at Iwo Jima, He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Gene Littlefield
A very good man and friend. A crime he has not been inducted.

I grew up watching Jerry Kramer play. I wore #64 because I wanted to be the best. Not having Mr. Kramer in the Hall of Fame diminishes the honor that the other inductees must feel.
Dawn Klenke
Please let's get Jerry Kramer into Canton while he is still here to participate in the induction.

I was just reading in the Lewiston Morning Tribune about Jerry Kramer and was moved by the article. I want to add my name and my support to the idea that Jerry Kramer deserves to again be considered and appointed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has earned it.
Doug Hutchison
Come on committee...Do the right thing and vote Jerry into the Hall of Fame where he belongs. It's long overdue!
Tom Smith
best OG ever to play in the NFL.
Thomas K Burr Sr
I lived in Milwaukee when Lumbardi turned that team around. It was great being a fan. Jerry played his position as well as any other player on that team who is in Canton. I can remember Hornung or Taylor hanging on to the back of his shirt as they turned the corner. Correct the insult !
Brian Lambert
I watched Jerry and his block some odd 50 years ago in the ice bowl. He was the best right guard in the league. I also read Instant Reply when I was 16 years old. There is no reason that he should not be in the hall of fame for what he has accomplished in the NFL. How can he be named as a guard in the NFL 50th anniversary team and not be in the HALL. The people who elect the hall members need to get off their high horse and look at what Jerry has done. He deserves to be in. Please make this happen.
Marty Coon
I've been a Kramer fan since 1963!
So, yes I believe he should be in the Hall of Fame!
Jerry Baltzell
Jerry Kramer is very deserving of this award and it is long overdue.
Rod Pettit
I watched Jerry Kramer as I was contemplating playing football myself. He was an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others who may not have had the tools to be a running back or receiver, the positions that being the attention and accolades. I was a lineman through junior high, high school and college. It was inspirational to see a player that was a large part of the success of his team but didn't need the spot light. It is a shame that the man that gave as much to the game both on and off the field and inspired many people is not enshrined yet. Please right this tragic wrong.
William M Reese
This man is the most deserving player to be selected into this years NFL Hall of Fame

Margarete Fallay
We were Kramer';s neighbors for quite a number of years (Chalet Motel) .Can;t find better people. Jerry belongs in the Hall of Fame! Great guy - great player!

Dear HOF, don;t fall for the generational and statistical bias that comes with each new crop. The NFL of today was built on the shoulders of these early giants. Jerry Kramer was one of these. Put him in the Hall so you can salvage your credibility before it is too late.
Lloyd Foster
One of the greatest guards to play the game. Equally good as a young man at the University of Idaho. Should be in the Hall of Fame.

He should have been inducted years ago. What a travesty!

"Assuming" is one of the worst mistakes a person can make...make it happen now!

His exemplary football career alone was enough to qualify him for the Hall long ago, but his off-field representation of the NFL in several books and many public appearances really seals the deal.
Donna Law
It is way past time for this to be done.
John Venuti
I watched him play at the University of Idaho..... followed him in the pro's playing for the Packers....his talent and achievements deserve to be recognized..... and placed in the Hall of Fame.
Bill Irving
Voting Jerry Kramer in to the NFL Hall of Fame is not only a matter of fairness to one player but a matter of integrity for the Hall of Fame, who ought to include the finest players in the history of the NFL. To keep Jerry Kramer out is a travesty that long ago ought to have been rectified and now needs to be rectified for the sake of the game and the Hall of Fame. Thank you, Greg, for sponsoring this petition. I've been a Packer fan for some 60 years (I'm 65) because of Jerry Kramer and my dad's love for the Packers.
Gary Martinsen
Jerry not being in Hall is a joke

Not only was Jerry a great football player, but as far as I know He has never caused scandal as so many well known people do. As far as I know Jerry has never been so "full of himself that he never noticed anyone but himself". He's a person that I am glad I knew so many years ago.

Jerry Kramer belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame, period! The entire starting Packer offensive line from 1960 through the 1967 Superbowl II belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame!
It is far past the time to induct Jerry Kramer into the NFL Hall of Fame!
Thank you.
Johnny Parker
Jerry Kramer absolutely deserves to be in the PFHOF class of 2018! This is long overdue! Today, Jerry is still a vital part of preserving not only the history of the game but also giving his unique wit and wisdom to a new generation of fans about the future of the game as well. Let's make this the year that Jerry Kramer finally gets to his rightful place in canton!

The best pulling guard ever. Look at all of the pics of Jerry leading Hornung and Taylor. The Packer of that era would have been a different team without him. He should be in the HOF.
Blair Surkamer
Roll Model for Many!
John Petroutson
Belongs in Hall of Fame
Daniel P Anderson
Inducting Jerry Kramer into the Hall isn't a just a matter of honoring a former 'great' for his tremendous contributions. It's equally a matter of the Hall of Fame earning the credibility that justifies its existence. Without former players such as Jerry Kramer, the Hall is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt and its purpose is questionable.
Anonymous
Mr. Kramer is getting up in years, I believe he should be elected into the HOF before his time comes to an end.
I feel a great injustice is being done to this great player and human being. Let he and his family celebrate his selection into the HOF
before its to late.
William "Mike" May
PLEASE, let's continue with maximum effort to have Mr. Kramer "nominated" and "inducted" into the NFL Hall of Fame !!!!

Deserves to be in hall

In regard to performance, character, and representation, Jerry Kramer has been the model of excellence. He made his fans proud, his teammates proud, and Vince Lombardi proud. He earned respect and recognition around the league, and his articulateness and variety of remarkable skill sets have earned him respect and recognition in non-football contexts. His omission from the Pro Football Hall of Fame is incomprehensible.
James Marrichi
I watched the Packers battle my Colts as a boy. Jerry was a key part of incredaible Packer running game.
Bruce Paul Boettcher
In the 1960's there was no offensive guard that was better than Kramer. He was like a son to Lombardi and he played the game because he loved football. It wasn't about money. It was about just winning and dominating and that is what he did against his opponents. Domination! Be fair and give the man the serious respect he deserves. Every NFL fan should read Instant Replay! Cheers to Kramer! A football legend! Bruce Boettcher United States
Dave Kinsman
Jerry is one of the most Iconic Packers in NFL History! With all his accomplishments he is the Most deserving of any NFL player!
Wally Meyer
Jerry deserves this honor.
Joshua Voight
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. It's really quite simple. The NFL believes he was one of the best players in the league's first 50 years and of the 1960's. Stop ignoring him in favor of lesser players. Make it happen. He also happens to be a true gentleman in person.
Kathryn Schulz
This honor is sooooo overdue. Started watching the Packers with my Dad in the 60s. Jerry was everything to that team.

Jerry Frank
Please explain why Jerry Kramer is not in? How many awards, how many All Pro teams, how many HOF players must say he should be in? Don't say because to many Packers from the 60's team are in. There is a reason why they won so many championships in 7 years. I've met and talked with Mr. Kramer several times all he talks about is the quality of the people he played with and against. His love of the game. He's one of the best ambassadors of pro-football and if you don't believe me go to one of his presentations, listen to what he has to say, then tell us he isn't deserving of the HOF. Please do the right thing while Mr. Kramer is still able to make it. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully Jerry Frank.

Jerry Kramer is one of my heroes. Growing up and watching Jerry play was an inspiration for me to play football. I have always been a Packer fan and when I found out that my father-in-law played high school football with Jerry I was awestruck, My son will be playing football in a D1 college and Jerry has inspired my son. Denying Jerry his rightful place and personage in the Hall of Hall is a travesty to a man who has been an asset and ambassador to the entire game of football, not only the players, coaches, and teams, but to the fans, to the young boys who play football in little league, optimist, school and who dream of one day playing on the field for a college, or aspiring to the NFL. These ambassadors, who inspire generations, need to be championed and heralded as the legends they are. Jerry Kramer is that legend, that dominating hero who's soft spoken gift of tireless work, dedication and inspiration, the game of football will sorely miss someday. Please don't make that someday too long, Jerry deserves to hear the words and be welcomed into the Hall of Fame where so many of this team mates already are. In closing, the only words I can say are "Jerry deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, He's worked his entire life for it" Thank you.
Chad Nowak
Its about time this Packer great goes home...the Pro Football HOF.

Mr Kramer was an amazing football player. And is an amazing person to this day. He is the standard for football, then and now. The HOF of fame is not complete without him.

The continued omission of one of the greatest guards to play the game only serves to cheapen the selection process and weaken the prestige of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and its selections.
David Carew
Dear Senior Selection Committee:
It's 3rd and goal at the one-inch line. The temperature is 13 degrees below zero. 16 seconds on the game clock. Your third straight NFL Championship is on the line. Your quarterback has just suggested a play to your legendary coach. So "let's run the damn play and get the hell outa here!"
The play that must be run is NOMINATE JERRY KRAMER FOR ELECTION TO THE HALL OF FAME!! Not only did Jerry Kramer make the block that delivered the Green Bay Packers to their third consecutive NFL Championship in one of the premier games in NFL history, he is one of the best guards to ever play the game. Following his football career, he has been instrumental in bringing new audiences of varied interests and demographics to the NFL.
I believe in Jerry so strongly I have joined a nationwide effort named Jerry Kramer for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As we ask people to support Jerry’s nomination, more and more become incredulous asking, “Jerry Kramer is NOT in the Hall? That’s incredible and wrong!” We have 14 Pro Football Hall of Famers saying that Jerry should be in. We have hundreds of sportswriters and thousands of fans who support him.
Jerry may have been a nominee of the Senior Committee previously. This time there is huge, grass roots support all over the country supporting his nomination and election. Please make Jerry Kramer the Senior Nominee and watch him be elected overwhelmingly. NFL sports fans all over the United States will cheer loudly and join the festivities in Canton!
Jerry Kramer was not only a 5-time All Pro Bowl Guard and selected to the Pro Bowl 3 times, he was one of the premier guards of his generation and era in the NFL. Your own Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee named Jerry to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1960s. He is the ONLY player on the NFL 50th anniversary team not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That era saw some of the greatest running backs in football history: Paul Hornung, Jim Tayl
Richard Walker
Long over due. I understand the back log the Hall has, but to ignore Jerry's
accomplishments is shameful.
Scott Tubbs
I believe Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Paul Bodi
For anybody who watched the NFL in the late '50s and decade of the '60s, this is a travesty, and it's obvious the HOF senior selection committee is now made up of people who never saw Jerry play or don't have a clue as to his impact on the game. The archaic way the NFL honors its greatest is even more maddening. Jerry should have been enshrined 40 years ago. Let's correct this once and for all.
Steven J. Lefebvre
Kramer has deserved this honor for a long time, How you inducted other linemen before him is a total mystery to me.
Doug Yeager
I grew up with the Lombardi Packers. Jerry Kramer is aa deserving of a place in the NFL HOF as any man now enshrined.
Please realize that this situation needs to be corrected now...it's the fitting and proper thing to do by the HOF.

Absolutely shocking that #64 isn't already in the HOF.
Randi Johnson Hanson
High time this man was given the honour he deserves!!!! #64RULES
Michael R Stewart
The biggest mistake, the all 50th team, the only player not in the Hall, terrible, and according to Lombardi himself, the best guard
Josh Scrafford
Until Jerry Kramer is included, the Hall of Fame will not represent what they should. Kramer was the best ever at his position and his being on the all-century team for all players and positions lets everyone know the at the Hall of Fame does not represent the best players in the history of the game like it is meant to.
Marty boren
He needs to be in the hall of fame
Michelle Dahlby
Mr. Kramer more than deserves this spot in Canton. He is a leader on and off the field, a humanitarian, and a true great in the legacy of the NFL. It's long past time. Do the right thing and open the door for 64.
David Watson
What ya waiting for? Waiting for him to die before he gets In? If it wasn't for his block in the frozen tundra, star doesn't get in and packers don't win.
Fred Schmidt
Someone please explain to me why this man is not in the HOF?
Jeff lemke
Jerry has more than proved himself if it wasn't for his blocking an hustle Paul Hormuz would have never gained those yards do the right thing put the man in the hall

It is incredible to me that you can be named to the First team of the first 50 years of the NFL and still not be in the HOF. I don't care how many of his teammates have been elected to the Hall. It is an individual honor. Do the right thing, at long last, put this man where he belongs.
Todd Vieth
Without a doubt this man BELONGS in the hall. Awesome player and very nice man! Go Jerry!

Please add Jerry Kramer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His career was well deserved of a spot in Canton.

Jerry Kramer needs to be in the HOF!
Nathan Plitzuweit
A football team is only as good as the guys protecting the QB and blocking for the RB's. With that said, Mr. Kramer was a major complement of the Lombardi Packers championship teams. His nomination in the NFL's 50th Anniversary All-Time team should not be taken lightly.
John Schurman

This has afforded me the opportunity to be around many skilled NFL executives and former players. I have yet to find one that does not believe Jerry Kramer should be in the NFL HOF. It is time to elect Jerry.
Elbert Burley
Got to see him play in person,A great Player, Hope he gets in. Way long over do.

He belongs in for the Ice Bowl alone. This is a travesty.
Massimo Salomoni
He was a great player, he is a great person!
Kevin Hughes
Make note of this, because I'm a Bears season ticket holder and even I know he belongs in the Hall
Chris Thomas
Would love to see Jerry in he already is a HOFer in everyone's mind so lets celebrate this man while he is still here with us there is no way this wouldn't mean more to anyone else other than him.
John Moton
My father gave me Jerry's book, Instant Replay when I was 8 years old in 1974. It made the biggest impression on me, I thought about the lessons learned from that book throughout high school and college.. He taught me what it meant to be a man. Jerry is the #1 player in my Hall of Fame already. He's my hero. I'm so glad 40 years later that he shared his story with me.
Anthony Kamnick
I have been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and I have vowed never to return until Jerry Kramer has been enshrined. I have been a Packer fan my entire life and I am grateful that I was able to see the 60s Packers play.
Vince Lombardi the man that the Super Bowl Trophy is named for once said Jerry Kramer is the greatest right guard in professional football!
Green Bay fans everywhere need to get behind this!
Brian Healy
Jerry Kramer absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!!!!
Greg Little
NFL HOF get this great player into the Hall BEFORE he passes away. If he has to wait til 2020 (per what I'm reading now) shame on you! I watched him as a kid in WI and I'm 60 now...what is the deal with the selection committee???
Michael Masiello
I was watching the HOF ceremony last night on ESPN and thought about Jerry Kramer. He deserves to get in to hall. A great member of many great teams. Sad the he has waited this long.
Tom Brennan
A mind-numbing omission.
Mike O'Shaughnessy
Jerry Kramer is a class act. Its a no brainer for him to be in the hall but for the life of me they snub him. Please honor this man before he passes on. You will proud to have him. He helped make the NFL what it is today. The fans will love it.
Rich Risow
Kramer was an instrumental player in the Packers' early NFL titles and Super Bowl wins. He has been a class act the entire time and is what the NFL should be about. Do not tarnish the Pro Football Hall of Fame by not inducting Jerry Kramer. I run into him occasionally in Green Bay and he always makes time to talk to you and shake your hand.
Anonymous
You're the only ones who can make this happen, there are guys who are far less deserving that are in the Hall.
Let's get serious!
Bob Fallona
Kramer was a six-time All-Pro (five first-team honors) at right guard and also went to three Pro Bowls. No. 64 was also on the NFL All-Decade team for the 1960s.
In addition to all that, Kramer was also a member of the NFL's 50th anniversary team in 1969. Kramer is the only member of that team not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Michael Killian

William J Kraemer
He has better metrics than other guards in the HOF.

I grew up in Wisconsin during the Packers "Glory Years" and Jerry Kramer was a key ingredient of the Lombardi dynasty. I have written several times to the Hall of Fame requesting that Jerry Kramer be inducted as he richly deserves.
Terry Steele
It would be a long time coming
Tom Schroeder
I grew up watching the Packers dominate the NFL in the 60's. Jerry Kramer was a household name who embodied the desire; determination; dedication to pursue excellence. I played right guard varsity high school football 2 years 75/76 and we ran the power sweep. If I recall I ran my part just like Jerry Kramer! O'l 64!!! He belongs in Canton.
ERVIN V PETERS
It is and has been a travesty that Jerry Kramer is not in the NFL Hall of Fame. He should be recognized for his talent, accomplishments, and career and not be excluded because he was a Green Bay Packer.
richard champlin
Reading his book as a child is what made me a football fan, a Packer fan and a Kramer fan all my life. How many fans did he create for the game by writing a book?
Kelli Webber
He was a key blocker for Hall of Famers Bart Starr and Jim Taylor. He was the leverage of Lombardi’s patented sweep play. He was a first-team All-Pro guard five times and second-team once. He was named one of the two guards on the NFL’s 50th-year anniversary team.
A Norby Morfin
In my humble opinion, some of the most exciting football ever played was when Jerry Kramer was part of the great Green Bay Packers team! He deserves induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Consider all that he accomplished during his pro career. The list is long. Give Kramer what he earned!
~A Norby Morfin
Le Nora Geenen
It is a shame that he has not already been given this honor.
Frannie Stamp
It is unbelievable that Jerry Kramer is not in the hall of fame.he was simply the very best guard in the NFL for a DECADE 5 time ALLPRO FIRST team was the guard that was the lead blocker for GB power sweep that put Starr, Taylor, Hornung in Hall of Fame plus 5time world champs. Why or how could a voter NOT vote for Kramer? I am astounded, look at his resume and accomplishments maybe younger voters dont realize how good this guy was.
Anonymous
How many other offensive linemen can most people even name ? Especially from half a century ago. He belongs in.
Patrick A Brown
Way passed due for a worthy football legend!
John Snyder
Never could understand why Kramer wasn't in on the first ballot. Ir's long overdue to correct this error. Billy Shaw and Joe D are in and#64 isn't? IMO he was better than both. If Vince was alive he would have raised hell about this!
Paul Delvaux
It's time to make things right. Put Jerry Kramer in the Hall of Fame!
john S buchanan
it will be a sad day if he doesn't make it with the likes of T.O. and R. moss to possibly get in!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kramer at Lambeau Field last year. He told me stories of his time with the Packers and his experiences with Mr. Lombardi. I get so frustrated every year I see the HOF list come out and his name is missing. I believe this must be the year that he receives the acknowledgement so richly deserved. There would be no sweep without #64, The HOF voters need to enshrine him this year, and not fall victim to the "there are too many Lombardi era Packers in the Hall already" mentality. He was so much better than some of the linemen already inducted and it is a disservice to the Hall that he is overlooked.

It doesn't take much of a student of the game to know that Jerry is a HOFer. Jerry's impact on the game not only through his play but his leadership in helping former players has truly shown that you can't tell the NFL story without Jerry Kramer. That is HOF material in my book
Please vote for Jerry Kramer to inducted into the Hall of Fame. It is because of awesome men like Jerry that the NFL is what is it today. He is more than just a great football player, he is a great man that make all of Packer nation proud !! He deserves to be in the Hall so please acknowledge him for his contributions on and off the field. The time is way overdue so please give all the fans what they want, a chance to see a great football player, a great spokesperson of the game and more importantly a great man that truly deserves to be inducted. Warmest Regards, Dean Pesare
I agree whole heartly with you Greg. Jerry should have been in the HOF 20 years ago. LETS RIGHT A WRONG HOF!!!
Jerry deserves in!
There is no valid reason for Jerry not being in the PFHOF. Simple as that.
His team dominated to the extent that it would justify electing the team. The packer sweep was so dominant due to jerry kramer.
The argument that there are too many Lombardi era Packers already in the HOF isnt valid. If the stats say he should be i - HE SHOULD BE IN
The argument that there are too many Lombardi era Packers already in the HOF isnt valid. If the stats say he should be i - HE SHOULD BE IN
Most deserving non- elected HOF who ever played the game - and a GREAT guy
At a time when so many past NFL players lobby for a place among the NFL shrine, Mr. Kramer has remained above such frivolity. His career stands equal to or surpasses many who are now currently enshrined in Canton. Having lived in Canton my entire life, and having been a Packers fan when I was a child, I support the effort to get Mr. Kramer his rightful place in the Hall. As the previous entry states, #64 of the Green Bay Packers should have been in the Hall 20 years ago.
I was really surprised to find out that Jerry Kramer is not already in the Hall. I just assumed that he was. He's obviously one of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history, and he deserves the nod.
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in a hall of fame jacket!
All the best achieving this fast!
There is no way that Jerry Kramer should not be in the hall of fame .. Soon Please
figure it out. Put Jerry in Canton.
No one else is more deserving of this honor than Jerry Kramer
It's Time!!!!
What are we waiting for? After he's dead will be tragically too late. He's one of the greatest players of all time and from what I'm told a really great guy as well.
The greatest travesty in professional sports. Jerry Kramer belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Jerry Kramer also served as the team's place kicker in 1962, 1963, and part of 1968. As a kicker, he kicked 29 field goals, 90 extra points, for a total of 177 points. He also kicked 3 field goals and 1 extra point in the Packers 16-7 victory over the New York Giants in the 1962 NFL title game..
Just get it done. Jerry belongs in the hall of fame.
Jerry was a key figure in the signature play for the Packers of the 1960's: the power sweep. He was also a key figure in the play that won the ice Bowl: Starr's QB sneak. I had the chance to meet him a couple times and found him to be very warm and affable. He clearly deserves this honor.
Jerry Kramer was also on the NFL all decade team of the 1960's. He should have been elected to the NFL Hall of Fame 40 years ago!!!
It's a shame this has not happened for such a great player and person. Lets get this done and right the wrong. Loved watching him and the Packers as a kid growing up
Jerry should have been in hall 30 yrs ago
outstanding football player on perhaps the best ever NFL team
It's ridiculous and insulting that this classic, outstanding, accomplished class act of a player STILL isn't in the HOF. Maybe it's not game stats but his great books were an inspiration to kids back then to get interested in Pro Football.
I have read Instant Replay every year at the beginning of football season. I has never failed to motivate me. I wore his number in high school and college in tribute to him. His recognition by the Hall of Fame is sorely overdue.
No one deserves to be in the Hall of Fame next year than Jerry Kramer. What are you waiting for? He should have been inducted years ago!
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the rest of his team mates. Jerry was one of the toughest and best guards to play the game. Jerry is a great ambassador for the Green Bay Packers and Pro Football. Get him in the hall where he belongs.
You can't have a true and honest Hall of Fame without Jerry.
This is a travesty.. why isn't Jerry in the HOF?
This is LONG overdue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Love you Jerry.
This is becoming a joke! How much more does one football player need on his resume to be in the HALL OF Fame. Give Jerry Kramer his rightful place in HOF.
Great success, great role model, great athlete
The longer Jerry is left out, the more of a joke the Hall becomes. Every living Packer in the Hall should ask to have their name remove from the Hall. Teams stick together and Packet greats need to stand together and stick it to the Hall!
Maybe a short video posted on youtube or facebook will help get the word out about all Jerry's acomplishments .
This needs to get done.
Jerry deserves to be in the hall. I can't stand the Packers but it's a crime that Kramer is not in the hall.
Native New Englander and Pats fan, but the first sports book I ever read was Kramer's Instant Replay. I was hooked on the game after reading that and became a lifelong fan of the game and admirer of Lombardi's Packers. Jerry Kramer belongs on that HOF O-Line as much as John Hannah. He personifies the definition of winner and perseverance. He deserves this honor now, while he is on this earth.
Jerry Kramer was the best pulling guard I ever saw. Taylor and Hornung would not be in the HOF without the blocking of Thurston and Kramer.
The absence of Kramer detracts from the Hall and makes selection look arbitrary or happenstance. Selected to the all first 50 yr team but not to the hall?
Had the privilege of meeting Mr. Kramer at the alumni tailgate party prior to the Seahawks game a dedicated Packer icon.
Watched Jerry play as a kid - he succeeded on every play with every assignment - he was and still is today our teacher when it came to perseverance. Jerry's performance and character on and off the field are what the HOF is all about. Thanks, from me and my boys Jerry and God bless.
The true Football Hall Of Fame is in the hearts and minds of every fan, player, coach and owner of the game...and there, Jerry has been, since he we first saw him play. Thanks Jerry and God bless.
Let's put up the good fight for Mr. Jerry Kramer to be in the HOF....it's not really a HOF without him.
I was able to watch him in most of those years
I read Kramer's books in the 7th Grand and wore #64 in his honor in both high school and college. How can he be included on the 50 year team and be the only one not in the Hall? It is a travesty!
Should have been in years ago.
Jerry clearly belongs in the HOF. The fact that he is the only member of the NFL's 50th anniversay team not in the HOF is ridiculous . He clearly is being railroaded for some reason.
He should be in the Hall of Fame! No question!
It's a shame that this man has been overlooked for so long
He is without a doubt one of the greatest guards in the history of the game, The other is Fred Thurston. Mr. Kramer was an idol and a magnificent example to boys like myself during his tenure with Green Bay. Leaving Jerry Kramer and Fred Thurston out of the Hall of Hall just leaves two vital vacancies to a great Team of members. Please install them both.
Jerry should be in the NFL Hall of Fame
One of the greatest guards to ever play the game and a true gentleman. A super ambassador for the NFL. We need more like him now.
Put Jerry in the HOF. He is a true ambassador of the sport & was a HOF player. We met Jerry in Radio row @SB50 He took the time to sign for the kids & all fans. What a great memory we got from a true legend.
Medical miracle and true gentleman. In an era of police reports and NFL players, we need Jerry.
how can anyone be in the hof if he is not. He played in a pick up basketball game at his hs in 1961. all 110 pounds of me bumped into him, and he picked me up with one hand.
To a great player and a great writer of the game.
Why hasn't he already been in? I'm confused!
It is ridiculous that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. The latest old timer selection, also an offensive lineman, does not have the stats the Kramer has. It is only because they do not want so many Packers from that era. Besides his stats, his book Instant Replay had a great influence on many from my generation. I read that even Roger Goodell was shocked that he was NOT in the Hall of Fame. You should be ashamed of this slight. Make the Hall of Fame complete and put Jerry Kramer in. Do the right thing.
Why is not in the hall of fame??? Last night I watched the 8 that made it into the hall of fame and I believe he did more that over half of your men that you inducted in this year! My husband said of course he was in the hall of fame! He was shocked when I told him no and why!!
I read his autobiography when I was 15 and it had just come out. That very well might have led to my being one of the first 10 females in newspaper sportswriting. Give the man his (over)due credit.
This great player and writer of the game should be in the Hall of Fame. Let's get him now and posthumously.
delete This great player and writer of the game should be in the Hall of Fame. Let's get him now and not posthumously.
If Jerry Kramer is left out of Hall of Fame, you have diminished everyone else in it. Come on guys.
Saw him play many times and it is a joke & conspiracy by NFL not to induct him into HOF
Gross injustice that Kramer is rejected by a group of " sportswriters" who never saw him play. As the guys he faced if he should be in the HOF.... There ,within, you will find your answer to his worthiness.
It's time, induct him he deserves to be recognized!
It has been a long standing travesty that Jerry has not been recognized at the ultimate level in professional football. This needs to be rectified today
One of the all time greats, enshrine him while he can still attend the induction ceremony
Jerry is long over due for the Hall of Fame. The comments that there are too many of Lombardi's players on the Hall is ridiculous - if they deserve it - put them on!
I have been a Jerry Kramer fan since I was in 5th grade - a LONG time ago! He was my hero then, and I still admire him and want him in the Hall of Fame!!
Jerry should be in the PF HOF for his outstanding athletic and impact on the game of football as a player in the 1960s. He also has contributed to contribute to football as an outstanding ambassador of the game and helped a lot of people to love the game and has inspired others by his great story telling and passion.
This man deserves to be in the H.O.F. his career stats are beyond amazing. Let's me this happen before it's to late. #64KramerHOF! #Team64Kramer4Life!
I think it's a shame that this man is not in the hall of fame. and i think it does football a great injustice as a hole along with everyone involved.
He should be there
its a crying shame that the best oline man in pro football history is not in the pro football hall of fame
Time for this to happen.
This is a no Brainer and should have happened long ago. Other offensive linemen getting in ahead of Jerry is a disgrace, Dierdorf, let's do what'she right, Ice Bowl Baby.
C'mon Man!!!
Jerry Kramer was part of my youth and admiration for the Packers. He was a workhorse and with his work ethic and intrigity, he should hands down be part of the NFL Hall of Fame.
It is inconceivable that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame! This is,a disgrace that is LONG overdue being rectified.
who did he piss off
5 time all-pro. Member of the Packer Hall of Fame, NFL 50th Anniversary Team, NFL 1960s All Decade Team, won 5 NFL championships. What more did he have to do to earn an invite to Canton? All but one of the 50th Anniversary team is in the HOF and that's Jerry Kramer. That's a crime.
He should be in. Absolute joke that he isn't.
Jerry Kramer belongs in the National Football Hall of Fame and every Green Bay Packer Fan around the world should be yelling from the mountain tops to get this wonderful induvial into the Hall of Fame. For him not to be in there with his teammates is a disgrace to the Packer and the NFL. If somehow he gets in there after he dies, that would be a travesty and the NFL voters ought to be ashamed of themselves.
WTF!! NFL Will Shields before JK?
A true Packer great and leader on a team that began the modern era of what football is today.
he should of been in a long time ago
It is totally crazy that Jerry Kramer is not already in the Hall of Fame. Don't delay! He deserves to be voted in right away!
Three-time Pro Bowler Six-time All-Pro Selection Five World Championships 60's All-Decade team NFL 50th Anniversary Team WTF more does a player need to do!!
His accomplishments during his 10 year career and support from his peers says it all. Jerry Kramer without a doubt should be and needs to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
With all of Jerry's accomplishments he deserves to be recognized by induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!!
Needs to finish to great packer 60's legacy
only man from nfl 50 anniversary teamnot in HOF what an injustice!!!
How a man with so many accomplishments and also founding a charity organisation such as Grid Iron Greats can be treated with such disdain is beyond me and it will be a travesty if he does not go in.
I hope this happens in Jerry's lifetime.
Jerry Kramer was and always will be an inseparable link to the Packer Sweep. He played at a high level through injuries and for the most demanding coach in NFL history. Kramer is worthy of a place in the Hall of Fame
An all time great Guard. Should have been inducted decades ago.
I would like one of the senior committee members to tell the truth as to why Mr. Kramer has not been selected to the HOF. What excuse could they possibly come up with? The "Too many Lombardi era players" excuse is a complete joke. Put #64 in already before he is gone and enjoy it.
Should have been in years ago. Lets not wait like Stabler and Stanfel and put him in after he's passed on and can't enjoy it.
It's a travesty that Kramer isn't in the hall. The voters show a complete lack of common sense by letting it go this long. There is absolutely no justification for his exclusion. With Kramer's credentials, how can the Hall snub him and expect to have any credibility. PUT KRAMER IN CANTON!!!
Jerry was one of the best guards ever. Hes earned the right to be in the Hall. And he accomplished alot more than say, Warren Sapp, who won one super bowl , and had how many arrests? Sapp shouldn't be in the Hall. Jerry Kramer should be.
The exclusion of Jerry Kramer from the Pro Football HOF is inexcusable and decades overdue! This man was named the outstanding guard in the history of the NFL as far back as 1969! An all time great and a first class human being. The NFL channel even lists him as the #1 overlooked candidate for the HOF that has never been enshrined as of a show broadcast on the NFL network titled "Top 10 Players Not In the HOF".
Deserving of the honor !!
Jerry Kramer's selection to the NFL HOF is long overdue
Definitely one of the Packer greats and epitomized what Green Bay Packers football was all about.
I cannot believe that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. Besides his accomplishments, he was a lynchpin of the green bay sweep which is one of basic plays of football. Jerry was from a era where football players were looked up to and for good reason. I am 35 yr deputy sheriff who has had to deal with the football players of today in situtations where their behavior, atitude and actions were deplorable ,in fact arrests were made. I cannot believe he is not there yet this is reason why NFL popularity is wanning .
Jerry was my hero during my high school and college football career. He and Fuzzy Thurston were the keys to the famous Packers power sweep which was the scurge of the NFL. He definitely needs to be elected into the hall of fame.
He deserves to be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame. Just get it done while he is still with us and is able to enjoy it.
It's time!
I first read "Instant Replay" when I was about 12 years old. I still consider it my favorite NFL book. I don't remember much about his playing career, but you can't argue with his stats. He belongs in the HOF.
it is a travesty that this man has not been elected to the H O F
He was one of the best guards ever and they had to block back in the day not grab jerseys
And a great partner at TPC Sawgrass in the 80's
With all due respect. I am begging you to not forget about Jerry Kramer. He truly deserves entry. The Legendary Vince Lombardi even said he was the best Guard in the NFL. How could you argue with that? All 50th Anniversary team. Only one not inducted? Wow. Please be the brave ones to simply vote him in. Thank you very much.
If he is in the NFL top 50 he should be in the hall
should have been in as soon as was eligible to be.....
let's do this
Put him in now!!?
He needs to be in.
How can a player be named the best guard of the first 50 years of the nfl and not be in the hall of fame?
It's time!!!
Jerry deserves to be in the Hall of Fame more than most other players from that era!
This is long overdue for someone who achiveved so much and has contributed so much to the game. He is much more deserving than many others considered recently
It is beyond ridiculous he's not in the hall.
Jerry Kramer and Cliff Branch are the biggest pro football HOF snubs. Get them on the seniors ballot for 2018 while they are alive to enjoy it with their families. When Stabler (along with Favre and others) went in last year, it was sad to see that Stabler wasn't there to enjoy his day. Don't let that happen to Jerry!
Jerry Kramer is why I wore number 64 in high school
this is a joke put jerry in
Please look at Jerry Kramer again for the honor of the Hall of Fame, before he dies. He is 81 and I hope still in good health. Think of how hard it was for any man to be on the offensive line for 11 years, back in the day. Please consider him for the Hall of Fame. 2/9/2017
I can't believe one of the 50th Anniversary Team is not in the Hall! Please induct Jerry in his lifetime.
Stunned to recently learn that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall. I remember his playing days well, and I always thought he would be a shoo-in based on his high visibility as a run blocker, especially. Correct this wrong before he passes.
The biggest snub from the Hall of Fame in my opinion.
He deserves it and then some.
An honor that needs to be bestowed on one of the greatest!
It is past time to honor this wonderful player and man.
Fortunate to watch Jerry Kramer play for GB since 1961. He should be in Canton Hall of Fame.
Long overdue. Hope this petiton can help right the wrong done to Jerry.
Please put Jerry in the HOF. He deserves it. Thank you.
Thank you for making this happen. Jerry Kramer was the reason I played guard in high school and is the reason I am a devout Packers fan. Please get him in the HOF!
I'm shocked and disturbed that Jerry Kramer is not in the HOF. Why have a HOF at all if a guy like Kramer can't make it 'in' with all his credentials. Please right this wrong during this legend's lifetime.
HE BELONGS
It is crazy that Jerry is not in the Hall of Fame. I grew up watching this guy and the facts speak for themselves.
I am a lifelong Packer fan and recall the Lombardi years. Jerry Kramer belongs in the Hall of Fame for what he did on the field and for his wonderful book "Instant Replay". His book not only gave the fan a view inside the world of the great Green Bay Packer pro-football team but offered many life lessons about teamwork, dedication, success and failure that made an indelible impression on me as a young teen and have stayed with me throughout my life. Jerry, you are a Hall of Famer in my book and I thank you for all you've done. With thanks,
Jerry Kramer should be in the HOF, hands down. No more discussion, elect him
Makes absolutely no sense. Even if you never saw all the tapes, Jerry was an anchor of a great offensive line. Don't get it...but hopefully will be fixed in his lifetime!
So deserving. Please -while he's still with us thank you
Best lineman on one of the best teams ever
Rooted against him for years, but the man was a stud and definitely deserves in!! Long overdue!
What a travesty!!! Put Jerry in already.
Jerry Jones, Terrel Davis HOF ??? Put Jerry in...he EARNED IT!
How can he NOT be in the the HOF THis is a wrong that must be corrected
Do the right thing. Go Pack Go.
You're literally high if you think he doesn't belong. Every writer that doesn't vote for Kramer needs a swift kick to the groin and to be fired from whatever worthless football related job they have. And that's all I have to say about that.
Way over due. First two Super Bowls wouldn't have been won without Jerry!
He should have been in the HOF at least 30 years ago. There was no better guard in his time.
Packer Owner - he is fully deserving
Kramer deserves his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
This is an unforgivable omission by the Hall voters. They need to fix this.
Please put Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His statistics and championships won have earned him the right into the Hall. Many players have been enshrined with lesser stats, championships, and admiration of fans. Jerry is also an incredible human being and represents the type of character you look for in an enshrinee. Please induct him before it is too late. He deserves to be alive and on stage to give his induction speech. He has given his life and his body to this game. Thank you Ryan VanAcker
Mr. Kramer IS NFL royalty! His career with the legendary Green Bay Packers ALONE should give a place in the Hall of Fame.
HOF get your collective heads out of you butt and vote Jerry Kramer into the hall. This man flat our deserves it over many that you have voted in over the years.
Life long Viking fan here. I hate the Packers. I respect Jerry. He belongs in Canton.
Please get Jerry Kramer the recognition he deserves and induct him into the hall of fame. Thank you on behalf of me and my father and my grandfather who all believe in him. Sincerely, Julia Price
One of the best. ...he belongs. ...make it so.........
Grew up in WI in the Packer Glory Days. Jerry Kramer one of the best.
I watched Jerry during the 60's and it's absolutely ridiculous that he didn't make the hall of fame decades ago.
Please vote Mr. Kramer in. He deserves to be in. Mr. Kramer should be in & it's a crime that he isn't, and in the immortal words of Vince Lombardi " What the hell is going on out here". Truer words were never spoken. Please vote Jerry in while he's still alive to enjoy it. We the football fans demand this!
Not a Packer fan, but FB fan, and cannot believe Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame. Shane on the voters. Shame.
Give the man the recognition he deserves!
Unbelievable that Mr. Kramer is not in the Hall with the rest of his teammates and the other greatest of the greatest. Long overdue in rectifying this abominable situation.
I have met Jerry twice a nicer man I have never met it is a crime he is not in the hall
I played guard in high school in 1966.I studied as much film on Kramer and watched as many Packer games as I could to study his techniques. He was the best all around guard of his era, and it is just wrong he is not in the hall of fame. Do not wait until he passes, please rectify this now!
Good luck Jerry!! #64 Go Pack Go
It's unbelievable that he's not in yet. Please, please, just vote him in. He most definitely deserves this!!
Obviously this is a terrible oversight. This needs both an "Instant Replay" and a "Distant Replay" two great books about football, and life, from Mr. Kramer. The Packers of this era broke the hearts of Baltimore Colt fans like myself many times. God bless you Mr. Kramer, the old NFL and your team mates who know how to be athletes on the field, and gentlemen off the field
He is one of the greatest players that has ever played the game...and with his heart in it.
Jerry Kramer is deserving. He has earned this. Please honor him, HOF.
This is LONG overdue. Please induct Jerry before he passes.
When I was a boy growing up in Jackson, MS in the 1950's, the only NFL team we regularly saw was Green Bay. That was great for me, my Dad and my brother because Green Bay was our favorite team. I played guard in Junior HS and loved to pull and trap players like Jerry did. Also when I moved to Chicagoland for my senior year in HS and had to play blocking fullback at 152 pounds, I had trouble getting to the defensive ends on a roll out. Then I realized I could step up and act like a pulling guard. I was so small I frequently wasn't seen. FYI, I was the starting fullback and blocked for a quarterback, Jim O'Toole who won the Knute Rockne award as the best prep player in Chicagoland. Jerry Kramer was my ideal guard then and continues to be to this day. Watching him, being inspired by him made me a better player and a better person.
An absolute travesty that Kramer is not already in the Hall of Fame. Let's get it right soon, so Jerry can speak at his enshrinement as opposed to others like Ken Stabler who, because he was deceased, did not get the opportunity to give a speech.
The biggest travesty of justice is not putting Jerry Kramer in the NFL Hall of Fame. Jerry is the ONLY player named to the NFL's 50th Anniversary Team not inducted into the NFL HOF!! It is time to right this travesty.
Jerry has to get in! So deserving!
As a long time Cowboys fan who remembers the old glory days of professional football, I find this snub incomprehensible. For the robe of Pete, please make Jerry Kramer a Hall of Famer!
No question, this man deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is one of the greatest of the Lombardi Packers, and it is a shame he is not in already.
Jerry Kramer is unquestionably one of the greatest offensive lineman of his era. The fact that he is not in the hall because of "too many Packers" is a travesty. How can he be voted to the 50 year all-time team and not be in?
I was shocked to learn that Jerry Kramer was not already in the Hall. What a travesty!
Mr Kramer clearly deserves induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There is no question this is long overdue
One of Lombardi's favourite players. Great guard on football's greatest team.
Starr, Taylor, Hornung are not in the HOF w/o 64! The other fact always over-looked: JK = Kicker - 177pts, come on. It's time HOF voters. Get it right !!!
Put a world class player where he belongs..Hall of Fame !!!!
Key player in the Green Bay offense, run and pass. One of two guards on the 50th Anniversary All NFL team and the only member of that team NOT enshrined. It is beyond stupid he is not in there.
To say that Jerry Kramer has been snubbed by the HoF is a terrific understatement. The main reason the Packers of the 60's were so dominant was because of the o-line. All the other greats from that team were so because of the linemen.
Look at his career. How is he not in the Hall Of Fame? Baffling...
Unfathomable. Unbelievable. Travesty. To me, the HoF always represented the best. I grew up in the 60's. The Packer sweep was the signature play of the 60's. And Jerry Kramer led the way. Simply put, Jerry Kramer was the best player at his position during a period that saw the NFL explode in popularity. If the player chosen to be the best at his position in the first 50 years of the game is NOT in the Hall...then why have a Hall of Fame? Please bring justice to this travesty. And please do it before it's too late for the Kramer family to enjoy.
Jerry Kramer richly deserves a place in the Hall of Fame. His greatness has been endorsed by his football colleagues and peers. This is an injustice. Kramer was and remains a model of class and professionalism- and he was one of the best guards to ever play the game. Do the right thing.
Heavy Browns fan since 1950.....I am appalled that Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame...He belongs there; be has earned this seat in Canton; He is the face of the Packers during the 60's.......Please correct th
It is a joke that Jerry is not in
Jerry Kramer H.O.F.
Thanks so much for doing this. A slight of historic proportions. My favorite Jerry story is him kicking three field goals in the NFL championship that the Packers won 16-7. How many guards ever did that?
damn shame Jerry, fellow offensive lineman Bob Skoronski, Gale Gillingham and Boyd Dowler are not HOF. Now this piece of dog crap Owens is barking he should be there, no way.
This is simply the right thing to do. Don't over think it. Evaluate his play and get him into the HOF.
easily a HOFer
How Jerry Kramer is not in the Hall of Fame is beyond me. I've been an Eagles fan for over 50 years and saw Kramer play many times. There has never been a better lead blocker on a sweep than Kramer. Plus his book "Instant Replay" solidified ne as a fan of the game
Do the right thing!
The image of Jerry Kramer's block in the Ice Bowl, is as recognizable as the image of the American Flag being raised at Iwo Jima, He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
A very good man and friend. A crime he has not been inducted.
Mr. Kramer deserves to finally be in!
Well deserved!
A truly great football player! He deserves this honor.
Put Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame NOW.
Should easily be in the hall of fame!
About Time
I grew up watching Jerry Kramer play. I wore #64 because I wanted to be the best. Not having Mr. Kramer in the Hall of Fame diminishes the honor that the other inductees must feel.
Please let's get Jerry Kramer into Canton while he is still here to participate in the induction.
Jerry was awesome!
Jerry absolutely should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Please induct Jerry Kramer into the Hall of Fame.
Its long over due.
I grew up in the East and watched the ice bowl game, my father who followed sport mostly football and baseball knew who Cotton Barlow was. Green Bay is one of the teams I rout for always.
He should have been there a long time ago
You can, if you will
long over due!
Long overdue.
Former Sandpoint ID resident and support this petition
Please induct Jerry in the HOF. It is time.
Best pulling guard in NFL history and member of Packers, winners of Super Bowl #1 & Super Bowl #2.
The only member of the NFL's 50th Anniversary Team not it the Hall of Fame...come on selection Committee.
This man was one of the great players.....he deserves to be in the hall of fame!
Jerry Kramer was arguably one of the best guards in NFL history. It is a travesty that he is not in the HOF.
Long overdue
One of the greatest never to have been inducted yet. Is overdue.
This honor is long overdue. Let's give Jerry Kramer the accolades he so deserves!
The mans talents and love of the game is his ticket into the HALL
I was just reading in the Lewiston Morning Tribune about Jerry Kramer and was moved by the article. I want to add my name and my support to the idea that Jerry Kramer deserves to again be considered and appointed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has earned it.
Come on committee...Do the right thing and vote Jerry into the Hall of Fame where he belongs. It's long overdue!
best OG ever to play in the NFL.
I lived in Milwaukee when Lumbardi turned that team around. It was great being a fan. Jerry played his position as well as any other player on that team who is in Canton. I can remember Hornung or Taylor hanging on to the back of his shirt as they turned the corner. Correct the insult !
I watched Jerry and his block some odd 50 years ago in the ice bowl. He was the best right guard in the league. I also read Instant Reply when I was 16 years old. There is no reason that he should not be in the hall of fame for what he has accomplished in the NFL. How can he be named as a guard in the NFL 50th anniversary team and not be in the HALL. The people who elect the hall members need to get off their high horse and look at what Jerry has done. He deserves to be in. Please make this happen.
I've been a Kramer fan since 1963! So, yes I believe he should be in the Hall of Fame!
Jerry Kramer is very deserving of this award and it is long overdue.
I watched Jerry Kramer as I was contemplating playing football myself. He was an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others who may not have had the tools to be a running back or receiver, the positions that being the attention and accolades. I was a lineman through junior high, high school and college. It was inspirational to see a player that was a large part of the success of his team but didn't need the spot light. It is a shame that the man that gave as much to the game both on and off the field and inspired many people is not enshrined yet. Please right this tragic wrong.
This man is the most deserving player to be selected into this years NFL Hall of Fame
Long overdue
Way,way overdue for this honor!
A great man, a greater human being, a true treasure and a professional sports icon.
HE DEFINITELY DESERVES TO BE SELECTED INTO THE HF.
He deserves to be in
Jerry Kramer belongs in the NFL hall of fame with all the "Great" players from his era. This is long overdue. Put Jerry in the Hall of Fame because he deserves it.
I played HS and College football during the 60's; loved the Green Bay Packers, Fuzzy Thurston & Jerry Kramer my favorite players. My position was an offensive lineman (guard).
I saw a documentary where they named the top ten pro football players who have been overlooked for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Guess who was the number 1 most overlooked player. You guessed it: Gerry Kramer
North Idaho's finest!!!
Soooo overdue
who ever is responsible for electing hall of fame should get there head out of the sand and look at his record
Hi Jerry - I'm Duffy and Florence White's daughter - hope to see you again one day!!!!
He has earned it!!!
I am a Redskin fan but I followed Jerry Kramer throughout his career and have read his books. The fact that he is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame diminishes not him, but that shrine.
I was a 10 grader when Jerry was in 12. I was 3 rd string and he kicked the crap out of us every day. Needs to be in the hall..
Jerry Kramer greatest ever pulling guard in NFL history. MUST BE SELECTED TO HALL OF FAME!!!!
And the HOF even puts names like Terrell Owens on the list? Wjat a crime if this outstanding player of the ages is admitted. Then the HOG should be considered with the likes of the Rock & Roll HOF-a complete joke!!
We were Kramer';s neighbors for quite a number of years (Chalet Motel) .Can;t find better people. Jerry belongs in the Hall of Fame! Great guy - great player!
Dear HOF, don;t fall for the generational and statistical bias that comes with each new crop. The NFL of today was built on the shoulders of these early giants. Jerry Kramer was one of these. Put him in the Hall so you can salvage your credibility before it is too late.
One of the greatest guards to play the game. Equally good as a young man at the University of Idaho. Should be in the Hall of Fame.
He should have been inducted years ago. What a travesty!
"Assuming" is one of the worst mistakes a person can make...make it happen now!
His exemplary football career alone was enough to qualify him for the Hall long ago, but his off-field representation of the NFL in several books and many public appearances really seals the deal.
It is way past time for this to be done.
I watched him play at the University of Idaho..... followed him in the pro's playing for the Packers....his talent and achievements deserve to be recognized..... and placed in the Hall of Fame.
Voting Jerry Kramer in to the NFL Hall of Fame is not only a matter of fairness to one player but a matter of integrity for the Hall of Fame, who ought to include the finest players in the history of the NFL. To keep Jerry Kramer out is a travesty that long ago ought to have been rectified and now needs to be rectified for the sake of the game and the Hall of Fame. Thank you, Greg, for sponsoring this petition. I've been a Packer fan for some 60 years (I'm 65) because of Jerry Kramer and my dad's love for the Packers.
Jerry not being in Hall is a joke
As great as he was, he never forgot the rest of us, dropping by high school locker rooms during key games among champions to give encouragement.
one of the greatest
The induction of Jerry Kramer into the Hall of Fame is long overdue. It's an insult to Jerry and the Packers, as well as all the Packer fans.
Get 'er done!
He belongs, nothing else needs to be said.
I am stunned that he hasn't been inducted!! He was as tough as they come. Was always very proud of him. I am also from Sandpoint Idaho and Jerry always came back for his Reunions!
Let's Make It Happen!
Jerry Kramer HOF2018
Jerry Kramer is a superhero in football. Has been for decades. You know all the reasons he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Put him in THIS YEAR.
its unbelievable he's not all ready in there
Jerry Kramer's selection to the HALL is long overdue!
It is about time!
Open the doors to this Great player who represents the NFL with class.
One of the Greatest Packer players of all time
Long overdue!
YES--- He belongs in Canton along with his teammates. Not getting any younger!!
Jerry is most deserving.
Yes he should already be there as a pioneer of the pulling guard which is so prominent now.
Jerry Kramer's omission in the NFL Hall of Fame is the all time number one injustice in professional football. WHY....!
This Athlete from Sandpoint deserves this honor. Donna Foth
Go Jerry--it's about time for them to get it right!!
For all the reasons stated in the Sandpoint Daily Bee put Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Some of the modern day jerks of bad character do not need to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
This definitely needs to happen
As well as being an excellent NFL success he has exhibited a sound work ethic and sets a good example for players and non-players.
I'm originally from Sandpoint and I believe that Jerry Kramer exhibits all the hallmarks of a Hall of Famer. Make it happen!
Jerry should have had this honor along time ago. Was great player. I support this petition.
I saw my 1st Packer game when I was 13yo. I'm now 80yo. Jerry was the best! Go Pack Go!!
As a former Sandpoint HS Bulldog I played with Jerry an know his qualities as a football player and an out standing Human Being.
It is time for Kramer's induction!
Not only was Jerry a great football player, but as far as I know He has never caused scandal as so many well known people do. As far as I know Jerry has never been so "full of himself that he never noticed anyone but himself". He's a person that I am glad I knew so many years ago.
Hope Mr.Kramer get into the hall of fame.I watched many games he played in.
He should have been in the Hall along time ago. With all he's done it's a terrible oversight.
I think he is deserving of this honor and about time too!
It's been long enough. Far lesser talented people have been admitted, time to right this wrong.
Even Roger Goodell was surprised when he found out JERRY KRAMER was NOT in Canton! NO good reason on earth that JERRY KRAMER has been omitted from Pro football Hall of Fame!
Let Kramer in!!!! ❤
Go Vandals!
The Packer sweep would not have been successful without him and I doubt the Packers would not have won the Ice Bowl without his key block!
Deserving!!!!
Well deserved and long overdo recognition as one of the best players on the Packers.
Go Vandals!
We graduated in 1953 from SHS and attended U of I when Jerry played for the Vandals. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
He is among the best of the best ! There is a real wrong being done if he is not admitted. Poll the other HOF members !
Great Player Hope he gets in.
Greatest player to play his position in the history of the NFL
It's about time to give Jerry his due... 40+ years is to long to wait
It's actually an atrocity for Mr Kramer not to have been elected decades ago.Do the right thing and select him now.
Jerry Kramer belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame, period! The entire starting Packer offensive line from 1960 through the 1967 Superbowl II belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame! It is far past the time to induct Jerry Kramer into the NFL Hall of Fame! Thank you.
Jerry Kramer absolutely deserves to be in the PFHOF class of 2018! This is long overdue! Today, Jerry is still a vital part of preserving not only the history of the game but also giving his unique wit and wisdom to a new generation of fans about the future of the game as well. Let's make this the year that Jerry Kramer finally gets to his rightful place in canton!
Jerry Kramer, one of the all time greats!
It's a yes from me he surely deserves it
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the NFL Hall of Fame. It's long over due. After all he is one of the great ones. Please induct him, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Canton please open your door for 64.
Great player and great spokesman for football.
Mr. Kramer's record speaks for itself. It's outrageous that he is not in the HOF.
The best pulling guard ever. Look at all of the pics of Jerry leading Hornung and Taylor. The Packer of that era would have been a different team without him. He should be in the HOF.
Roll Model for Many!
Belongs in Hall of Fame
Inducting Jerry Kramer into the Hall isn't a just a matter of honoring a former 'great' for his tremendous contributions. It's equally a matter of the Hall of Fame earning the credibility that justifies its existence. Without former players such as Jerry Kramer, the Hall is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt and its purpose is questionable.
Mr. Kramer is getting up in years, I believe he should be elected into the HOF before his time comes to an end. I feel a great injustice is being done to this great player and human being. Let he and his family celebrate his selection into the HOF before its to late.
PLEASE, let's continue with maximum effort to have Mr. Kramer "nominated" and "inducted" into the NFL Hall of Fame !!!!
Deserves to be in hall
In regard to performance, character, and representation, Jerry Kramer has been the model of excellence. He made his fans proud, his teammates proud, and Vince Lombardi proud. He earned respect and recognition around the league, and his articulateness and variety of remarkable skill sets have earned him respect and recognition in non-football contexts. His omission from the Pro Football Hall of Fame is incomprehensible.
I watched the Packers battle my Colts as a boy. Jerry was a key part of incredaible Packer running game.
In the 1960's there was no offensive guard that was better than Kramer. He was like a son to Lombardi and he played the game because he loved football. It wasn't about money. It was about just winning and dominating and that is what he did against his opponents. Domination! Be fair and give the man the serious respect he deserves. Every NFL fan should read Instant Replay! Cheers to Kramer! A football legend! Bruce Boettcher United States
Jerry is one of the most Iconic Packers in NFL History! With all his accomplishments he is the Most deserving of any NFL player!
Jerry deserves this honor.
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. It's really quite simple. The NFL believes he was one of the best players in the league's first 50 years and of the 1960's. Stop ignoring him in favor of lesser players. Make it happen. He also happens to be a true gentleman in person.
This honor is sooooo overdue. Started watching the Packers with my Dad in the 60s. Jerry was everything to that team.
He has inspired so many in the UK and Ireland his legend transcends continents! HOF in our eyes!
No point in having a Hall of Fame if you don't include the very best and Jerry Kramer was the very best!
Get Jerry in the HOF
The greatest pulling guard of all time. Make this right!
It's high time for this Great to be Induced into Canton.
Jerry deserves this honor.
Please consider Mr Kramer for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Thanks
He should have been in years ago come on get a grip people.
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!! Thank you!!
Greetings to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee: it is time to induct Jerry Kramer into the Hall of Fame. Please do the right thing. Thank you very much for your consideration. Chris Carlsen
It is time to put the best guard in the 60's in the HOF.
Jerry Kramer should have been in the HOF years ago.
Let's get this DONE! The fact that he is still not in the HOF is almost criminal!
Why should great players be punished for having played on loaded teams? It's time for Jerry Kramer to be recognized as one of the greats
Jerry Kramer deserves and more than earned his spot in the HOF!!
Please explain why Jerry Kramer is not in? How many awards, how many All Pro teams, how many HOF players must say he should be in? Don't say because to many Packers from the 60's team are in. There is a reason why they won so many championships in 7 years. I've met and talked with Mr. Kramer several times all he talks about is the quality of the people he played with and against. His love of the game. He's one of the best ambassadors of pro-football and if you don't believe me go to one of his presentations, listen to what he has to say, then tell us he isn't deserving of the HOF. Please do the right thing while Mr. Kramer is still able to make it. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully Jerry Frank.
Way overdue
So well deserved and now is the time. Jerry was in so many pictures with Bart, Paul, Jimmy, and Donny because he helped them get where they were going. Please make this happen!
Absolute scandal of the great man isn't inducted!!!
JERRY KRAMER MADE THE PACKERS POWER SWEEP WORK for 5 NFL CHAMPIONSHIPS. JERRY HAS MORE HARDWARE- SUPER BOWL and NFL Championship RINGS than MOST of those INDUCTED IN CANTON!
Way past due
I am a forever Greenbay fan and think this man deserves this honor on so many levels!!
Less players have made it in. It's time for Jerry Kramer
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
I feel Mr Jerry Kramer is deserving of his place in the hall of fame. His accomplishments speak for themselves. There is no reason on God's green earth why he should not take his rightful place along with his fellow Packers teammates in the hall of fame. It's time to make it happen the man has been over looked for far too long and for reasons unfathomable to any right minded football fan. I implore you to make the right decision and induct Jerry Kramer into the hall of fame. Kind Regards John Doyle
Please do not overlook this outstanding football player and generous man!!!!
as good a roll model as ever was in the NFL.
Jerry Kramer ABSOLUTELY must be inducted into the football HOF. Please do the right thing.
GBP#64
Jerry Kramer has been overlooked for too long. It's time for him to get the credit & appreciation that he so richly deserves!!!
Would be criminal to overlook JK again. Fantastic player and role model.
It's a shame that it's taken this long to get Jerry Kramer in the HOF. He needs to be in the hall, it is well overdue.
Cmon HOF!!!
So deserving, it is a complete travesty he is not the Hall of Fame already. Fingers crossed this is the year!
This is long over due. I live in Canton and would love to see this happen. Truly glaring omission!
Why isn't this man in the HOF?
Open the DOOR for # 64
Jerry Kramer should definitely be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. He executed one of the greatest blocks as a lineman in the history of the game, to conclude the legendary "IceBowl game".
Let him in. It's been too long and such a shame he hasn't gotten in sooner. Give this hero the recognition he deserves.
It's been toooo long! put the man in...my Goodness!!!!!!!! he was the bomb ditty!
Put Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame immediately. Every year he is not in, diminishes the legitimacy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
LOOOOOOOONNNGG OVERDUE.
Its a disgrace not having Jerry in the Hall!
It's way beyond time
This needs to happen! Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the HOF!!
What is taking so long? The man has earned this.
Jerry Kramer is one of my heroes. Growing up and watching Jerry play was an inspiration for me to play football. I have always been a Packer fan and when I found out that my father-in-law played high school football with Jerry I was awestruck, My son will be playing football in a D1 college and Jerry has inspired my son. Denying Jerry his rightful place and personage in the Hall of Hall is a travesty to a man who has been an asset and ambassador to the entire game of football, not only the players, coaches, and teams, but to the fans, to the young boys who play football in little league, optimist, school and who dream of one day playing on the field for a college, or aspiring to the NFL. These ambassadors, who inspire generations, need to be championed and heralded as the legends they are. Jerry Kramer is that legend, that dominating hero who's soft spoken gift of tireless work, dedication and inspiration, the game of football will sorely miss someday. Please don't make that someday too long, Jerry deserves to hear the words and be welcomed into the Hall of Fame where so many of this team mates already are. In closing, the only words I can say are "Jerry deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, He's worked his entire life for it" Thank you.
Its about time this Packer great goes home...the Pro Football HOF.
Mr Kramer was an amazing football player. And is an amazing person to this day. He is the standard for football, then and now. The HOF of fame is not complete without him. How can the best guard in the first 50 years, not be in the Hall!!!? Please vote him in, you will not find a better ambassador for football than he!!
Mr. Kramer is what the Hall of Fame is. Greatness and humility, devotion and dedication. Make a place for him, before it is too late!!!! Not for him, but for us the fans!!!!!!!
Jerry Kramer needs to be in the HOF no questions asked ...
Why are we signing a petition for this? Give us, and the World, the reason he has not been inducted 30 years ago?
It is his time!
So sad he gets over looked all the time.
He was a super star. Did so much for our community, still love to see him. Such a gentleman
Let's please get Jerry a well deserved guard from the Lombardi era in the hall before its to late!
To the Senior Select Committee name me 2 other Names that are more qualified for the Hall of Fame.
Please put Mr. Kramer in the hall of fame he is so deserving !
Mr.Jerry Kramer Deserves to be in the NFL Hall of Fame!!! What is the NFL waiting for?? C'Mon Man
PUT THE MAN IN!!!!
Vote him in this is ridiculous he is not already in!
We love Mr. Jerry Kramer. How he played here in Titletown, USA, how he conducted himself on and off the field. A true Champion.
Put him in!
Please elect Jerry Kramer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is long overdue.
He may be the best pulling guard, ever.
Please! Open you door for Number 64!!
This is insane! What is the reason why Mr. Kramer hasn't been selected by now?
Jerry Kramer not being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is an absolute joke.
Just ask John Madden if Jerry Kramer should be in the Hall.
Voters, please do the right. It time to correct the mistakes of the past.
Long overdue!
Jerry Kramer should be voted into the Hall of Fame. Regards Bruce Brown
It's long overdue, please let Mr. Kramer in.
Beyond time for 64 to get in. Go Pack Go!
Let's get Jk in!!!!
The continued omission of one of the greatest guards to play the game only serves to cheapen the selection process and weaken the prestige of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and its selections.
Dear Senior Selection Committee: It's 3rd and goal at the one-inch line. The temperature is 13 degrees below zero. 16 seconds on the game clock. Your third straight NFL Championship is on the line. Your quarterback has just suggested a play to your legendary coach. So "let's run the damn play and get the hell outa here!" The play that must be run is NOMINATE JERRY KRAMER FOR ELECTION TO THE HALL OF FAME!! Not only did Jerry Kramer make the block that delivered the Green Bay Packers to their third consecutive NFL Championship in one of the premier games in NFL history, he is one of the best guards to ever play the game. Following his football career, he has been instrumental in bringing new audiences of varied interests and demographics to the NFL. I believe in Jerry so strongly I have joined a nationwide effort named Jerry Kramer for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As we ask people to support Jerry’s nomination, more and more become incredulous asking, “Jerry Kramer is NOT in the Hall? That’s incredible and wrong!” We have 14 Pro Football Hall of Famers saying that Jerry should be in. We have hundreds of sportswriters and thousands of fans who support him. Jerry may have been a nominee of the Senior Committee previously. This time there is huge, grass roots support all over the country supporting his nomination and election. Please make Jerry Kramer the Senior Nominee and watch him be elected overwhelmingly. NFL sports fans all over the United States will cheer loudly and join the festivities in Canton! Jerry Kramer was not only a 5-time All Pro Bowl Guard and selected to the Pro Bowl 3 times, he was one of the premier guards of his generation and era in the NFL. Your own Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee named Jerry to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1960s. He is the ONLY player on the NFL 50th anniversary team not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That era saw some of the greatest running backs in football history: Paul Hornung, Jim Tayl
Long over due. I understand the back log the Hall has, but to ignore Jerry's accomplishments is shameful.
I believe Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
For anybody who watched the NFL in the late '50s and decade of the '60s, this is a travesty, and it's obvious the HOF senior selection committee is now made up of people who never saw Jerry play or don't have a clue as to his impact on the game. The archaic way the NFL honors its greatest is even more maddening. Jerry should have been enshrined 40 years ago. Let's correct this once and for all.
Kramer has deserved this honor for a long time, How you inducted other linemen before him is a total mystery to me.
I grew up with the Lombardi Packers. Jerry Kramer is aa deserving of a place in the NFL HOF as any man now enshrined. Please realize that this situation needs to be corrected now...it's the fitting and proper thing to do by the HOF. Thank you.
It's about time!
This is long overdue.
Ice bowl. Superbowls 1 and 2. 3 straight NFL championships. What in God's name are you waiting for? Don't make this another Stabler.
He is one of the best to play the game and has been shunned by the voters because he was that good.
Jerry Kramer needs to go see bro the Haopl of Fame. No more waiting
It has been way to long. Jerry should have been voted five years after he retired.
I'm not going to visit the Hall of Fame until Jerry Kramer is there. Without him, the Hall is a sham...
Please vote Jerry Kramer into HOF finally long over due
Long overdue, please right this wrong
I saw him play, one great player.
Please consider Jerry Kramer for the Hall of Fame; he is most deserving and you ought to be fair in your process.
It's time!
He should have been in along time ago in the football hall fame along time ago
How can a man who was name to the first fifty all pro team not be in the Hall? Vote Jerry in!
Way past time to get him in the Hall.
Dude is a legend. Put him in. Vince would tell you that.
Please put one of the most deserving players into the Hall of Fame.
It's time to welcome Jerry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, for both his on-field accomplishments and his off-of-the-field ambassadorship for the several past decades. Let's get this done, please. Thanks very much!
Jerry should have been inducted long time ago
Please send updates. Hope he gets in. Love ya Jerry!
I am from Wisconsin and have been a Packer Backer since 1948. Jerry is from the State of Idaho and is renowned there. I live close to Idaho and have followed his home state legacy. It is well past his time to be honored with the yellow sports coat jacket!!!!!!
It's Time Please!
Long overdue for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
This is a must do for the hall of fame. It's gone on way to long!
Mr Kramer should of been in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame a long time ago. He deserves it
Long, long overdue. Get it done!
Jerry is very deserving of this honor, please put him in the Hall of Fame
Absolutely shocking that #64 isn't already in the HOF.
High time this man was given the honour he deserves!!!! #64RULES
The biggest mistake, the all 50th team, the only player not in the Hall, terrible, and according to Lombardi himself, the best guard
Until Jerry Kramer is included, the Hall of Fame will not represent what they should. Kramer was the best ever at his position and his being on the all-century team for all players and positions lets everyone know the at the Hall of Fame does not represent the best players in the history of the game like it is meant to.
He needs to be in the hall of fame
Mr. Kramer more than deserves this spot in Canton. He is a leader on and off the field, a humanitarian, and a true great in the legacy of the NFL. It's long past time. Do the right thing and open the door for 64.
What ya waiting for? Waiting for him to die before he gets In? If it wasn't for his block in the frozen tundra, star doesn't get in and packers don't win.
Someone please explain to me why this man is not in the HOF?
Jerry has more than proved himself if it wasn't for his blocking an hustle Paul Hormuz would have never gained those yards do the right thing put the man in the hall
C'mon already! Why isn't this already done??
Gentleman, please do the right thing and finally honor Mr. Jerry Kramer with the NFL HOF induction he so richly deserves! Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. Sincerely, -Jeff Pawlinski
Good man, great player.
Greatest of all times
The greatest dynasty..... the one that sets the standard... and he's not in ? Time to make it right !! Elect Jerry Kramer NOW !!
I vote to induct Jerry Kramer to NFLHOF
64 needs to be in the hall. Come on guys! Do the right thing!
Jerry Kramer should be in the NFL Hall of Fame! Actually he should already be there! Let's make this happen!
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN! How the hell do you name someone to an all decade team and all century team and not be in the HOF!?!?!?
Please give Jerry Kramer what has been due to him for so many years.
How is his work helping retired players not mentioned. He's also a wonderful man off the field.
This needs to happen
it's about time!
He deserves to be in the HOF. Don't let him wait any longer.
It is incredible to me that you can be named to the First team of the first 50 years of the NFL and still not be in the HOF. I don't care how many of his teammates have been elected to the Hall. It is an individual honor. Do the right thing, at long last, put this man where he belongs.
Without a doubt this man BELONGS in the hall. Awesome player and very nice man! Go Jerry!
Please add Jerry Kramer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His career was well deserved of a spot in Canton.
So obvious it hurts. Do it!
Jerry Kramer of the Green Bay Packers was the Greatest Right Guard in NFL History, It is time to induct Jerry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame
He deserves to be in the HOF
C'mon folks. It's time to put Jerry Kramer in!
Let Jerry in!!!
Such an iconic guard shouldn't be out of the hall of fame.
Jerry needs to be in the hall of fame!
I saw Jerry last Sunday when he arrived in Green Bay as we were leaving Green Bay.
He is a must. Well deserved
Get Jerry in so the right thing
He should have been in long ago.
Open the door to #64
He deserves to be in the hall of fame!! He has waited long enough!!
Jerry Kramer was voted the best guard of the first 50 years of the NFL. That proves he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
This is the year to include Jerry Kramer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he has been denied his rightful place for too long.
Jerry Kramer needs to be in the HOF!
A football team is only as good as the guys protecting the QB and blocking for the RB's. With that said, Mr. Kramer was a major complement of the Lombardi Packers championship teams. His nomination in the NFL's 50th Anniversary All-Time team should not be taken lightly.
OPEN THE DOOR FOR SIXTYFOUR!!!!
No doubt Jerry should be in the HOF. Time to get this one right.
Jerry deserves to be in the hall!
Let's Make This Happen. Long Overdue!!!
I have served on the Packers Hall of Fame board for 25 years. I am a Past President of the HOF and have sat on the Selection Committee. This has afforded me the opportunity to be around many skilled NFL executives and former players. I have yet to find one that does not believe Jerry Kramer should be in the NFL HOF. It is time to elect Jerry.
Got to see him play in person,A great Player, Hope he gets in. Way long over do.
He belongs in for the Ice Bowl alone. This is a travesty.
He was a great player, he is a great person!
Make note of this, because I'm a Bears season ticket holder and even I know he belongs in the Hall
Would love to see Jerry in he already is a HOFer in everyone's mind so lets celebrate this man while he is still here with us there is no way this wouldn't mean more to anyone else other than him.
My father gave me Jerry's book, Instant Replay when I was 8 years old in 1974. It made the biggest impression on me, I thought about the lessons learned from that book throughout high school and college.. He taught me what it meant to be a man. Jerry is the #1 player in my Hall of Fame already. He's my hero. I'm so glad 40 years later that he shared his story with me.
I have been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and I have vowed never to return until Jerry Kramer has been enshrined. I have been a Packer fan my entire life and I am grateful that I was able to see the 60s Packers play. Vince Lombardi the man that the Super Bowl Trophy is named for once said Jerry Kramer is the greatest right guard in professional football! Green Bay fans everywhere need to get behind this!
Jerry Kramer absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!!!!
NFL HOF get this great player into the Hall BEFORE he passes away. If he has to wait til 2020 (per what I'm reading now) shame on you! I watched him as a kid in WI and I'm 60 now...what is the deal with the selection committee???
I was watching the HOF ceremony last night on ESPN and thought about Jerry Kramer. He deserves to get in to hall. A great member of many great teams. Sad the he has waited this long.
A mind-numbing omission.
Jerry Kramer is a class act. Its a no brainer for him to be in the hall but for the life of me they snub him. Please honor this man before he passes on. You will proud to have him. He helped make the NFL what it is today. The fans will love it.
Kramer was an instrumental player in the Packers' early NFL titles and Super Bowl wins. He has been a class act the entire time and is what the NFL should be about. Do not tarnish the Pro Football Hall of Fame by not inducting Jerry Kramer. I run into him occasionally in Green Bay and he always makes time to talk to you and shake your hand.
You're the only ones who can make this happen, there are guys who are far less deserving that are in the Hall. Let's get serious!
Kramer was a six-time All-Pro (five first-team honors) at right guard and also went to three Pro Bowls. No. 64 was also on the NFL All-Decade team for the 1960s. In addition to all that, Kramer was also a member of the NFL's 50th anniversary team in 1969. Kramer is the only member of that team not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Go jerry
the packers sweep the ice bowl long over due
This man deserves to be in the Hall!!!
Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Famer.....his record speaks for itself... hopefully be will be inducted before he dies..
This man is long overdue his claim to the hall of fame. Please do the right thing.
He has better metrics than other guards in the HOF.
I grew up in Wisconsin during the Packers "Glory Years" and Jerry Kramer was a key ingredient of the Lombardi dynasty. I have written several times to the Hall of Fame requesting that Jerry Kramer be inducted as he richly deserves.
It would be a long time coming
I grew up watching the Packers dominate the NFL in the 60's. Jerry Kramer was a household name who embodied the desire; determination; dedication to pursue excellence. I played right guard varsity high school football 2 years 75/76 and we ran the power sweep. If I recall I ran my part just like Jerry Kramer! O'l 64!!! He belongs in Canton.
It is and has been a travesty that Jerry Kramer is not in the NFL Hall of Fame. He should be recognized for his talent, accomplishments, and career and not be excluded because he was a Green Bay Packer.
Reading his book as a child is what made me a football fan, a Packer fan and a Kramer fan all my life. How many fans did he create for the game by writing a book?
He was a key blocker for Hall of Famers Bart Starr and Jim Taylor. He was the leverage of Lombardi’s patented sweep play. He was a first-team All-Pro guard five times and second-team once. He was named one of the two guards on the NFL’s 50th-year anniversary team.
In my humble opinion, some of the most exciting football ever played was when Jerry Kramer was part of the great Green Bay Packers team! He deserves induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Consider all that he accomplished during his pro career. The list is long. Give Kramer what he earned! ~A Norby Morfin
It is a shame that he has not already been given this honor.
It is unbelievable that Jerry Kramer is not in the hall of fame.he was simply the very best guard in the NFL for a DECADE 5 time ALLPRO FIRST team was the guard that was the lead blocker for GB power sweep that put Starr, Taylor, Hornung in Hall of Fame plus 5time world champs. Why or how could a voter NOT vote for Kramer? I am astounded, look at his resume and accomplishments maybe younger voters dont realize how good this guy was.
How many other offensive linemen can most people even name ? Especially from half a century ago. He belongs in.
Way passed due for a worthy football legend!
Never could understand why Kramer wasn't in on the first ballot. Ir's long overdue to correct this error. Billy Shaw and Joe D are in and#64 isn't? IMO he was better than both. If Vince was alive he would have raised hell about this!
It's time to make things right. Put Jerry Kramer in the Hall of Fame!
it will be a sad day if he doesn't make it with the likes of T.O. and R. moss to possibly get in!!!
Jerry Kramer has had a very impressive career in football and deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
shameful that he is not in the hall
Me Met his son on plane years ago. Now at last I can repay him for being fun to talk to. He was going home after visiting Dad in Boise.
Jerry should've been in the HOF decades ago
I've been a Dallas Cowboy fan since 1962, so I remember well Jerry's block in the ice bowl. Nevertheless, give him the nod, he deserves it!
Absolutely one of the greatest! When you look at who's in and the fact that Jerry isn't you have to ask yourself "what are they thinking?"
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kramer at Lambeau Field last year. He told me stories of his time with the Packers and his experiences with Mr. Lombardi. I get so frustrated every year I see the HOF list come out and his name is missing. I believe this must be the year that he receives the acknowledgement so richly deserved. There would be no sweep without #64, The HOF voters need to enshrine him this year, and not fall victim to the "there are too many Lombardi era Packers in the Hall already" mentality. He was so much better than some of the linemen already inducted and it is a disservice to the Hall that he is overlooked.

Jerry Kramer should have been in the HOF years ago. Great man. Saved my life one day for sending me to a Doctor for an illness I had. Love the man. I am alive today because of Jerry
Jerry Kramer was and will always be the best guard to ever play the game of football. Does more donated appearance's then anyone. He has always been the greatest ambassador for the game of football. P
I am a diehard Packer fan living in GA. My entire family is from the greater Milwaukee area, hence Green and Gold is in my blood! My father was a religious Packer fan as am I, and he used to tell me stories of the great Green Bay Packer teams of the '60's. Specifically highlighting the incredible Offensive Line that those teams possessed, including Jerry Kramer. I think it is a dis-service to the NFL HOF that Jerry Kramer has not been inducted to this point. He is deserving of the honor and should be indcted ASAP!

Induct Jerry Kramer into the hall of fame He's a football legend

He/The Packer has earned it!
He/The Packer has earned it!
It doesn't take much of a student of the game to know that Jerry is a HOFer. Jerry's impact on the game not only through his play but his leadership in helping former players has truly shown that you can't tell the NFL story without Jerry Kramer. That is HOF material in my book
