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

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 Five World Championships 60's All-Decade team NFL 50th Anniversary Team 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

Dan Larson

It is a joke that Jerry is not in

John abel

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?

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.

Kris Knowles

Mr. Kramer deserves to finally be in!

James Koehler

About Time

Mike Penner

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.

Robert E Holmes

Jerry was awesome!

Dave Thornton

Jerry absolutely should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Neal Hewitt

Please induct Jerry Kramer into the Hall of Fame.

Kirk Ridley

John T Polarine

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.

Steve abels

The mans talents and love of the game is his ticket into the HALL

Jeff Bartlow

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

John Wenger

Long overdue

Larry Schwenke

Way,way overdue for this honor!

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.

Dave Kinkela

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).

Max Burke

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

Rick Gunter

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.

RAY CARTER

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..

Franco bianco

Jerry Kramer greatest ever pulling guard in NFL history. MUST BE SELECTED TO HALL OF FAME!!!!

Ron Conrad

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!!

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!

Peter

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.

Anthony C Brown

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

Tony Maravilla

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

Loren Evenson

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

Roger Rock

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.

James Flessas

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.

It is time for Kramer's induction!

Nancy Janorschke

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.

Harlan McIntosh

Hope Mr.Kramer get into the hall of fame.I watched many games he played in.

Ernie Schoeffel

He should have been in the Hall along time ago. With all he's done it's a terrible oversight.

It's about time to give Jerry his due... 40+ years is to long to wait

pat wheeler

It's actually an atrocity for Mr Kramer not to have been elected decades ago.Do the right thing and select him now.

Donald A Peterson

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!

Lee Folkins

Sherri Hayward

Canton please open your door for 64.

Stephen Ayers

Great player and great spokesman for football.

Gerard Connelly

Mr. Kramer's record speaks for itself. It's outrageous that he is not in the HOF.

John Puerner

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 !!!!

Wc johnston

Deserves to be in hall

Anonymous

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.

Ryan Peacock

He has inspired so many in the UK and Ireland his legend transcends continents! HOF in our eyes!

Jerry Kramer deserves and more than earned his spot in the HOF!!

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.

Bill Wilson

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!

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.

I implore you to make the right decision and induct Jerry Kramer into the hall of fame. Kind Regards John Doyle

Steve Christensen

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.

Larry Schwanke

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!!

Larry Schwanke

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!!!!!!!

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. Thank you.

This is a must do for the hall of fame. It's gone on way to long!

Michael Gilbert

Mr Kramer should of been in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame a long time ago. He deserves it

Dennis Betz

Long, long overdue. Get it done!

Terese Barth

Jerry is very deserving of this honor, please put him in the Hall of Fame

Arend Geurink

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

Jon Baier

C'mon already! Why isn't this already done??

Jeff Pawlinski

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

Stephen Keane

Good man, great player.

Dean Bratlee

Greatest of all times

Steve Younger

The greatest dynasty..... the one that sets the standard... and he's not in ? Time to make it right !! Elect Jerry Kramer NOW !!

Thomas gryniewicz

I vote to induct Jerry Kramer to NFLHOF

Daniel Schneider

64 needs to be in the hall. Come on guys! Do the right thing!

Pamela Shaver

Jerry Kramer should be in the NFL Hall of Fame! Actually he should already be there! Let's make this happen!

Matt Straka

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!?!?!?

Chris Gulbrand

Please give Jerry Kramer what has been due to him for so many years.

Patricia Meyer

How is his work helping retired players not mentioned. He's also a wonderful man off the field.

Keith Petrocik

This needs to happen

rick hoops

it's about time!

Ruth Taylor

He deserves to be in the HOF. Don't let him wait any longer.

Michael Salmon

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!

SUSI Antoniuk

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

Stuart Birch

So obvious it hurts. Do it!

Kirk Nelson

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

Danny Miller

He deserves to be in the HOF

Andrew Shales

C'mon folks. It's time to put Jerry Kramer in!

Scott Weber

Let Jerry in!!!

VICTOR PAVON

Such an iconic guard shouldn't be out of the hall of fame.

James Vey

Jerry needs to be in the hall of fame!

John G Taddy

I saw Jerry last Sunday when he arrived in Green Bay as we were leaving Green Bay.

Robb Gardner

He is a must. Well deserved

Scott Lines

Get Jerry in so the right thing

Dave Wilson

He should have been in long ago.

Michele Cozad

Open the door to #64

Anonymous

He deserves to be in the hall of fame!! He has waited long enough!!

Bruce Lanser

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.

Julia Franklin

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.

Plass Jeff

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

OPEN THE DOOR FOR SIXTYFOUR!!!!

Kathryn Rowen

No doubt Jerry should be in the HOF. Time to get this one right.

David Diedrich

Jerry deserves to be in the hall!

Gregory Staats

Let's Make This Happen. Long Overdue!!!

Perry Kidder

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.

Elbert Burley

Got to see him play in person,A great Player, Hope he gets in. Way long over do.

Jeff Schultz

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.

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

Go jerry

Francis clark

the packers sweep the ice bowl long over due

DRD

This man deserves to be in the Hall!!!

Mike Forte

Jerry Kramer deserves to be in the Hall of Famer.....his record speaks for itself... hopefully be will be inducted before he dies..

Michael Kahler

This man is long overdue his claim to the hall of fame. Please do the right thing.

William J Kraemer

He has better metrics than other guards in the HOF.

Anonymous

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!!!

Clairann Kaminski

Jerry Kramer has had a very impressive career in football and deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

john becker

shameful that he is not in the hall

Anita spang

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.

Tom Birk

Jerry should've been in the HOF decades ago

Lee Phillips

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!

Anonymous

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.

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!

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
