Congrats to Roger.
So many fans turned on him when the Giants forced a fumble in the 4th quarter that ended our SB run. He was always such a good dude. I felt bad he ended his time with us and had to play for the Raiders.

His numbers aren't necessarily great enough to put him in the HOF but the way he revolutionized the position makes him worthy. The most amazing thing to me is he was considered an average back coming out of college. nebraska never used him as a receiver. He only had 16 receptions for 102 yards in 4 years. Somehow Walsh saw his ability to catch passes and the rest is history.
I think context is needed. Players that played primarily after 1990 have gaudy numbers and they should. Rules favor offenses. Im not saying you lack context though. But Im willing to be a lot of voters saw 8000 yards or so and thought meh. As you stated, he revolutionized the position. I wish we could find a Roger Craig now- triple threat being a blocker, runner, and receiver. Long overdue for number 33. Im also glad it happened while he was alive and well.

wow finally
feel like there is more of an emphasis now placed on dual threat RBs, Craig was the OG

He was so versatile as an NFL player but was a full back when he got drafted out of Nebraska .
in HS he was ranked as the # 7 best player and 2nd best RB behind Eric Dickerson .
