    One of the best go to wr ever. How many times Did they call his number to run a crossing route in the middle when they needed a first down badly. Great hands without glue. He took some nasty hits being the go to wide receiver in a lot of cases. Smartest thing that he ever did was retire when he did. I hope he’s had a good life and more is coming

    You cannot tell me Steve McMichael is more worthy of the hall of fame than Ed “Too Tall” Jones, L.C. Greenwood, Joe Jacoby or Lester Hayes. Heck, even Sterling Sharpe’s career cut way too short because of injury is much more deserving of the honor.
