How many other kickers are in the hall? Start with him/them for a base comparison. I hope it's first time.

George Blanda (Also QB) 1949-1958, 1960-1975
Lou Groza (Also T) 1946-1959, 1961-1967
Jan Stenerud 1967-1985


I think he compares with them. He did hold the longest FG record for a while too.

So the only pure kicker is Jan. What great kicker has been eligible since and do they have a better career than Jason?!

I hope if Jason gets in, so does Morten Anderson.

I don't think he'll be getting in any time soon.

Ray Guy just got in - the first punter.

But I do think there's a chance that he eventually gets in.

Not soon but hopefully eventually. Morten Anderson should be in there before Elam but I think they both deserve to be in.

Sadly Jason seems distant toward UH and the people of Hawaii. Many have approached him during past Pro Bowl festivities only to have their picture or autograph request denied.

Wasn't he going to transfer from UH?

What was Jason's beef with UH after he got into the NFL?
