Jerry Kramer, an offensive guard for the Green Bay Packers was just elected to the football Hall of Fame.
From the Green Bay Press Gazette:
Jerry Kramer finally made it.
In his 11th time as a finalist, the former Green Bay Packers guard was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Kramer, 82, becomes the 13th member of the Packers’ dynasty in the 1960s to be voted into the Hall. The others are coach Vince Lombardi, fullback Jim Taylor, tackle Forrest Gregg, quarterback Bart Starr, linebacker Ray Nitschke, cornerback Herb Adderley, defensive end Willie Davis, center Jim Ringo, running back Paul Hornung, safety Willie Wood, defensive tackle Henry Jordan and linebacker Dave Robinson.
Kramer also is the 25th Hall inductee who spent most of his career with the Packers. That’s second most in league history, behind the Chicago Bears’27.
Also voted into the Hall on Saturday were Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Randy Moss, Brian Dawkins, Terrell Owens, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard.

I'm old enough to remember watching him play and watch him in the Ice Bowl when Bart Starr took a quarterback sneak and scored the winning touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
