I saw on a Denver post article that Dan Reeves was in the HOF. I didn't know he was in the HOF. I thought he was a solid RB not a HOF type.

1967 - Chuck Bednarik, Charlie Bidwill, Paul Brown, Bobby Layne, Dan Reeves, Ken Strong, Joe Stydahar, Emlen Tunnell.

Strange thing was, he was effecient as a back, in not unspectacular. The rings on his fingers certainly didnt hurt in getting him in the Hall though. Here's his stats...

how could he be in the hall in 1967 when his playing career ended in 1972?

[SteveTensi13]

It's not Dan Reeves the former owner of the LA Rams?

He must've done a Marty McFly of course. Duh! :thumbsup:

Yes ... and Cleveland Rams. He's the guy who moved them west ....

[Disco Man]

He will be there some day I think, however it's not the same guy.
