No. 7: Roger Craig is being robbed of his rightful place in the Hall of Fame

Seriously, what is taking them so long?

It’s put best here:

"Craig was the first back to have a 1,000-yard rushing, 1,000-yard receiving season. The first running back with more than 90 catches in a season (a feat that prompted Hall of Fame receiver Art Monk to jokingly tell Craig, “Stay out of my category.”) Craig was the first player to make the Pro Bowl as both a fullback and a halfback. The first player to score three touchdowns in a single Super Bowl — one rushing, two receiving. Walsh made the Hall of Fame largely because of his role of innovator. His creativity worked largely because of Roger Craig."

49er fans have only one thing to say: Give the man his rightful place in history.
