Jim Marshall to the HOF

NOT JIM MARSHALL. I am an amateur Vikings historian dedicated to getting former @Vikings @Browns Defensive End, Jim Marshall, in the @ProFootballHOF.

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

From 1960 until 1974 (when he retired) Deacon Jones led the league in sacks finishing his career first all time. He remains third to this day.

Jim Marshall was 2nd in that same time period.

At least one of Jim’s former teams is good.

Anybody have $48,500 I can… just have?

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

There have been several plays this year alone that are worse than *that one*. That cardinals fumbled interception touchdown might be the worst I’ve ever seen.

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

Several more cuts to happen in the coming months and a lot of deserving names. But little steps are needed before the big one.

Name a player who’s currently not in the Hall of Fame that you think should be.🧐🔥

*yearly AFL Pro-Bowler. Not my night for typos.

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

First one had a typo in the graphic. My bad.

These are the guys Jim either tied in sacks or outright Outsacked.

This is the first time I compiled the AFL stats. Having the stats to be an AFL Pro Bowler blew my mind.

A quick spreadsheet I made of Jim's per season sack total compared to
1. Pro Bowlers
2. 1st and 2nd team All-Pros
3. AFL All- Pros and Pro Bowlers

A perennial All-Star talent overlooked then and now

Johnny Baker has an asterisk next to his name in 66 because he was primarily a Linebacker but played some DE that lone season

Jim Marshall on Alan Page…and their great play against Detroit in a snowstorm.

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

@MikeJTupa Living or dead, the honor is still deserved. Trust me, you’d be hard pressed to find someone outside of his friends and family that was more devastated by his passing. If I gave up now then I’d be saying that it wasn’t worth the fight when it was and is.

[Jim Marshall to the HOF @JimMarshallFan]

Keep the faith. Football immortality this time next year.

The team needs to be pulling overtime to get him into the Hall. Team sponsored pushes have worked for deserving players in the past.

Rest in peace big man.

My heart is very heavy hearing this news. Jim was an inspiration to me on and off the field. He will be missed, but his legacy will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with his wife and family.
