There are all sorts of overrated players in this heat. In looking at the list, I come to the following conclusions.
Waterfield, Zimmerman, Leemans, and Irvin don't astonish me, but they're good enough to get off the list immediately. Same with Fortmann even though his career was too short to be a shoo-in.
Tinglehoff couldn't handle Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp when it counted, but he's not at the bottom of the list.
Lynn Swann got in because of his media connections, but he was at least entertaining.
Munchak? Whatever. In other heats, he'd get my anti-vote, but he was at least decent.
I'd like to vote against Buoniconti, but he's not the weakest player on this list.
My three votes are therefore:
1. Jerome Bettis. 3.9 ypc. Media guy. Get him out of here.
2. Paul Hornung. Earlier discussions have convinced me that Jim Taylor was the workhorse and Hornung was the showhorse. He was never really dominant.
3. Elroy Hirsch. One-year wonder, though in fairness it was a really good one year.
