Earl Faison HOVG?

[JohnTurney]

Been voting for Faison every year...think maybe it's his "turn". A few of the best DL of AFL had short careers, Sestak, Faison, Tombstone . . . Ike Lassiter...

[JeffreyMiller]

I'd vote for him.

How does Faison compare to the recently-inducted Jim Katcavage (or George Andrie & LC Greenwood)?

[bachslunch]

I'd vote for him also, and would even consider voting for him for the PFHoF. He played six seasons and has honors of 4/5/none. No idea why he didn't make the all-AFL team.

I think he's right there with them. I've seen quite a lot of his film, even stood up as a rusher backer for Chargers at times...was a dominant physical guy. Sometimes looked to loaf, though. Hurt his back and that limited him and had to retire.

Was Earl Faison and Eugene Lipscomb the same type of players ? Dominant but took alot of plays off ?

Faison is a 2021 Finalist!

Meaning he will be elected or part of a smaller group for vote ? I am new and not aware of how the voting process works yet ... Thanks

The Process for HoVG Selection:
1. Any current member of the PFRA may submit 5 names in nomination for the HoVG.
This usually happens in April or May.

2. Each Committee member (9) then ranks their top 20 choices of those nominated from 1 to 20. Points are awarded in inverse order. The top 20 vote getters are submitted to the organization as finalists for the HoVG. This is done shortly after the nomination period is closed.

3. The body politic of the PFRA votes, usually by Halloween (October 31st).
They do so by selecting exactly 10 of the 20 finalists for enshrinement into the HoVG.

4. All of those who appear on 55% of ballots are elected, up to a maximum of 10. The minimum is seven so seven are elected even if fewer than seven receive 55% (the next closest vote getters).

Earl Faison played six seasons in the American Football League (1961-1966) with San Diego (1961-1966) and the Miami Dolphins (1966). He was consensus AFL Rookie of the Year in 1961, was a five-time Pro Bowler, and was named all-pro four times. He played on the 1963 AFL champion Chargers. During his short career, Faison ranked 19th in sacks (sack counts before 1982 are unofficial).
