Not hiding my Bills bias. :D
Stratton is a excellent pick ... I need to dig into his Chargers stats ... was solid player with them, I think ... after his Bills peak

I know I've voted for him several times...
Let's get him in this year, people!

(I guess he's been a victim of anti-early-AFL "prejudice?")

I've voted for him when he made the ballot not too long ago. Honestly I am surprised he is not in the HOVG. I agree that Stratton was pretty good. He was also on the two Bills' AFL title winning teams - 1964 & 1965.

I usually nominate him year after year unless someone beats me to him. Stratton is one of my "go tos".

Yes and 73 tackles in 9 (or 10) starts depending on who you believe in terms of games started ... regardless, solid year. Anytime a 4-3 OLber gets a few picks it's worth noting.
