Thanks for sharing! I like a lot of those guys (I'm a no on Benton), but I'll take Sharpe over all of them.JameisBrownston wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 7:42 pmJust senior receivers:rewing84 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 5:52 pmJust curious who would you rather see than Sharpe.

He had retired in 1947. He helped the Bears and Rams win championships and could have been the MVP of the 1945 Championship game. His game yardage record of 303 yrds stood for over 40 years. He was also second to Hutson all-time in receptions and TD catches his final season. Deserving of the HOF.
