Bob Vogel for HOVG?

Bob Vogel was a very good left tackle who had a 10 year career for the Baltimore Colts (1963-72).
I saw the Colts 1963 opener against the New York Giants. Vogel, a rookie in his first regular season game, played across the line from Andy Robustelli, a difficult assignment, even though Andy was almost 38 and was past his best.
Anyway, Vogel did a real good job on Robustelli, even though he was a rookie. He continued his good work for 10 seasons with Baltimore. A good candidate for the HOVG, IMO.
BTW, Andy Robustelli was past it in 1963, but did make some big plays against Philadelphia and Washington that year. So, Vogel did a very good job in the opener, even though Baltimore lost the game, 37 to 28.
