There are a few key things that stand out as to why Chuck Howley should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. First, he was so dominant in the Super Bowl that they named him the Most Valuable Player even though his team lost. It literally has never happened again.
He was an All-Pro linebacker five times. He has as many, or more All-Pro First Team selections than 230 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (194 members have four of those or less).
Of 37 players to win a Super Bowl MVP who are not currently active players, 22 have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Peyton Manning will soon be inducted.
Howley was one of the best linebackers in coverage of all time, intercepting 25 passes and returning them for 399 yards and two touchdowns.
With a long and extremely successful career with many awards and honors, such being inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor, it is actually quite amazing that he didn’t get selected to be a Hall-of-Famer.
