Hope he gets in and that his mental condition allows him to enjoy it. Some great era information in this article as well. I watched those teams, loved Howley, but because their uniforms always looked so sleek and modern and not unlike recent editions, I forget just how long ago it was and the bad conditions compared to modern era. Chuck Howley is 86! How is that possible!

Keeping fingers crossed.

Very underrated player outside of the Dallas fans and media, and a few others that appreciate good football players.
Really hoping he gets in. Deserved to be in years ago.

It is a travesty that he isn’t in when lesser players are there, shame on the voters who have done this for years.

24 finalists named for Class of 2023 in Seniors, Coach/Contributor categories
July 27, 2022

CANTON, Ohio – In separate elections announced Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Seniors Committee and its Coach/Contributor Committee have reduced their respective lists for consideration for the Class of 2023 to 12 Finalists each.

In the Seniors category, the Finalists are: Ken Anderson, Maxie Baughan, Randy Gradishar, Chuck Howley, Cecil Isbell, Joe Klecko, Bob Kuechenberg, Eddie Meador, Tommy Nobis, Ken Riley, Sterling Sharpe and Everson Walls.

Each Senior Finalist played his last game in professional football no later than the 1996 season.

The 12-person Seniors Committee will meet Aug. 16, and each committee member will discuss one Finalist in detail. The committee’s final vote will send three Seniors to the full 49-person Selection Committee for consideration at its annual meeting in early 2023; each of those three could be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame at that meeting.

Everson Walls also advanced to the finalist stage.

Walls was a Class of 2018 finalist also. Hopefully both the Seniors Committee and the Board of Selectors will do right by him this time.

this horrific over-sight hopefully gets fixed.
one of the very best to ever play the position.
one of the very best of his era.
one of the greatest cowboys of all-time.
he has earned his spot.
long over due to put this man in canton.
other wise...just close up the damn thing.
CHUCK☆HOWLEY

I think this might finally be the year for Chuck.

Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, and five-time first team All Pro - seems long overdue.

WAY OVERDUE

How is a 5 time 1st team All-Pro not in the HOF already?
