[chicago JK]

Can the game of football be told without his name?

[Risen Star]

Yes. As the greatest talent evaluator of all time.

 

[Risen Star]

But seriously, only if they can get the hair right on the bust.

 

[rags747]

Let’s face it, he has made one hell of a career doing exactly what we all love. He was in there as a 24 year old kid when the draft was still reported a week later in Pro Football Weekly and a paragraph in your local newspaper. He just may deserve a place in the HOF as a special contributor, no doubt in my mind!

The epic example of all hair and little substance.

But he will probably get in.

 

[J-man]

he should be retired

 

[Pass2Run]

No

 

[CouchCoach]

If non-players are going to get in, why not him? The man literally built his own career out of a hobby.

And look how much attention he brought to the NFL, he should already be in.

His and Jimmy’s bust can be in the Best Hair Gallery.

They can't get all the former Cowboy greats who deserve to be in there.

 

[Risen Star]

They can't get all the former Cowboy greats who deserve to be in there.

Mel deserves it more than those guys.

 

[Desperado]

Mel deserves it more than those guys.

He’s better than any player, and cost efficient, too! Think of all the money he saves the league by not needing a helmet.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The NFL draft now gets higher TV ratings than the NBA finals. And you can't tell the story of how that happened without talking about Mel Kiper.

He should be in.

 

[RS12]

Yes. As the greatest talent evaluator of all time.

I ll go with the late Joel Buschbaum.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Yes, unequivocally.

He practically invented an entire industry.

 

[unionjack8]

100% he should be. He paved the way for what it is today.

 

[removed_20241105]

Definitely should be in.

 

[cowboyec]

yes.
he alone is the reason the draft has become a televised event.
big boards.
mock drafts.
value.
all the buzz words and cliche's spring from mel.... (and dr z at s.i.)

 

[Croomraider]

Mel Kiper is the best guy ever!

 

[Majic]

Yes, has to be
