At the NFL Honors show on February 3, Sandpoint High School alum and legendary Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jerry Kramer was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Kramer had been named a finalist ten times before, but had never received enough votes to be elected.

He was the only offensive guard selected on the NFL’s 50th anniversary team, meaning that he was rated as the best player at his position in the first 50 years of NFL history,

Kramer was also the only player on that team to not have been elected to the Hall of Fame, leading many to criticize the Hall of Fame voters for his disclusion. Prior to being elected, NFL Network rated him as the best player who was not in the Hall of Fame.

Now that he is elected, Kramer will partake in several Hall of Fame experiences, such as having his bust created to be displayed in the Hall of Fame, before being enshrined in August at the Hall in Canton, Ohio.

He will then give a speech and receive his gold jacket, officially becoming a member of football’s most elite class and further cementing his status as one of Sandpoint High School’s greatest legends.
