Just bizarre for the Senior Committee to pass on Powell. They've thrown up candidates before with dubious credentials, but look at the leaderboards. Top 6 in Receiving Yards and Receiving Yards/Game from 1960-66, or every full year of his career, including leading the league in '62 and '63, and only skipping 1961 when it came to touchdowns, leading the league in '60 and '63. And sure, he had Tom Flores as his QB from '63-'66 when he went to the Raiders, but he still led the league in Receiving Yards and Receiving Yards/Game in 1962 with Johnny Green (who?) as his primary QB, or in touchdowns with Al Dorow in 1960, who just happened to have arguably the two best seasons of his career with Powell to throw to from 1960-61. He looks absolutely legitimate to me.
