I made a brain dead typographical error in my summary of why Lee Roy Jordan should be in the Hall of Fame. Jordan has the second most tackles on the all time on the DALLAS COWBOY tackle list - not the all time NFL list. I acknowledge this mistake so that Lee Roy Jordan is elected on his ample and well deserved merits and facts - and not upon mistakes or hyperbole.

Lee Roy Jordan must be elected to the Hall of Fame immediately. There are twelve middle linebackers currently residing in Canton. Lee Roy Jordan has more turnover recoveries (32 interceptions and 18 fumble recoveries for a total of fifty) than ANY other of the middle linebacker elected to the Hall of Fame except for Ray Lewis who had 51 turnover recoveries (31 interceptions and 20 fumble recoveries. Significantly, however, Ray Lewis played in forty-one more games than Lee Roy Jordan. Lee Roy Jordan, as the leader of the famous Dallas Cowboy "Doomsday" defense led the National football League in fewest yards allowed rushing in the 1966; 1967; 1968; 1969 and 1972 seasons; finished second in fewest yards allowed rushing in 1971; 1973 and 1974. Indeed, the Dallas Cowboy defense finished in the top five of fewest total yards allowed in EVERY season from 1966-1976 except for 1967 (6th); 1973 (7th) and 1976 (7th). Much of this was due to Lee Roy Jordan's non-parallel tackling ability. Lee Roy Jordan, despite playing in 14 game seasons, still ranks third and fourth in NFL history for most unassisted tackles in a season (100 in 1968 and 97 in 1973.) Lee Roy Jordan was recognized as the NFC defensive player of the year in 1973, meaning there was no defensive player better than he in 1973. A two time All -Pro and five time pro bowler, Pro Football Hall of Fame Reference Monitor rates Lee Roy Jordan the nineteenth finest inside linebacker in NFL history, ahead of such Hall of Fame inside linebacker luminaries as Sam Mills. Finally, Lee Roy Jordan's Dallas Cowboys made the playoffs ten of his fourteen seasons, playing in two NFL title games, three Super Bowls and five NFC title games. To this day, Lee Roy Jordan is the second leading total tackler in NFL history. Indeed, had it not been for the towering presence of Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke and Willie Lanier in the middle, Lee Roy Jordan would have been the ascendant middle linebacker of his era; and when measured in terms of team success and team defensive dominance, Lee Roy Jordan ranks above Butkus and Lanier and just behind Nitschke. In summary, it is criminal that Lee Roy Jordan is not in the Hall of Fame and should be and must be honored with a gold jacket and a bust in Canton..

Lee Roy Jordan was one of the most dominant inside LB that's not in the NFL
Hall of Fame. He's one the greatest LB in NFL history." He was a 2x all pro selection & a 5X pro bowler. Honestly there was more years that he probably should have made the pro bowl & was not even selected. He was a 2x all American @ The University of Alabama. Were he captured a National Championship while playing for one of the Legendary great college football coaches of all times Paul Bear Bryant. He also is a member of the College football hall of fame. Lee Roy is a member of several other halls of fame aswell. He was drafted by Dallas Cowboys in the first round in 1963 were he played for another NFL Legendary football coach, Tom Landry.
I must say without players like Lee Roy Jordan coach Landry probably wouldn't be a hall of fame coach." Lee Roy Jordan was the leader of one the greatest NFL defenses of all times, The Dallas Cowboy's Doomsday Defense. "
Lee Roy ankled the middle of that great defense & was a dominating inside
LB in his era. He was a beast on the field & a gentleman off the field. Lee Roy Jordan is a true legend, and the NFL needs to be treat him as such. He is well deserving of a busk in Canton Ohio."
It's far past time to put this great Legendary LB in the NFL Hall of Fame.
I hope and pray that we can make this a reality while he is still with us." God bless……

Leroy Jordan was a Legendary LB for one of the greatest Legendary Defenses in history of the NFL The Legendary Doomsday Defense. Were he ankle the middle of that great D. And was a leader.
He is probably one the only member of the Dallas Cowboys ring of honor that is not in the Hall of fame. There are more LB's in the NFL HOF with lesser stats than him but yet there in the HOF. This man was a elite LB in his era & dominated his position. He is much deserving & well Over Due!!!
