The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1948 PRELIMINARY VOTE

Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946? We have completed the two years thus far, and here we are with a third year. For “1948” a Preliminary Vote with 127 players whose playing career ended by 1940. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter is asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists. A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and a week after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year. 29 people participated in the 1948 Preliminary Vote which yielded the following result: This is for the “Modern Era” *Bold indicates they advanced to the Semi-Finals: Player Year of Eligibility Vote Total Duke Slater T 12 29 Jimmy Conzelman* BB-TB-HB-E 14 28 Cliff Battles TB-FB-WB-DB 6 28 Guy Chamberlin E-WB 16 27 George Trafton C 12 27 Benny Friedman TB-DB 9 27 Mike Michalske G-T-LB-BB 6 27 Johnny Blood TB-HB-WB-BB-DB 5 27 Joe Guyon WB-TB-BB-FB 16 26 Pete Henry T 15 26 Verne Llewellen B 11 26 Steve Owen T-G 10 26 Link Lyman T 9 26 Ray Flaherty E-DE 8 26 Lavvie Dilweg E 9 24 Walt Kiesling G-T 5 24 Red Badgro E-DE 7 22 Ox Emerson G-C 5 22 Clark Hinkle FB-LB-HB-DB 2 22 Dutch Sternaman HB-QB-FB 18 21 Turk Edwards T 3 21 Beattie Feathers HB-WB 3 12 Cecil Isbel TB-HB 1 12 Swede Youngstrom G-T-E-C 18 10 Steamer Horning T 20 9 Harry Robb B 20 8 Pete Stinchcomb HB 19 8 Hunk Anderson G-C 18 8 Joey Sternaman QB-BB 15 7 Tony Latone B 13 6 Whizzer White TB-HB 2 6 Cub Buck T 18 5 Gus Sonnenberg T-FB-TB 13 5 George Christensen T-G 4 5 Duke Henry E-T-G-FB 13 4 Joe Kopcha G 10 4 Nate Barragar C-G 8 4 Jack Manders HB-FB 3 4 Gaynell Tinsley E 3 4 Bob Koehler FB 17 3 Wildcat Wilson…
