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

Here we are! Again!! If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know that we have asked the rhetorical question…what if the PFHOF began in January of 1946? After soliciting and obtaining a passionate group of football fans and historians, we sent out a ballot for a Preliminary Vote, which we asked each voter to give us 25 names as their semi-finalists, and 5 in the Senior Pool.

Was inducted into the actual Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020. One of the best Tackles of the 1920s, Duke Slater shattered barriers everywhere he went. A superstar at the University of Iowa where he was a three-time All-Big 10 Selection, Slater played two games for the Milwaukee Badgers before he signed with the Rock Island Independents where he played for four years.
