In Tyrer's case, I make particular note of this sentence in the article:

Only their on-the-field accomplishments are considered.


I think the three Chiefs are easily among the most deserving, along with Everson Walls and Joe Jacoby.
Jim Tyrer should be a HOF slam dunk. Fun fact: when I was 5 years old, Jim Tyrer lived across the street from my family in KC.

God, he seemed like a giant to me then.

The Tyrers didn't live across the street when the tragedy happened, BUT I was a Rockhurst High classmate of his son, Brad Tyrer.

In fact, I had multiple classes with Brad that year.
