The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 276 to 300:

276. Keith Millard
277. Derrick Johnson
278. Stanley Morgan
279. Leon Gray
280. David Akers
281. Buster Ramsey
282. Beattie Feathers
283. Russ Francis
284. Carson Palmer
285. Keith Brooking
286. Dennis Smith
287. Frank Cope
288. Charles Mann
289. Ed “Too Tall” Jones
290. Rich Gannon

292. E.J. Holub
293. Mel Gray
294. Bart Oates
295. Fred Arbanas

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

It was announced that former Kansas City Chief, Fred Arbanas, passed away at the age of 82.

Like many in the early '60s, Fred Arbanas was drafted by both the NFL and the AFL, but usually, those who chose the AFL were drafted higher by the new organization.  This wasn't the case with Arbanas, who was a 7th Round Selection by the Dallas Texans, where the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd Round.

No matter, as Arbanas would go on to the All-AFL Team at Tight End.  He was an AFL All-Star as a rookie, and with the Texans, he would help them win the Championship, but the organization would relocate to Kansas City, where they were rechristened as the Chiefs.  Arbanas would continue his elite status at TE, where he would have another four AFL All-Star appearances and had First Team All-Pro honors three times (1963, 1964 & 1966).  He would aid Kansas City in winning the AFL title in 1966 and 1969, the latter where he would win his only Super Bowl Ring (IV).

Arbanas retired after 1970, recording 3,101 Yards and 34 Touchdowns, both high numbers for someone who played his position in the 1960s.

In our latest Notinhalloffame.com list of those to consider for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Arbanas was ranked #254.  Arbanas was inducted into the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame in 1973.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends, fans and family of Fred Arbanas.

295. Fred Arbanas

Like many in the early '60s, Fred Arbanas was drafted by both the NFL and the AFL, but usually, those who chose the AFL were drafted higher by the new organization.  This wasn't the case with Arbanas, who was a 7th Round Selection by the Dallas Texans, where the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd Round.

Drafted by the Dallas Texans in 1961, Fred Arbanas would establish himself as one of the top Tight Ends of the American Football League immediately.  Arbanas was named an AFL All-Star in his rookie year and he would be named that honor another four times with the Texans/Chiefs.
