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, so this results 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 seventh ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:
The new 61 to 70:
61. Rod Smith
62. John Abraham
63. Larry Grantham
64. Mike Kenn
65. Greg Lloyd
66. Marshall Goldberg
67. Gary Clark
68. Rosey Grier
69. Henry Ellard
70. Darren Woodson
Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.
Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.
Marshall Goldberg was a major star at the University of Pittsburgh and would ply his trade well for the Chicago Cardinals. Goldberg did it all in the early 1940s, especially in the 1941 season, where he rushed for 427 Yards, received passes for 313 Yards, and was the top finisher in Kick Return Yards (290), earning him the league lead in All-Purpose Yards (1,236) and a Pro Bowl Selection. He would finish fifth in All-Purpose Yards in 1942. Defensively, he had 19 Interceptions, including a league-lead 7 in 1941.
Like many NFL players, he served his country in World War II, and when he came back, he would rejoin Chicago and help them win the NFL Championship in 1947. Historically speaking, Goldberg was also one of the first Jewish stars of the NFL.
The Cardinals enshrined Goldberg into their Ring of Honor in 2006.
