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 251 to 275:

251. Larry Brooks
252. Jon Morris
253. Ed Danowski
254. Dennis Harrah
255. Jim David
256. Ken Gray
257. William “Pudge” Heffelfinger
258. Jeff Van Note
259. Troy Vincent
260. Frankie Albert
261. Charles Follis

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

A member of the Los Angeles Rams for his entire 11-year career, Larry Brooks started at Defensive Tackle for the first ten of his seasons.  Brooks would settle in as an elite player going to five straight Pro Bowls (1976 & 1980) and was a First Team All-Pro in 1979.  He was a large part of the Rams' success in the late 70s and early 80s and helped them reach Super Bowl XIV.  He would win a Super Bowl later in his career as the Defensive Line Coach for the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI.

Larry Brooks played all 131 of his Games in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams where he was the team’s starting Defensive Tackle for the majority of it.  Although Quarterback Sacks were not official statistics when he played he planted pivots on the ground many times including a 14.5 season in 1976.  Brooks was also among his team’s top tacklers.  Brooks was a First Team All-Pro Selection once in 1979, but he was often in the conversation for more.  Likely the only thing that kept Brooks from being a more prominent name was that he played alongside some colorful players on the Rams defense, but those who watched him knew how good he was.
