Jim Marshall is a nominee again. Odds are still stacked against him getting in. Too many players with good resumes so it would almost have to be luck of the draw. And while SB appearances alone shouldn't dictate things, they are a factor when a player did great in the championship games and SBs. Or when a player was invisible. Marshall has zero sacks vs Miami, Pittsburgh, and Oakland (1 vs KC). And although rushing was in vogue back then, they ran all over the Vikings to the tune of 196, 249, 266 yards respectively. And Foreman, no.
