Makes sense, his best years were with the Vikings and he has tons of fans with #28 jerseys!

We got the best of him as a player and the worst of him (I hope ) as a person.  I dont care either way.  Some will get all giddy but for me it will be a meh moment.

Vikings will finally have their HOF RB. That's means forever enshrined. So in years to come when people forget the bad, there's plenty,  he will still be among the Vikings in that great honor.

Chuck should be the first Vikings HOF back.

Chuck will never get enough votes now. imo. Too few remember now how he was used and how he changed the position to what it would become. Voters only see rushing yard, titles and longevity.  Chuck is rushing up hill at this point to get called.

Agreed. Chuck will only make it on a veterans HOF type deal if at all.

I'd be ok with that at this point...

I believe he never got the credit he deserved. I believe he was a great back. I just don't believe he will ever get recognised now though unfortunately.  Every back now is asked to do the things he did in the passing game then. It's like so...why is he so important? Pioneers should be recognized.

This made me happy to read. They AD/Vikings "break up" seemed pretty messy, I'm glad he recognizes that his best years came in Minnesota. Hopefully he also recognizes how much the team did for him (and vice versa). Great player.

Which is exactly why a veterans committee was formed.  To correct the oversights of the past.  There are few greater oversights on the matter than a pro football HOF without Chuck Foreman.
