It's crazy i have never heard of this man after looking over his resume i don't understand why he isn't in the hall of fame he should've been in decades ago i hope they let him in before he passes because at his age he doesn't have a lot of time left
Karl Mecklenburg, Tom Nalen, Dennis Smith, Tom Jackson, Rod Smith, Tombstone Jackson. Add Lionel Taylor to the list of forgotten Broncos players who never got the Hall of Fame consideration they deserved. At least Randy Gradishar finally got in this year to remind people that Denver did in fact go to a Super Bowl in the 70s.
john madden isnt in the hall of fame because he was the coach of the raiders. he is in because of his overall contributions to the game. the same goes for steve sabol. lionel taylor shouldnt go in because of his player career. he should go in for the totality of his football career.
No longer just a secret in Denver. Lionel Taylor. One of many former Denver Broncos who should be acknowledged as National Football League Hall of Famers. Do the right thing Hall of Fame. DO YOUR JOB!!!! There will be more to come.
@waddlesvlogs3829 It is the pro football hall of fame. Just the NFL says that but then look at the players and people going in. Do you see any CFL players , coaches, or gms outside of Warren Moon? Herschel Walker has an awesome 3 year career with USFL add his rushing number from that league he is in the top 10 last time I checked. Still not in HOF.
Once again NFL HOF committee going to wait until Mr. Taylor is on his last life to try and get him inducted, let these living legends have the chance and ability to speak for themselves by honoring them correctly.
How about the other LT. He became so feared that offenses had to add blocking schemes just to stop him & they never did. He changed the games offense forever by then always had to be aware where was #56 at the line of scrim. Just ask Joe Thiesman on a sack on Monday night football. He broke his leg on national TV.
Really every team game planning around you....yea wear n tear...push you out of a league... that was like gladiator days compared to todays soft generation wearing the walkie talkie helmets....taking a protocal day off...making millions.....
Wow, just found his highlights on UA-cam. This man played football when it was tough as nails.... ❤❤ ua-cam.com/video/i34GBI40j50/v-deo.htmlsi=KYbYBPiBpoxgYBka No silly looking "celebrations", just smooth as silk TDs. .... Legend.... no doubt. He deserves to be in the NFL HOF.
I love his last words. "I tried my best." We should all try our best. Thanks for this wonderful story and thanks for all you did, Mr. Taylor!
It's crazy how his story is just being told. ..glad to see the fans still remember him and showing him love
Wait, why isn't this guy in the Hall of Fame? He has the resume.
he played in Denver
It’s a disgrace that he’s not in the HOF! I urge everyone to write or call Canton to demand his induction, while he’s alive to attend.
Did you?
Ty for this NFL!! ✌️🇺🇲
Come on Canton, get him in HOF!

A real unsung hero for all fans of this game.
Life long Denver fan. Proud of this man, Go Broncos! Mile High 4 Life!

Mecklenburg and Rod Smith aren't in The Hall?! that's criminal...
This back in the days before receivers had gloves which are like having glue traps on their hands.
Great video. Loved the editing on this one
This guy and Jim Marshall both belong in the HOF
Agreed. Get these two into the HOF 🏈!!!
As a Lifelong Rams fan, I agree.

lionel taylor shouldnt go in because of his player career. he should go in for the totality of his football career.
This is essentially an advertisement for him getting in next year. I hope he is able and healthy enough then, to attend
Excellent piece. Such a great football life
Great video. I was aware of his playing career but not his long coaching career. Hopefully he will get into the Hall of Fame during his lifetime.
This man is the a fantasy receiver god in the 60s lol
Love the old unis

Stars of the old AFL -- Lionel Taylor, Dave Grayson, Gino Cappelletti to name a few -- have been stiffed for decades by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
You forgot to mention that he was a Tight -End Coach of The Cleveland Browns, and The Head Coach of The Texas Southern Tigers.
Please put him into the hall of fame NFL! 🙏
What a cool guy
time to make a fan vote for the HOF so this man will actually get in
Let’s get this right asap
9:27 Texas Southern
dude was huge
Just a brilliant football mind 😊
Happy for him
They should have been offered to take him to see his bust, crazy.
AFL guy. NFL doesn't like putting AFL guys in the hall.
I believe it’s the pro football hof not the nfl hof so sounds like the nfl should have no control over it. (Not a shot at you just speaking my mind)

How’s he not in the HOF?!
Why is Lionel Taylor not in The HOF, I'll never know.
If you dont stay on the first your company is cheaping out. Logistically it just makes sense!
This man deserves to see himself be enshrined in the HOF.
INDUCT HIM NFL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #ICantMakeThisUp
Once again NFL HOF committee going to wait until Mr. Taylor is on his last life to try and get him inducted, let these living legends have the chance and ability to speak for themselves by honoring them correctly.
CALLING ALL SSC IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS 👇
And NO sticky gloves like they all wear today.
How old is he? He does not seem to have CTE
Damnnn…💧💧🤧💧💧…..allergies
Didnt even realize he was black until they said he was .. so used to black coaches now...

Did you watch the video? Or you wrote this beforehand?
