Cliff Harris was in five Super Bowls and was a Pro Bowler six consecutive seasons.

Cliff Branch was a 3 time Super Bowl winner, 4 time Pro Bowler and 3 Time All Pro First Team.

Roger Craig was the RB for all those great 49er teams in the 80s. He was a 3x Superbowl winner, won an NFC offensive POY,  4 x Pro Bowl and 1 x All Pro.

Any of those guys is deserving and more so than the Coaches or Owners.

I believe they can vote in up to 2 coaches, 10 players, and 3 contributors for the NFL 100 veterans class.

I can't remember what happened to Craig . . . didn't he get hurt? From 1983-1989, he racked up 10,646 YFS and 74 total TD (regular and post season numbers combined). But over his last 4 years (Niners - Vikings - Raiders), he could only account for 2,375 YFS and 8 TD (regular and post season). He basically dropped from 1775/12 per year to 600/2 per year. I get that most of that is due to not seeing the ball as much (and some of that is due to leaving the 49ers), but it seems like a huge drop off.
