    Roger Brown should be nominated by the Senior comittee. He played alongside some of the greates defensive lineman in the nfl. Deacon Jones Merlin Olsen, as well as playing on two of the toughest defenses of the 60's. The Detroit LIons and The LA Rams, where he was a member of the Fearsome Foursome. How he is overlooked all these years is unfair. He deserves his due.
