1. He was a Raider in the 70's. If you played for Oakland or Pittsburgh, you were considered a bad guy.
2. He paralyzed Darryl Stingley during a pre-season game and never reconciled.
3. He relished the nickname "the Assassin" and even wrote 3 books about his exploits in the NFL.
Personally, I think he belongs in the HOF. In a league that prides itself on toughness, Jack Tatum has no equal. None. Ever.
