Did he get his bust in the HOF?

Our own Rohn Stark played 16 NFL seasons, which is pretty incredible. Stark actually had a higher punting average than did Guy (43.4 vs. 42.4).....I think a case can be made that Rohn should also be in the HoF, although I doubt that the momentum can be built for him.

Guy was obviously great, but he entered the League with great fanfare since he was a 1st round pick. And he played on some great teams, which also gave him added exposure and notoriety.
