NFL HoF Will Shields & Mick Tingelhoff

[TraCHusker]

As one of the NFL’s greatest iron men prepares for his Hall of Fame induction Saturday, his friends tell the stories he can’t. They try to come to peace with this reality: The attributes that made the 75-year-old Tingelhoff an all-time great are likely the same attributes that damaged his brain.

The word that comes up in almost every conversation about Tingelhoff’s induction is “finally.”

Sometimes it’s one of his older sisters. Sometimes it’s an ex-teammate. Sometimes it’s former Vikings coach Bud Grant.

“I don’t want to say this wrong,” Grant said last summer when Tingelhoff was named a finalist. “But he’s more deserving than some of the guys that have gotten in. ... Justice has finally been served.”
