Todd Christensen was one of the best tight ends in the 1980s when he played for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders. He has failed to make it on the Hall of Fame ballot as a finalist or semi-finalist. At what point does it hurt Canton's validity?
Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders tight end Todd Christensen is criminally overlooked by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has not made it on the semi-finalist or finalist ballot.
Casper played from 1974 to 1984. Christensen played from 1979-1988. They played in the same era. This is not the equivalent of comparing Christensen to Antonio Gates. Christensen and Casper are peers. Of course, Christensen was a trailblazer, becoming the first-ever 90-reception tight end by snagging a league-leading 92 passes in 1983. He would do it again in 1986, with another league-leading 95 receptions. Casper never led the league in receptions.Casper had Hall of Fame quarterback Ken Stabler. Christensen never so much as had a Pro Bowl quarterback.
