George Allen's Evaluations of Three Hall of Fame Tackles

 By John Turney

Today we will post the evaluations for Dan Dierdorf, and George Kunz and Rayfield Wright. We didn't find the Ron Yary or Art Shell evaluations wile in Pacific Palisades doing research on the Late-George Allen's library. In coming days we will post more of Allen's work, but we found the tackles quite interesting.
