Rams Considering Henry Ellard For WR Coaching Job, Per Report

Last I heard he was helping with the bears receivers or something. Anybody know what he’s up to? I think he’d be a great coach for the young receivers. I’d be stoked about Ellard though too.

Ellard brings back memories of what used to be. Lofton was a great receiver & can pass along a plethora of knowledge to our young corps

Ellard is a boss.

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch updates Rams coaching moves after the team reached agreement with Dave McGinnis to join the staff as assistant head coach. Thomas: “Several other staff additions appear to be in the works but have not been made official, including Paul Boudreau as offensive line coach, Mike Waufle as defensive line coach, Rob Boras as tight ends coach and Tim Walton for what could be a job as assistant defensive coordinator/passing game.”

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jeremiah Ellard. I am a longtime fan of the sport of football and enjoy every minute of every game! With this week being HOF weekend. I just wanted to know some information about how players are submitted to the voters to be evaluated for the hall. My uncle is Henry Ellard, he played for the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Redskins, of course. I just wanted to know if fans or viewers can propose players as well? If so, I would like to offer my uncle’s name for the following induction ceremony. I believe my uncle was one of the most consistent and productive players to ever play the WR position. He may not have been the biggest, fastest or most flashy player; yet, he was still reliable. There were times when he was a league leader in different categories, during his prime, however he never got the chance to reach a superbowl. Him never reaching a superbowl, I feel, is what leaves him out of many HOF discussions. Much like Peyton Manning’s talent’s were questioned before he finally won Superbowl 41. Although winning a superbowl is a great achievement, it should be added to a player’s values and not take away from them. Winning a superbowl takes an entire team. No one player can get there alone. Therefore I don’t believe not winning a superbowl should hinder a player’s chance of entering the HOF. Henry Ellard maintains records far superior to other player’s who have been selected for the HOF. A few of these records include:

Receptions: Ellard-814 HOF: James Lofton-764, Charlie Joiner-750, Michael Irvin-750

Rec TD’s: Ellard-65 HOF: Tied with- Michael Irvin, Charlie Joiner & Bobby Mitchell
More than- John Stallworth-63, Lynn Swann-51

Rec Yards: Ellard-13,777 HOF: Art Monk-12,721, Michael Irvin-11,834,
(9th Alltime) John Stallworth 8,723 and Lynn Swann- 5,462

Yards/Rec avg: Ellard-16.9 HOF: Lynn Swann-16.3, John Stallworth-16.2

Yards/Game avg: Ellard-60.4 HOF: James Lofton-60.1, John Stallworth-52.9,
Charlie Joiner-50.8

This is where Henry Ellard succeeds other HOFamers in receiving. He also was a league leader is punt and kickoff returns. He was atop the league between 1983-1985 in punt return yardage and TD’s. I believe my uncle made his mark in the NFL record books and although he has been surpassed my those who came after him, it does not take away from the records he set during the 1980’s and 1990’s. For this reason, and many others, I believe my uncle, Henry Ellard, should be considered for enshrinement into the NFL Hall of Fame. If any of you agree with me join my push and write to:

Pro Football Hall of Fame
2121 George Halas Drive NW
Canton, OH 44708
ATTN: Selection Process

This was a letter I wrote on my uncle’s behave to make an attempt to get his name tossed around in the Canton discussion. I hope he gets enshrined one day! I believe he deserves it and I find many ppl who have the same belief. Hopefully, the voters will one day agree and see how much work he put into his career and just how successful and productive he was as a NFL player. He’s had an effect on the league as much as many other WR’s who are more famous than he is. Why do we reward boisterous and outlandish personalities like T.O or Randy Moss, but forget about the “classy” players like my uncle or Marvin Harrison? Players who are every bit of a Professional!!!
