Alabama and Oakland Raider great Kenny "The Snake" Stabler is finally where he belongs, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Stabler was enshrined into the hall Saturday in an emotional ceremony. Stabler was inducted via video by his Oakland coach John Madden, who was represented at the ceremony by Raiders receiver and Stabler teammate Fred Biletnikoff. Stabler was inducted by the veterans committee after having to wait much too long for the honor.
Stabler, who passed away from colon cancer in July of 2015, waited 32 years to be inducted into the Hall. Stabler received The Associated Press' NFL MVP Award in 1974 and the Bert Bell Award as the NFL's Player of the Year in 1976. He went to four Pro Bowls and was the All-Pro QB in 1974. He has a career record of 96-49-1 record as an NFL starting QB - a .661 winning percentage.
His twin grandsons helped in the unveiling of his bust in a very emotional moment.
