Former Dolphin Bob Kuechenberg not advancing to final Hall of Fame vote

Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Seniors Committee met on Tuesday to finalize a group of three Seniors that would be considered for the 2023 Hall of Fame class.

Of the 12 former players considered, the Hall of Fame announced that only Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko and Ken Riley advanced to the final stage of the process, meaning former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bob Kuechenberg was left out again.

Kuechenberg played with the Dolphins from 1970-83, and during his time wearing the aqua and orange, he made six Pro Bowls, three All-Pro teams and won two Super Bowls.

According to the release from the Hall of Fame, Kuechenberg, along with Randy Gradishar and Sterling Sharpe, made it to the final six players before the vote down to three.

For now, Kuechenberg’s highest football honor is being inducted into the Dolphins’ Honor Roll.
