237. Clem Daniels

Clem Daniels was signed as an undrafted (by both the NFL and AFL) by the Dallas Texans, but playing behind Abner Haynes in 1960 meant that you weren't going to see much playing time if you were a Halfback.  Daniels was traded to the Oakland Raiders, where he worked his way into the starting rotation, and from 1962 to 1966, he would finish in the top three in All-Purpose Yards.  Daniels went on a four-year streak of AFL All-Star Selections in 1963, and that year The Sporting News would name Daniels their version of the MVP as he was the league leader in Rushing Yards, Yards From Scrimmage and Yards per Reception.  Later in his career, although he was beaten up, he would help Oakland win the 1967 AFL Championship.
