289. Swede Youngstrom
One of the better Guards of the early days of football, Swede Youngstrom, was the stabilizing force behind the Buffalo All-American/Bisons teams that twice came within a game of the NFL Championship.  Twice a First Team All-Pro (1923 & 1924), the expert Lineman was one of the best at his side of the ball, and while it was not recorded officially, it is believed that he was one of the top punt blockers of his time.  Late in his career, he would help the Frankford Yellow Jackets win the NFL Championship in 1926.  He would play one more year in the NFL, again with Frankford where he served as their Player/Coach.
