The Dallas Cowboys had ideas for Mark Stepnoski when they drafted him in the 3rd Round from the University of Pittsburgh. Dallas converted him from Offensive Guard to Center, a position he had never played before; however, they did not rush him, easing him to the position learning from the incumbent, Tom Rafferty.
We can't say enough about the AFL's Buffalo Bill defense of the 1960s, a unit that doesn't get the due that it should. This is a team that would win the 1964 and 1965 AFL Title, but most people remember the four straight failures in the Super Bowl in the early 90s. We remember.
Born in Russia but immigrating to Wisconsin at the age of four, Charles "Buckets" Goldenberg would play college football in his home state of Wisconsin and would remain in the “Badger State” as a professional by signing with the Green Bay Packers in 1933. The Packers would be the only team he would play for and would stay with until…
A member of the NFL 2000’s All-Decade Team, Joey Porter had a very productive run in the National Football League, especially with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he won a Super Bowl Ring. The four-time Pro Bowl Linebacker fell two Sacks shy of the 100 mark and would be regarded as one of the dirtiest defensive players of his time, but…
While it can be argued that Andre “Bad Moon” Rison will always be best known for his tumultuous relationship with Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes (she infamously burned his house down), we here at Notinhalloffame.com think of Rison as a flashy Wide Receiver who backed up his smack talk.
Used as both a Linebacker and a Guard, Bill Forester arguably was at his best on the defensive side of the gridiron. A 3rd Round Pick from SMU in 1953, Forester played his entire career with the Green Bay Packers, where he went from the outhouse to the penthouse. Green Bay was in a down period in the '50s but…
Making four consecutive Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro Selection, Asante Samuel was an integral part of a pair of Super Bowl Championships by the New England Patriots. Samuel would lead the National Football League in Interceptions twice and would become one of the more recognized Defensive Backs in the NFL.
From the University of Minnesota, Rick Upchurch came to the Denver Broncos in 1975, and like many Wide Receivers, he was used as a returner as a rookie. This was the role in which he was he would primarily be used in his first four seasons. In that time span, he was a Pro Bowler and a First Team All-Pro…
Although he became known for the sexual assault case in 2014 (which alleged that he was a serial rapist), Darren Sharper was known mostly on the gridiron for his defensive skills and for leading the National Football League in Interception Return Yards three times.
Undrafted out of Louisville, Frank Minnifield quickly found a home in the USFL, where he played for the Chicago Blitz and the Arizona Wranglers briefly before he sued his way out of the league to play for the Cleveland Browns.
Houston Antwine eschewed the Detroit Lions of the NFL for the Boston Patriots of the AFL, which appeared by all counts to be the correct decision.
Bruce Armstrong would start all 212 of his games at Left Tackle in a career that was spent exclusively with the New England Patriots. Armstrong's career predated the Brady dynasty, so he is not as celebrated as he should be, but this is a six-time Pro Bowl Selection who was also a Second Team All-Pro twice. He was also a…
The San Diego Chargers took Ohio State Buckeye Offensive Lineman, Jim Lachey, 12th Overall in 1985, and he would be plugged in immediately as the Bolts’ starting Left Tackle.
John Niland won the starting job at Left Guard for good in his second season in the NFL (1967) with the Dallas Cowboys, and would then go on to stake a claim as one of the elite Offensive Guards in the National Football League. Niland would be named to the next six Pro Bowls and landed a pair of First…
Born in Italy and raised in the United States, Bruno Banducci played his college ball for Stanford but was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1944. Banducci was more at home in 1946 when the Guard joined the San Francisco 49ers of the upstart All-American Football Conference. Banducci stayed there for the remainder of his career, which included the migration…
Playing his entire NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings, Matt Blair was one of the quickest players in football, using his speed at the Outside Linebacker position to bottle up opposing offensive stars. Blair would have a six-year streak of Pro Bowls from 1977 to 1982, with 1980 seeing him earn a First Team All-Pro Selection. Blair was not just…
Ralph Neely was drafted by the Houston Oilers of the American Football League and the Baltimore Colts of the NFL, and he had secretly agreed to play for the Oilers (it was kept a secret so that he could play for the University of Oklahoma in the Gator Bowl).
From San Diego State, La’Roi Glover took a longer path for NFL stardom. He was a 5th Round Pick with the Oakland Raiders, but they would cut him a year later, and he would be picked up by the New Orleans Saints. In New Orleans, he became a star, and in 2000 he would be named a First Team All-Pro,…
Fuzzy Thurston may never have made a Pro Bowl, but we have no problem ranking him high on this list.
