Drafted in the 3rd Round out of Tennessee in 2003, Witten would see significant playing time in his rookie year, but in 2004 he would rise to Pro Bowl status with a 980 Yard season. This was the first of many seasons in which the Dallas Cowboys would consider him an elite Tight End.

From 2005 to 2010 he would be named to six more Pro Bowls, which would also include two First Team All Pro Selections. Four more Pro Bowls would follow (2012-14 & 2017). Four of his seasons would see Witten exceed over 90 Receptions and 1,000 Yards, incredible numbers for a Tight End.

Witten first retired after the 2017 season with 11 Pro Bowls and went into the broadcast booth for ESPN for their Monday Night Football package.  He unretired in 2019, joined the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020, and retired for good.

Witten retired as the all-time Cowboys leader in Receptions (1,215) and Receiving Yards (12,977), with 13,046 Yards and 74 Touchdowns in total, behind only Tony Gonzalez among Tight Ends.

Greg Olsen played his college football at the University of Miami where he would become one of the top Tight Ends in the 2007 Draft, taken 31^st overall by the Chicago Bears.  Olsen did well, peaking with 612 Yards in 2009, but he was traded to the Carolina Panthers for a Third Round pick before the 2011 season.

With the Panthers, Olsen continued his work catching passes and blocking potential tacklers.  Already good at both disciplines, Olsen took it to another level, recording three consecutive 1,000 Yard seasons, all of which earned him a trip to the Pro Bowl.  

Injuries took their toll on Olsen, and his production dipped.  He played with Carolina until 2019, and had one final season with the Seattle Seahawks.

Olsen left professional football with 8,683 Yards and 60 Touchdowns.

Anthony Sharman was drafted as a Running Back from UConn, but it was his blocking ability that propelled him to a ten-year career in the NFL.

Sharman played his first two seasons in Arizona, but his final eight in Kansas City where as a Fullback he was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2018, and a Super Bowl Champion the following year.

A legend of rock and R&B has passed away as Lloyd Price died from diabetes at the age of 88.  Price died on May 3, but it was only announced yesterday.

Price had a number one hit on the R&B Charts in 1952 with “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” in 1952, and his next four singles also went to the top five.  His career stalled after a stint in the army, but in 1958, in what was now the rock and roll era, he was back with the controversial “Stagger Lee”, a song that went to the top of both the R&B and Hot 100.  Shortly after, Price went #1 on the R&B Chart (and #2 on the Hot 100) with “Personality”, the song that would become his signature.

Price had five more top-five hits on the R&B Chart, and remained an active performer until 2019.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends, fans and family of Lloyd Price.
