Undrafted from Rutgers, Bill Pellington would be an excellent sign for the Baltimore Colts as he would play 141 Games starting all but one of them at Linebacker.  His peers would regard Pellington as one of the most vicious players in the game, and he would accumulate 21 Interceptions, an excellent tally for his position.  A member of Baltimore's two Championship Teams in 1958 and 1959, Pellington would be named a Second Team All-Pro in 1964, which was his final season in the NFL.

We almost forgot about him!

There are many forgotten players in the history of the NFL, which needless to say is the case for many an NFL team.  This is especially true if that franchise relocates.

T.Y. Hilton is still with the Indianapolis Colts as of this writing, which is to date the only NFL team that he ever played for.  He started as a special teams player, but his play and injuries to his teammates moved him to a featured position on the Colts offense, punctuated by five 1,000 Yard years, and the Receivining Yards title in 2016 (1,448).  To date, he has been named to four Pro Bowls and has over 9,000 Yards and counting, though based on his last two seasons, Hilton is in decline.  

Regardelss, of his best years being behind him, Hilton will go down as one of the top Wide Receivers in franchise history.
