Grady Alderman is one of the forgotten stars of the Minnesota Vikings.  In the 1960s, Alderman went to six Pro Bowls and earned First Team All-Pro honors in 1969.  The “Last of the Original Vikings” would go on to have a successful career as an executive with the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos.

A star Wide Receiver at San Diego State, Kassim Osgood went undrafted in 2003 and had to fight his way onto the Chargers roster.  He would make it, and would go to three Pro Bowls, though none of them would be at Wide Receiver, where he would be used sparingly over his career.  Rather, his star would rise on Special Teams.

Perhaps one of the greatest Return Specialists of all time, Josh Cribbs brought a lot of excitement to the Cleveland Browns.  The star from Kent State would leas the entire NFL in All Purpose Yards in 2007 and in 2009 would be named the NFL Alumni Special Teams Player of the Year.  He would accumulate over 15,000 All Purpose Yards, a huge number considering that he didn’t do much other than Special Teams.  He would be named to three Pro Bowls for his efforts in that capacity.
