Known as the “guy who was traded for John Elway”, Chris Hinton had a pretty good career in own right, predominantly with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts.  Hinton would make six of his seven Pro Bowls with the Colts and while he wasn’t “John Elway”, who would have blocked for him had he come to Baltimore?  
Chris Hinton agrees!

Making history as the first African-American starting Center in NFL history, Ray Donaldson came out of the University to Georgia to spend thirteen seasons with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts.  Donaldson would go to four consecutive Pro Bowls in the late 1980’s and later in his career would win a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys.

A three-time Pro Bowl Selection for Baltimore in the 1970s, Lydell Mitchell was a major offensive cog in the Bert Jones led the team that won three straight divisions.  The Running Back out of Penn State put up three straight seasons where he would rush for over 1,000 Yards, but more notably he would lead the National Football League in Receptions, a rare feat for any non-Wide Receiver.  Mitchell also was the league-leader in Approximate Value in 1976.  Overall, Mitchell had 8,010 Yards From Scrimmage with 41 Touchdowns.
