In the early 1970s, the Miami Dolphins were one of the best teams ever and loaded with talent, but one of their stars, Dick Anderson, seems to have been forgotten.  Let's try to rectify that.

Anderson was drafted in 1968, and as a rookie, he led the league in Interception Return Yards, a feat he repeated in 1970.  The Safety couldn't sneak up on anyone anymore, but he raised his game further and went to the Pro Bowl three years in a row (1972 to 1974).  The first of those seasons was Miami's famed undefeated Super Bowl season, and the following season the Fins repeated the Super Bowl win, with Anderson leading the NFL in Interceptions and winning AP Defensive Player of the Year.  He would spend his entire career with Miami and had 34 picks.  Not too bad for a football player who looked like an accountant!

Considered to be one of the last great finds before the modern era of scouting, Willie Galimore was a 5^th Round Draft Pick in 1957 from Florida A&M.  Galimore was one of the quickest players in college, and that was the case when he went pro with the Chicago Bears.  Galimore would play seven seasons in the NFL, all with Chicago, and he would accumulate 4,186 Yards from Scrimmage, with three seasons seeing him finish in the top ten in Rushing Yards.  He helped the Bears win the 1963 NFL Championship, which unfortunately would be the last game he ever played.

Galimore died in a car crash before the start of the 1964 Season, thus ending his career, but he would be a precursor to many of the side-to-side rushers who would come after.  He is a far more influential player than most people realize.

Born in Russia and immigrating to Wisconsin at age four, Charles "Buckets" Goldenberg played college football in his home state and remained in the “Badger State” as a professional, signing with the Green Bay Packers in 1933.  The Packers were the only team he played for, and he stayed with them until 1945.  Goldenberg excelled at both sides of the ball and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1939, but more importantly, he helped the Packers win three NFL Championships (1936, 1939 & 1944).  He would be chosen for the 1930’s All-Decade Team.

Frank Cope was a member of the 1930's All-Decade Team, although most of his career took place in the 1940s.
