Ed White was a consensus All-American at the University of California and split his 17-year professional career in the NFL between the Minnesota Vikings and San Diego Chargers.

White was part of several successful Vikings teams that made multiple Super Bowl runs, and he played a major role in protecting Fran Tarkenton and other offensive weapons.  The Guard was traded to San Diego, helped protect another Hall of Fame quarterback, Dan Fouts, and earned four Pro Bowl selections.

White played in 241 Games, and is one of the most tenured Offensive Lineman in NFL history.

A two-time Morris Trophy winner at California, Alex Mack was a First Round Pick in 2009 (21^st Overall) by the Cleveland Browns, and he stepped in immediately under Quarterback and under the tutelage of future Hall of Fame lineman Joe Thomas, and made the Pro Bowl in his sophomore season.  A Pro Bowler again in 2013 and 2015, Mack joined the Atlanta Falcons, where he earned three more Pro Bowl Selections, before finishing his career in 2021 as a San Francisco 49er, where he earned Pro Bowl number seven.

Anyone who plays 225 Games defensively in the National Football League is without question a double-tough competitor, and that is what we have in the run-stuffing Linebacker, Hardy Nickerson.

Nickerson was named to five Pro Bowls, all as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his second team after spending six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.  With Tampa, he was also named a First Team and Second Team All-Pro twice and led the league in Tackles in 1993.  Nickerson would retire with over 1,500 Combined Tackles and would also be named a 1990’s Second Team All-Decade Selection.
