A Cleveland Browns member for his entire career, Gary Collins was the 4^th Overall pick in 1962, and as a rookie, the Wide Receiver wasn't targeted much but served as the team's Punter, a role he held for six seasons.  In his sophomore season, he integrated into the Browns’ offense and finished atop the leaderboard in Touchdown Receptions with 13.  After helping the Browns capture the NFL Championship in 1964, Collins had a two-year Pro Bowl streak, with trips to the game in 1965 and 1966.  In both of those years, he had at least 880 Yards and 10 TDs.

Named to the 1960's All-Decade Team, Collins would catch 331 passes for 5,299 Yards and a whopping 70 TDs, the latter being an impressive number considering the number of catches he had.

The hard-luck Cincinnati Bengals have yet to win a Super Bowl, but it was Boomer Esiason who brought them closer than anyone else had when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers on a last-minute drive in Super Bowl XXIII.  Fortunately for Esiason, his career did not need a Super Bowl Ring to be considered great.

Replacing the productive Ken Anderson, the powerful southpaw became one of the premier Quarterbacks in the league.  During his time in Cincinnati, Esiason was a consistent producer, and he turned the Bengals into a high-powered attack.  Mastering the play-action pass, Boomer used his strength and speed and consistently produced high-yardage games.

Boomer Esiason may be best known to younger football fans as a competent broadcaster, but he is still revered in Southern Ohio.  He may have done enough to at least get on the ballot one day, but in this age of the Quarterback, his all-time statistical rankings will likely plummet in the near future.
