While Goose Gonsoulin was a 17^th Round Pick by the San Francisco 49ers, the Baylor Bear was a 2^nd Rounder by the Denver Broncos of the AFL, the professional team he elected to play for.

It was a good move for both sides, and the original Bronco was a First Team All-Pro and the inaugural AFL leader in Interceptions as a rookie.  Gonsoulin would go on to have five AFL All-Star Game appearances and another First Team All-Pro Selection, and while the Broncos were not particularly strong when he was there, he was undoubtedly a bright spot of the organization.

At the time of his signing with the 49ers in 1967 (he only played one year before retiring), he was the AFL's all-time leader in Interceptions with 40.  He later made the AFL All-Time 2^nd Team and was part of Denver's inaugural Ring of Fame Class.

Jerry Norton began his professional football career in 1954 with the Philadelphia Eagles, starting as a Safety, then playing halfback before returning to safety.  Norton was also an excellent Punter, and in 1957 he would lead the league in Punts and Punting Yards.  He was traded to the Chicago Cardinals (which would become the St. Louis Cardinals) before 1959, where he played safety and Punter, and he continued a five-year streak of Pro Bowls that began in Philadelphia.  Norton again led the NFL in Punts and Punting Yards in 1960, the same season he led the league in Interceptions (10).  He would accumulate 35 picks in total.

Late in his career as a Green Bay Packer, he would act solely as a Punter.

From the University of Kentucky, Bob Talamini would play his entire nine-year professional career in the American Football League.  The first eight of those campaigns were with the Houston Oilers, where the Left Guard was a six-time AFL All-Star (1962-67) who played his way into three First Team All-Pros.  The Oilers were one of the league's powers, and Talamini was part of the first two AFL Titles (1960 & 1961); after his run with Houston, he played one final year with the New York Jets.  

That year, he was part of the history-making team that won Super Bowl III.  Not a bad way to finish your career!

One of the better Guards of the early days of football, Swede Youngstrom, was the stabilizing force behind the Buffalo All-American/Bisons teams that twice came within a game of the NFL Championship.  Twice a First Team All-Pro (1923 & 1924), the expert Lineman was one of the best at his side of the ball, and while it was not recorded officially, it is believed that he was one of the top punt blockers of his time.  Late in his career, he would help the Frankford Yellow Jackets win the NFL Championship in 1926.  He played one more year in the NFL, again with Frankford, where he served as their player-coach.
