Ray Wietecha played his entire 10-year NFL career with the New York Giants, where he was the literal centerpiece (he played Center) of a robust Offensive Line.  Helping the G-Men win an NFL Championship in 1956, Wietecha had strong individual seasons, earning four Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro nod.  In his last season (1962), he was named a Second Team All-Pro and arguably could have continued his playing career, but he elected to become a coach instead.

He would later win two Super Bowl Rings under the legendary Vince Lombardi as the Green Bay Packers Offensive Coordinator.

From Howard Payne, Ken Gray is arguably the best NFL player to ever come out of that small institution.  Gray played predominantly at Offensive Guard and was with the Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals for 12 of his 13 seasons, where he was a 6^th Round Pick in 1958.  Gray was a six-time Pro Bowl Selection and was twice chosen to be a First Team All-Pro.

E.J. Holub was an All-American at Texas Tech, where he was such a great player that the Red Raiders would later retire his number.  Drafted 6^th overall by the Dallas Texans in 1961, Holub played linebacker, and in the first five of his six years, he was an AFL All-Star and was named a First Team All-Pro in both 1962 and 1963.  In those two seasons, he finished sixth and third, respectively, in Approximate Value, a testament to his skill.

A member of the AFL Championship Team in 1962 with Dallas and 1966 in Kansas City, when the franchise relocated, Holub’s mounting knee issues saw him move to center, where he would play the last half of his career until he retired after 1970.  He won a third AFL Title in 1969 and a Super Bowl that year.

Used as both a Linebacker and a Guard, Bill Forester arguably was at his best on the defensive side of the gridiron.  A 3^rd Round Pick from SMU in 1953, Forester played his entire career with the Green Bay Packers, where he went from the outhouse to the penthouse.  Green Bay was in a down period in the '50s but slowly worked its way toward respectability, and Forester was a big part of that.  He really came into his own in 1959, when he earned his first of four straight Pro Bowls, with the last three earning him First Team All-Pro honors.  By this time, Forester was mostly used at Linebacker gobbling up rushers and acting as a veteran presence.  He would help the Pack win the NFL Championship in 1961 and 1962.
