Like many in the early '60s, Fred Arbanas was drafted by both the NFL and the AFL, but usually, those who chose the AFL were drafted higher by the new organization.  This wasn't the case with Arbanas, who was a 7^th Round Selection by the Dallas Texans, where the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2^nd Round.

No matter, as Arbanas would go on to the All-AFL Team at Tight End.  He was an AFL All-Star as a rookie, and with the Texans, he helped them win the Championship, but the organization relocated to Kansas City, where it was rechristened the Chiefs.  Arbanas continued his elite status at TE, earning four more AFL All-Star selections and three First Team All-Pro honors(1963, 1964 & 1966).  He helped Kansas City win the AFL title in 1966 and 1969, the latter when he won his only Super Bowl Ring (IV).

Arbanas retired after 1970, recording 3,101 Yards and 34 Touchdowns, both high numbers for someone who played his position in the 1960s.

A star at the University of Indiana, Earl Faison elected to go to the San Diego Chargers in 1961, who drafted him in the 1^st Round as opposed to the Detroit Lions of the NFL, who chose him in the 5^th.  Faison was an instant stud, using his sheer power to win the AFL Rookie of the Year.  The Defensive End would earn First Team All-Pro in four of his first five years, only missing out on 1962 because injuries reduced him to only eight games.  Amazingly, he was still named an AFL All-Star that year, and as you would expect, he was one every other year of his first half-decade in Pro Football.

As good as Faison was, back issues rapidly caught up with him, and the Chargers dispatched him to the Miami Dolphins, and his career was over shortly after.  His career may not have lasted long, but few had that level of dominance.

Bruce Armstrong would start all 212 of his games at Left Tackle in a career that was spent exclusively with the New England Patriots.  Armstrong's career predated the Brady dynasty, so he isn’t as celebrated as he should be, but he is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and a two-time Second Team All-Pro.  He was also a member of the All-Rookie Team in 1987.

A 15^th Round Pick from Widener, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson would become one of the most exciting players in the National Football League almost as soon as he arrived.  Chosen by the Houston Oilers, Johnson played at Wide Receiver (accumulating 4,211 Yards with 25 Touchdowns over his career), but it was as a returner that he excelled and made magic happen. 

As a rookie (1974), he would lead the NFL in Return Yards (1,194), and he would finish in the top five in that stat the next three years.  Johnson would become known for his touchdown dances (he is believed to have been the first to do that) and bright white shoes (hence the nickname).

After his run with the Oilers ended in 1980, he played a season in the Canadian Football League, then returned to play five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and another with the Washington Redskins.  Johnson would go to three Pro Bowls (two with Houston and one with Atlanta) and had 10,785 All-Purpose Yards over his career.

Johnson would be named to both the 1970s and 1980s All-Decade Team.  How many Hall of Famers can say that they have been selected to two of them?
