John Niland won the starting job at Left Guard for good in his second season in the NFL (1967) with the Dallas Cowboys, and would then go on to stake a claim as one of the elite Offensive Guards in the National Football League.  Niland would be named to the next six Pro Bowls and landed a pair of First Team All-Pros in the process (1971 & 1972).  The former Iowa Hawkeye would win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys in Super Bowl VI, and his upper-echelon blocking played a large part in that historic championship.

A First Round Pick from Stanford in 1969, Gene Washington was part of the turnaround for the San Francisco 49ers from league doormats to respectability.  In his first four seasons in the National Football League, Washington made the Pro Bowl, earning First Team All-Pro honors in three of those years.

In 1970, Washington would have his best season, with his 1,100 Receiving Yards seeing him capture the league lead, and he would again finish at the top of another statistical category in 1972 with his 12 Touchdown Receptions.  Save for his final campaign with the Detroit Lions, Washington would play all of his career with the Niners and would accumulate 60 Touchdowns in total.

Nolan Cromwell played his entire career with the Los Angeles Rams (1977-87), and after winning the starting free safety job in 1979, he became one of the top Defensive Backs in the early 1980s, where his ability to anticipate routes had few equals.

From 1980 to 1983, Cromwell went to the Pro Bowl, and he earned First Team All-Pro honors in the first three of those years.  Notably, in his fourth Pro Bowl (1983), he earned that accolade as a strong safety rather than his previous position at free safety. Overall, he recorded 37 Interceptions over his career and was often used on special teams as one of the most reliable holders in history.

After his playing career ended, Cromwell became a successful coach, most notably winning a Super Bowl XXXI Ring as the Wide Receivers Coach for the Green Bay Packers.

Buford "Baby" Ray played college ball at Vanderbilt, and while no NFL team drafted him in 1938, he signed with the Green Bay Packers.  He played his entire career in Wisconsin, spanning 11 seasons.  Ray played primarily at Left Tackle, where he helped the team win the 1938 and 1944 NFL Championships.  He would be named by UPI as an All-Pro four times (one First Team and three Second Team) and would be a Pro Bowl Selection in 1939.

Ray was named to the NFL 1940s All-Decade Team.
