There are only three seasons to draw from in the professional career of Gaynell Tinsley, but it was deemed good enough to get him an All-Decade Selection for the 1930s.

One of the great stars at LSU of the 1930s, Gaynell Tinsley, was a second-round pick in 1937, and he would dazzle as a rookie, where he led the NFL in Receiving Yards with 675, a record at the time.  Immediately, Tinsley became one of the NFL’s best receivers, a mantle he held again in 1938, when he ranked second in Receiving Yards (516) but led the league in Receptions.  He took 1939 off to focus on Baseball (he played in the minors), but he returned in 1940.  That comeback was short-lived as a torn ligament took him out, forcing him to end his season early.  He retired after that, but many considered him one of the best receivers of his era.

That fact alone should garner him Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration.

A member of the AFL All-Time Team, Jon Morris chose the Boston Patriots over Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers when both teams drafted him in 1964.

This was a bold decision to eschew Lombardi, don't you think?

Choosing the AFL gave Morris more playing time, but the Pats were far from the team they would become years later.  The 1960s Patriots didn't have many eyes on them, but those who did saw that Morris was a very good football player who helped block Jim Nance into two league rushing titles.  He was named an AFL All-Star in his first six years and was a Pro Bowl Selection the year after.  The center was also a First Team All-Pro twice and played 182 Games over his 15-year career.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were loaded with defensive weapons when they won Super Bowl XXVII and were an excellent team before and after.  The Bucs’ defense always gets the focus, and the offense is rarely discussed.  When it is, Mike Alstott is usually the first name that comes to mind.

Alstott was a vital cog of that Buccaneers team, and perhaps one of the last great Full Backs in the history of the game.  Alstott would go to six straight Pro Bowls (1997 to 2002) and was a First Team All-Pro in the first three.  He played his entire career with the Bucs, and he would score 71 Touchdowns with 7,372 Yards from Scrimmage, and could be the last great yard-accumulating fullback.

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.
