48. Lamar Lundy

Standing at 6' 7", Lamar Lundy might have been the most imposing figure of the Rams' famed "Fearsome Foursome" and was part of a revolution of sorts that helped to glorify modern defense.  The two-sport athlete (he was also a basketball player) was the first black player to receive an athletic scholarship at the University of Purdue, and he opted for a career in Pro Football much to the delight of Los Angeles Rams fans.

47. Andy Robustelli

Andy Robustelli was a late round pick from Arnold (the only player ever drafted from there), and he made the team at Defensive End where he would assist the Los Angeles Rams to win the 1951 Championship.  He would blossom into one of the top Defensive players in football, and he was either a First Team or Second Team All-Pro the next four years.  It should have continued, but Robustelli clashed with Rams management over their refusal to let him have some time to be with his new child.  He was traded to the New York Giants and would have a Hall of Fame career.  Maybe they should have let him take a couple of days off, don't you think?

46. Dave Elmendorf

From Texas A&M, Dave Elmendorf was drafted in the 3rd Round in 1971 and would spend all nine of his seasons in the National Football League with the Los Angeles Rams.  The Safety may never have been chosen for the Pro Bowl but he would play 130 Games in the NFL, and he started every single one of them.  He would net 27 Interceptions as a pro.

45. Marc Bulger

Marc Bulger had the dubious task of replacing Kurt Warner as the starting Quarterback for the St. Louis Rams, but it took some time for that to happen, which considering how long it took Warner to land the job was appropriate.
