50. Byron Bell

Undrafted in 2011 from New Mexico, Byron Bell was an excellent pickup for the Carolina Panthers.  Bell would become the starting Right Tackle for the team early in his rookie season, and he would hold that spot for three seasons before switching to Left Tackle in his fourth year, which would be his last in Carolina as he would sign with the Tennessee Titans for the 2015 season.  Bell played 62 Games for Carolina.

48. Mel Farr

Mel Farr would get out of the gates quickly as the star from UCLA who was chosen 7th Overall by the Detroit Lions would be named to the Pro Bowl and was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.  He finished 5th in Rushing Yards, but that would be the only time he was in the top ten in that.  He wasn’t done producing as he would have two more 900 Yards from Scrimmage seasons, the second of which coming in 1970 where he was named to his second Pro Bowl.  Farr played seven seasons, all with Detroit and he would accumulate 4,446 Yards from Scrimmage with 36 Touchdowns.
