Born in Russia but immigrating to Wisconsin at the age of four, Charles "Buckets" Goldenberg would play college football in his home state of Wisconsin and would remain in the “Badger State” as a professional by signing with the Green Bay Packers in 1933.  The Packers would be the only team he would play for and would stay with until 1945.  Goldenberg excelled at both sides of the ball and was named a Pro Bowl in 1939, but more importantly, he helped the Packers win three NFL Championships (1936, 1939 & 1944).  He would be chosen for the 1930’s All-Decade Team.

Frank Cope was a member of the 1930's All-Decade Team, although most of his career took place in the 1940s.

Houston Antwine eschewed the Detroit Lions of the NFL for the Boston Patriots of the AFL, which appeared by all counts to be the correct decision. 

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.
