157. George Christensen

A member of the 1930's All-Decade Team, George Christensen, was one of the better Tackles of the decade (obviously based on the above accolade).

Christensen would sign with the Portsmouth Spartans in 1931, and stayed with the team as they relocated to Detroit to become the Lions in 1934.  The Tackle would help Detroit win the NFL Championship in 1935, and he played his entire career with the organization which spanned 95 Games.
