116. Pat Fischer
Pat Fischer was not a tall man, standing at only 5' 9", which was likely why the multi-talented star at Nebraska fell to the 17th Round. It was the St. Louis Cardinals who chose him, and after initially using him as a Returner, he would force his way to become a starting Cornerback and would be named to the Pro Bowl in 1964 and 1965. The certified ballhawk would later sign with the Washington Redskins and brought a veteran presence to their secondary and was a large part of their appearance in their Super Bowl VII appearance. Fischer would play until 1977 and would accumulate 56 Interceptions.
