In the early 1970s, the Miami Dolphins were one of the best teams ever and loaded with talent, but one of their stars, Dick Anderson, seems to have been forgotten. Let's try to rectify that.
Anderson was drafted in 1968, and as a rookie, he led the league in Interception Return Yards, a feat he repeated in 1970. The Safety couldn't sneak up on anyone anymore, but he raised his game further and went to the Pro Bowl three years in a row (1972 to 1974). The first of those seasons was Miami's famed undefeated Super Bowl season, and the following season the Fins repeated the Super Bowl win, with Anderson leading the NFL in Interceptions and winning AP Defensive Player of the Year. He would spend his entire career with Miami and had 34 picks. Not too bad for a football player who looked like an accountant!
