Known as “The Hatchet” (which is reason enough to rank him on any football list), the small framed Cornerback was one of the most punishing tacklers of his day and a major cog in the wheel of those three NFL Championship Teams in the 1950’s. It is definitely worth noting that Jim David recorded an Interception in all three of those Lions NFL Championships. Seriously, how impressive is that!
