gold star for USAHOF

31. Al Wistert

Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1943, Al Wistert would play his entire nine-year career in Eastern Pennsylvania.  Playing at Tackle (on both sides of the ball), the former Michigan Wolverine would be named a First Team All-Pro by the Associated Press four years in a row (1944-47).  Wistert would be named to the Pro Bowl in 1950 and was an integral part of Philadelphia's back-to-back NFL Titles in 1948 and 1949.  It is difficult to fathom the Eagles winning those championships without Wistert, who was their team captain, was an excellent blocker for Steve Van Buren, and ran their defence.

61. Mike Kenn

The Atlanta Falcons have had many ups and downs over the years.  With a seventeen-year career playing in the ATL, Mike Kenn has seen it all.

28. Glen Rice

Glen Rice just maybe the most effective outside shooter of the 90's. Reggie Miller got all the hype but Rice was actually a better scorer and was a 6 foot 7 shooting guard who was almost impossible to defend.  He was the star and leading reason the Michigan Wolverines that won the 1989 title and he set a record for scoring of 184 points in the tournament that still stands today.  Drafted number 4 overall by the Heat following the 89 season, Rice became the expansion team’s first bonafide star. 

273. Marty Turco

Marty Turco played for the University of Michigan, where he would help the Wolverines win the Frozen Four twice.  He would slowly work his way up the Dallas Stars system, and in his rookie season, he played 26 Games and was the leader in Goals Against Average and Save Percentage.  However, he was still the team’s backup until his third season, when Ed Belfour signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.  In his first full year as the Stars’ starter, he would again finish first in GAA and Save Percentage while finishing as the runner-up for the Vezina and earning a Second Team All-Star selection.  He would finish fourth and fifth in Vezina Trophy balloting the next two seasons and was a three-time All-Star over his career, which was predominantly spent in Dallas.
