From the Marines to the NFL, Gene Lipscomb had a strange road to the National Football League, as not only was he undrafted out of college, he didn’t play in one. Lipscomb would break in the Los Angeles Rams, but a trade to the Colts saw him hit his apex, where he would not only help the team win two NFL Championships but would make the First Team All-Pro roster twice.
