Known mostly for at one time holding the longest Field Goal (56 Yards) in NFL history, Bert Rechichar should probably be known more for being a three-time Pro Bowl Safety who was a punishing tackler. Rechichar recorded 24 Interceptions for Baltimore and was also a top kick returner in the league. This is definitely one of those players who you wonder why he isn’t remembered more.
