50. Dan Towler
Dan Towler played his entire professional football career with the Los Angeles Rams where after being a very late round pick (25th Round) and not expected to do much as a professional football player he did precisely that. In 1951 to 1954 he finished in the top four in Rushing Yards including leading the NFL in that statistic in 1952 where he led the league not only in that metric but in Rushing Touchdowns. Towler would again lead the National Football League in Rushing Touchdowns in 1954 making him one of the few players to ever finish atop in Rushing TDs.
