From the University of Kentucky, Bob Talimini would play his entire nine-year professional career in the American Football League.  The first eight of those campaigns were with the Houston Oilers, where the Left Guard was a six-time AFL All-Star (1962-67) who played his way into three First Team All-Pros.  The Oilers were one of the powers of the league, and Talimini was a member of the first two AFL Titles (1960 & 1961), and after his run with Houston, he played one final year with the New York Jets.  

That year, he was part of the history-making team that won Super Bowl III.  Not a bad way to finish your career!
