40. Ed Husmann

Ed Husmann was a seven-year NFL vet (six with the Chicago Cardinals and one with Dallas), with his last year coming in 1960.  After the Cowboys released him, Husmann found a new life in the AFL with the Oilers, and it would be the best run of his career.

Husmann aided the Oilers in retaining their AFL Title, and in the process, he was named to the All-Star Team and led the league in Sacks (8).  The Defensive Tackle was again an All-Star the next two seasons, with a First Team All-Pro coming in 1962 with a second Sack title (10) occurring.

He played until 1965, finishing out his career with a season in Edmonton of the Canadian Football League.  Husmann had 33 Sacks for the Oilers.
