42. Fred Glick

After two unimpressive years with the Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals of the NFL, Glick joined the Houston Oilers in 1961, where he made the most of his new opportunity.

A starting Safety for the majority of his Oilers career, Glick helped his new team win the AFL Championship.  He then began a three-year run as an AFL All-Star, with the middle campaign seeing Glick record an AFL-leading 12 Interceptions and earn a First Team All-Pro.  Glick played until 1966, when a back injury forced him out.  He would have 30 Interceptions for Houston.  He would also have 910 Return Yards.
