48. Al Del Greco

From Auburn, Al Del Greco had a mediocre start in the NFL, four years with Green Bay, and four more with the St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals.  When he joined Houston (eventually Tennessee) in 1991, Del Greco was thought of more as a band-aid.  As it turned out, he became "Automatic Al."

Del Greco never made the Pro Bowl, but there were seasons where he belonged in the conversation.  With the Oilers/Titans, Del Greco never had a season where his Field Goal Percentage went below 76%, and he was in the top ten five times.  Del Greco led the NFL in Field Goals Made in 1998 (36) and was in the top ten six other years.

A member of the AFC Championship Team that made it to the Super Bowl (Del Greco made his lone FG attempt), he is currently the all-time franchise leader in Field Goals (246), Extra Points (322) and Points Scored (1,060).
