Nicknamed the "Mad Bomber," Daryle Lamonica signed with the Buffalo Bills of the AFL, where he saw limited playing time at Quarterback playing behind Jack Kemp. He did get to play, however, and was a part of the Bills' 1964 and 1965 AFL Championship. Lamonica was traded to the Oakland Raiders, and he was finally the starting QB and had…
There was a time where Joey Browner was considered to be the best Cornerback in the National Football League, and this was not just an opinion in the state of Minnesota...it was thought throughout the entire country.
Vince Wilfork was one of the most popular players in New England Patriots history and by many accounts one of the nicest guys ever to play on the gridiron. While all of that is fine and good, the most important facet that Pats fans really think of is that he was so fundamentally good at Nose Tackle, clogging lanes and…
Isiah Robertson was the 10th overall pick from Southern University in 1971, and it didn't take long for him to prove to the Los Angeles Rams that he was the right choice as he would go on to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Linebacker would go on to be one of the best defensive players the…
Lomas Brown played his first eleven seasons with the Detroit Lions, where his first six of seven Pro Bowls would take place. The Left Tackle would appear in seven straight Pro Bowls and would start in 251 of his 263 career games.
Aqib Talib was the 20thOverall Pick in 2008, but the former Kansas Jayhawk struggled early to live up to expectations. Winning the starting job at Left Cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his sophomore year, Talib did well, but it was not until 2012, when he was traded to the New England Patriots where his star began to rise.
The pro career of Simeon Rice began in 1996 when he was drafted third overall by the Arizona Cardinals. Playing at Defensive End, Rice proved his worth instantly with a 12.5 Sack year and won the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Rice played with the Cardinals for five seasons and had three 10 plus Sack years there, peaking with 16.5…

The hard-luck Cincinnati Bengals have yet to win a Super Bowl, but it was Boomer Esiason who brought them closer than anyone else had when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers on a last-minute drive in Super Bowl XXIII. Fortunately for Esiason, his career did not need a Super Bowl Ring to be considered great.Replacing the productive Ken Anderson,…
Andy Russell debuted for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1963, and he had to sit out his next two seasons due to ROTC commitments. He would return to the Steelers in 1967, and in 1968 he would be chosen for his first Pro Bowl in 1970. He would become a perennial Pro Bowl Selection from that year until 1975, and the…
One of the most respected men in Professional Football, the excellent-blocking and very cerebral Matt Birk would not just earn six Pro Bowl selections, he would also win the Ed Block Courage Award in 2006 and the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2011. The year after receiving that award at the Super Bowl, he won the brass…
Steve Tasker may have been listed as a Wide Receiver but with only 51 career receptions it is hard to think of him as a successful wide out. Tasker did however make the Prow Bowl but it was not because of his offensive capabilities but from his prowess on the Special Teams.
Jessie Tuggle went undrafted out of Valdosta State, but the home state Atlanta Falcons would sign him, and it would lead to a 209 Game career, all of which were in the Peach State. Tuggle was at Inside Linebacker for years before moving to Middle Linebacker, but regardless of where he was in the interior, few NFL players could tackle…
When Tiki Barber retired, it was a decision questioned by many. It was thought that he had a lot left to give on the field despite the golden path he was given to broadcasting. The critics may have been proven right as the New York Giants won the Super Bowl the year after he left and he was chastised for…
A member of the Cleveland Browns for the duration of his career, Gary Collins was the 4th Overall pick in 1962, and as a rookie, the Wide Receiver wasn't targeted that much but was used as the team's Punter, a role he would have for six seasons. In his sophomore season, he was integrated into the Browns offense, and he…
As an NFL rookie in 1959 for the Chicago Bears, Lionel Taylor saw limited action, but his bench-warming days were behind him as he would sign with the Denver Broncos of the American Football League.
The New England Patriots would have a lot of talent come wear their uniform, but only one of them would have the nickname of "Mr. Patriot."
As the first overall pick in 1984, many expected Irving Fryar to be great right away. He wasn’t, but his career showcased a slow climb to being one of the elite receivers in football, and a lot of times hearing his number called by broadcasters on Sunday afternoons.
Anyone who plays 225 Games defensively in the National Football League is without question a double-tough competitor, and that is what we have in the run-stuffing Linebacker, Hardy Nickerson.
Riley Matheson arrived in Cleveland with little (really no) fanfare to join the Rams in 1939 after going undrafted from Texas-El Paso. Playing at both Offensive Lineman, Matheson broke out in 1942, earning his first First Team All-Pro, while also capturing that honor in 1944 and 1945. Granted, this happened during World War II, where the league was depleted during…
