Punters typically don't have much of a chance to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, Deron Cherry's focus on being a Safety paid off, and he became one of the best at his position, benefiting the Kansas City Chiefs. Using his athletic abilities, Cherry became a top defensive star in the NFL and was consistently one of the…
One of the early stars of the Green Bay Packers, Verne Lewellen, was an all-purpose Back who did it all for Green Bay. The product of Nebraska (the state and the University) was named to four straight First Team All-Pro squads (1926 to 1929) and was a large part of their three consecutive NFL Championships (1929 to 1931). While no…
The Hall of Fame case for Frank Gore is the ultimate test of dominance vs. longevity and statistical compiling. A third-round pick from Miami (FL), Gore had his best year early in his career with a sophomore effort, posting career highs in Rushing Yards (1,695) and Yards From Scrimmage (2,180). Gore went to his first Pro Bowl that year and was…
Drafted late in the First Round out of the University of Miami, Reggie Wayne was brought in to complement Marvin Harrison. It is safe to say he accomplished much more than that. Wayne blossomed into an elite NFL Wide Receiver and exemplary route-runner, earning six Pro Bowl selections and leading the NFL in Receiving Yards in 2007. Spending his entire…
Making an instant statement with the Minnesota Vikings after being drafted ninth overall from Oklahoma State, Kevin Williams recorded 10 Quarterback Sacks in each of his first two seasons.

Steve Smith is considered one of the most talented offensive players in the history of the Carolina Panthers. Over seven seasons as a Panther, he recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards. Smith's best season came in 2005, when he won the wide receiver "Triple Crown" by leading the NFL in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns. Smith was a dynamic…
What points do you get for being one of the best players to come out of Vermont? Okay, not that much, but regardless of what state Steve Wisniewski came from, there was no doubt that he was one of the finest Offensive Linemen of the 1990s. Steve Wisniewski was the de facto leader of the Silver and Black’s O-Line for…
One of the main roles of an Offensive Lineman is to create holes for Running Backs. The Cleveland Browns of the 1960s had some of the best runners, and Dick Schafrath was a big reason they had so much opportunity to run. Stepping in from Ohio State, Dick Schafrath maintained the high level coaches expected at that position. He protected…
Considered a shutdown Cornerback before there was such a term, Louis Wright would play his entire career with the Denver Broncos. Drafted in the 1st Round (17th Overall) from San Jose State, Wright paid immediate dividends by being named to the First Team All-Rookie squad. Denver was developing a reputation for their Orange Crush Defense, but if anyone got past…

As one of the men who used to eagerly wait for the final undefeated team to lose every NFL season, Bob Kuechenberg was a staple on the famed Miami Dolphins O-Line.As part of the Dolphins' two consecutive Super Bowl champions, Kuechenberg actually enjoyed better individual seasons after. Although he looked like a reject from the Longest Yard Prison Team (the original…
It may seem like a lifetime ago, but when Hall of Fame Quarterback Len Dawson was looking for a serious threat, it was Otis Taylor who was the target. In fact, it was Taylor who caught half of the passes for the Kansas City Chiefs in their Super Bowl IV victory. From Prairie View A&M, Taylor was a star in…
Offensive linemen are often the unsung heroes of football, but one group of linemen bucked that trend: the "Hogs" of the Washington Redskins. The "Hogs" were a legendary offensive line that played together in the 1980s and early 90s, known for their toughness, physicality, and dominance on the field. One of the linemen who stood out from the rest was…
The New York Giants were a dominant force in the NFL during the late 1950s and early 1960s, with a championship win under their belt. However, the incredible contributions of one of their star players, Jimmy Patton, have largely been forgotten. Patton's skills on the field were undeniable, and he really began to shine during the Giants' 1956 championship win.…
In the first incarnation of our Football list, how could we forget about a legendary Atlanta Falcon? Granted, there have not been that many in the past history of the Falcons, but we may very well have forgotten about a solid Linebacker in Tommy Nobis, who was easily the first bright spot of the Southern franchise. As one of the…
During the early 1960s, the Los Angeles Rams had a terrible reputation. This began to change when Roman Gabriel became their quarterback. By the late 60s, Gabriel had become one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. He won the NFL's Most Valuable Player award in 1969 and helped the Rams become a respectable team and a legitimate championship threat.…
Does longevity mean more than greatness? We ask this question about Jim Marshall, who had a solid 20-year career but made the Pro Bowl only twice. Jim Marshall was truly the model of consistency. For nineteen of his twenty-year career, he patrolled the Minnesota Vikings defense in a time period that seemed to last forever. Marshall set longevity records by…
Very few players could be viewed as the total athletic package. Neil Smith may have been one of those rare exceptions, as scouts felt that with his skills, there was little he couldn’t do on the football field. Those scouts would be right. Neil Smith was a multi-faceted Defensive End who was equally adept at stuffing the run as defending…
