Tim McDonald split his career between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, where the Safety went to three Pro Bowls and earned two Second Team All-Pro selections with each team. McDonald would have four seasons where he went over 100 Tackles and would have 1,138 in total, along with 40 Interceptions over his career. He was a member…
A two-time Morris Trophy winner at California, Alex Mack was a First Round Pick in 2009 (21st Overall) by the Cleveland Browns, and he stepped in immediately under Quarterback and under the tutelage of future Hall of Fame lineman Joe Thomas, and made the Pro Bowl in his sophomore season. A Pro Bowler again in 2013 and 2015, Mack joined the Atlanta…
Charley Hennigan went undrafted in both the NFL and AFL, but the Houston Oilers of the latter gave him a chance, and aren't they glad they did! The Wide Receiver managed 722 Yards as a rookie, and he is credited with scoring the first TD in Oilers history. He was a big part of Houston reaching the AFL Championship Game…
Making four consecutive Pro Bowls and a First Team All-Pro Selection, Asante Samuel was an integral part of a pair of Super Bowl Championships for the New England Patriots. Samuel led the National Football League in Interceptions twice, had 51 overall, and became one of the more recognized Defensive Backs in the NFL.
Undrafted out of Southern in 1966, Rich Jackson was given a chance by the Oakland Raiders, where he played only five games. Al Davis traded Jackson to the Denver Broncos, but the Raiders owner would soon regret it. Jackson would become the best Defensive End in the American Football League, where, from 1968 to 1970, the man nicknamed “Tombstone” would…
With an (unofficial) total of 96.5 Quarterback Sacks, Jim Katcavage would play his entire pro career with the New York Giants after a nice career at the University of Dayton.
Did we make a mistake not ranking Drew Bledsoe in his first year of eligibility? Statistically speaking, we may have made a mistake, as his career statistics are more impressive than those of other Quarterbacks ranked higher than him. However, other intangibles come into play, which makes it hard for us to determine his perfect place on this list. Sure,…
Nate Newton was so big that he was called the “Kitchen," in reference to the fact that he was a more massive player than William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Newton went undrafted out of Florida A&M but found a home in the USFL, where he played two years with the Tampa Bay Bandits and earned All-USFL Honors. Now a seasoned professional,…

Used as both a Linebacker and a Guard, Bill Forester arguably was at his best on the defensive side of the gridiron. A 3rd Round Pick from SMU in 1953, Forester played his entire career with the Green Bay Packers, where he went from the outhouse to the penthouse. Green Bay was in a down period in the '50s but…
Although he became more known for the sexual assault case in 2014 (which alleged that he was a serial rapist), Darren Sharper was known mostly on the gridiron for his defensive skills and for leading the National Football League in Interception Return Yards three times. Sharper would also lead the NFL in picks twice, return Touchdowns three times, and was…
The San Diego Chargers took Ohio State Buckeye offensive lineman Jim Lachey 12th Overall in 1985, and he was plugged in immediately as the Bolts’ starting Left Tackle. Named to the All-Rookie Team, Lachey would be named a Pro Bowler in 1987, but after signing with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1988, he was shipped off to the Washington Redskins…
From the town of Grambling, Louisiana, and of course, playing at Grambling State, Paul “Tank” Younger wasn't selected in the 1949 Draft, but he didn’t have to wait long to find a home, as the Los Angeles Rams signed him. Considered one of the first real NFL stars from a historically black college, Younger was an excellent two-way player who…
David DeCastro, an All-American at Stanford, was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers as their First Round (24th Overall) Pick in the 2012 Draft. Unfortunately, he played only four games as a rookie due to an injury, but he has been relatively healthy since then. He played Right Guard until the end of the 2020 Season. In 2015, DeCastro was selected…
Undrafted in 1999 out of North Texas, Brian Waters defied the odds to become a successful Offensive Guard in the National Football League, most notably with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was named to five Pro Bowls (plus one more with New England) and made two First Team All-Pro teams. The 2009 Walter Payton Man of the Year winner…
Buford "Baby" Ray played college ball at Vanderbilt, and while no NFL team drafted him in 1938, he signed with the Green Bay Packers. He played his entire career in Wisconsin, spanning 11 seasons. Ray played primarily at Left Tackle, where he helped the team win the 1938 and 1944 NFL Championships. He would be named by UPI as an…
While the Dallas Cowboys’ story didn't begin for many fans until the early '70s, they still had star power in the 1960s. One such performer was Don Perkins, their Fullback from the University of New Mexico. Perkins played eight years in the NFL, all of which were with the Dallas Cowboys, and he would secure a selection to the Pro…
Corey Dillon was an All-Rookie (1997) after the Cincinnati Bengals took him in the Second Round from the University of Washington. The Running Back was a workhorse from the start, going for 1,129 Yards and 10 Touchdowns. Dillon's 1,129 was the lowest rushing total he had until 2003, and in his rookie season and each year from 1999 to 2002, he…
We can't say enough about the AFL's Buffalo Bills defense of the 1960s, a unit that doesn't get the credit it should. This team won the 1964 and 1965 AFL titles, but most people remember four straight Super Bowl failures in the early 90s. We remember. A member of the two back-to-back AFL Championships, Butch Byrd was a rookie on…
Steven Jackson is the all-time leading rusher for the Rams, passing no less than Eric Dickerson to do it. A model of consistency, Jackson recorded eight consecutive seasons in which he rushed for over 1,000 Yards, four of which saw him finish in the top ten overall, including a second-place finish in 2009. 2006 was actually a more productive season…
