Nate Newton was so big, that he was called the “Kitchen," in reference to that he was a more massive player than William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Newton went undrafted from Florida A&M but found a home in the USFL, where he played two years with the Tampa Bay Bandits and would be named to the All-USFL Team.
One of the most dominating Defensive Tackles of the AFL, Tom Sestak, joined the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League in 1962, where he quickly became the team's defensive anchor. Sestak was an AFL All-Star in his first four seasons, and in years two through four, he was a First Team All-Pro and was in the top ten in…
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…
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 Pros. The 2009 Walter Payton Man of the Year winner…
Tim McDonald split his career with the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, where the Safety went to three Pro Bowls and two Second Team All-Pros 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 of San…
While the story of the Dallas Cowboys never started for many fans until the early '70s, there was undoubtedly some star power in the 1960s. One such performer was Don Perkins, their Fullback from the University of New Mexico.
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 would record eight consecutive seasons where 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.
The San Diego Chargers took Ohio State Buckeye Offensive Lineman, Jim Lachey, 12th Overall in 1985, and he would be plugged in immediately as the Bolts’ starting Left Tackle.
We can't say enough about the AFL's Buffalo Bill defense of the 1960s, a unit that doesn't get the due that it should. This is a team that would win the 1964 and 1965 AFL Title, but most people remember the four straight failures in the Super Bowl in the early 90s. We remember.
Undrafted out of Louisville, Frank Minnifield quickly found a home in the USFL, where he played for the Chicago Blitz and the Arizona Wranglers briefly before he sued his way out of the league to play for the Cleveland Browns.
Although we imagine that Dave Krieg dreamed of throwing footballs in the NFL, it had to seem a million miles away when he was the backup Quarter back at the now defunct Milton College. Amazingly, he not only made the professional ranks, he was there for seventeen years.For the bulk of his career, Dave Krieg was the starting Quarterback with…
The Dallas Cowboys had ideas for Mark Stepnoski when they drafted him in the 3rd Round from the University of Pittsburgh. Dallas converted him from Offensive Guard to Center, a position he had never played before; however, they did not rush him, easing him to the position learning from the incumbent, Tom Rafferty.
While it can be argued that Andre “Bad Moon” Rison will always be best known for his tumultuous relationship with Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes (she infamously burned his house down), we here at Notinhalloffame.com think of Rison as a flashy Wide Receiver who backed up his smack talk.
Although he became 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.

One of the longest tenured players in NFL history (22 seasons), his career in that league began after going undrafted in 1983 and playing all three seasons of the USFL. Landeta was chosen for the All-USFL Team, and he would join the New York Giants in 1985, where he would win two Super Bowls, and was named to two Pro…
A member of the NFL 2000’s All-Decade Team, Joey Porter had a very productive run in the National Football League, especially with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he won a Super Bowl Ring. The four-time Pro Bowl Linebacker fell two Sacks shy of the 100 mark and would be regarded as one of the dirtiest defensive players of his time, but…
Gary Anderson made a lot of history as a Place Kicker, the first of which was becoming the first South African to play a game in the NFL. Anderson would not just play a game or two, as he would play 353, which as of this writing, places him second all-time.
Houston Antwine eschewed the Detroit Lions of the NFL for the Boston Patriots of the AFL, which appeared by all counts to be the correct decision.
1936 was the first year of the NFL Draft, and with the 7th Overall Pick, the Green Bay Packers chose Russ Letlow out of the University of San Francisco. Historically speaking, this gives him the honor of being the first choice of the most storied teams in the National Football League. Letlow would be a two-time Pro Bowler and a…
