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, and they were known for their toughness, physicality, and dominance on the field. One of the linemen who stood out from…
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 over time. Patton's skills on the field were undeniable, and he really began to shine during the Giants' 1956…
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 that was considered a legitimate…
In the first incarnation of our Football list, how could we 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…
Does longevity mean more than greatness? We ask this question about Jim Marshall who had a solid twenty-year career but only made the Pro Bowl twice.
If the Football Hall of Fame was based solely on excitement there should be no doubt that Randall Cunningham would have been inducted on the first ballot. His nickname of the “Human Highlight Reel” was well deserved and he was hands down the most entertaining Quarterback of his era.Randall Cunningham could beat you with his throwing arms or with his…
As much as football changes, there are some statistics that will always remain critical to the game. One such stat is the Interception, which is one of the biggest game-changers regardless of era. In the ’60s, Bobby Boyd was one of the masters of the pick.
Very few players could be viewed as the total athletic package. Neil Smith may have been one of those rare exceptions as scouts felt 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 against the…
You never had to wonder what was on Ricky Watters's mind. He would tell you whether it was good or bad, and that brashness made him a very polarizing figure in the NFL. It is also possible that this is why the Hall of Fame has yet to look his way in a serious capacity. Ricky Watters was one of…
James Harrison's journey to becoming an NFL star was not an easy one. Despite his impressive performances at Kent State, he was not selected in the 2002 draft. His height and weight, 6'0" and 240 lbs respectively, were the main reasons why NFL scouts overlooked him. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to give him a chance, but it was not…
Richmond Webb proved his merit immediately as the 9th overall Draft Pick in 1990 as the Left Tackle was a Pro Bowl, All-Rookie Selection, and UPI even went as far as naming him the Rookie of the Year. That year was no flash in the pan as Webb would go on to be named to six more Pro Bowls (all…
In the early 2010’s, Marshawn Lynch could make the claim that he was the best Running Back in the NFL, and if you didn’t believe that you would have to agree that he was one of the best known. Lynch had over 1,000 Rushing Yards in his first two seasons in football where he was offensive cog of the Buffalo Bills. He…
In the 2006 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens made an excellent selection by grabbing Haloti Ngata with the 12th pick. Ngata was a former All-American defensive tackle from the University of Oregon, and the Ravens were looking for someone to stuff up the middle of their defence. Ngata proved to be the answer to their prayers. As soon as he…
Before the Dallas Cowboys truly became “America’s Team”, they had to establish themselves as a true force in the National Football League. A big part of that emergence was their defense, of which Linebacker; Lee Roy Jordan played a key role.
The all-time leader in Receiving, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise, Hines Ward brings the accumulative statistical resume that you would expect from a Wide Receiver in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ward amassed over 12,000 Yards Receiving, an even 1,000 Receptions, and most importantly was a large part of the Pittsburgh…
When you think of great San Francisco quarterbacks, you automatically think of Joe Montana and Steve Young. Before them, there was a very good one named John Brodie who put up great numbers without the supporting cast that Montana and Young had. John Brodie was one of the game's early gunslingers, and most of the time he had to be.…
Harold Jackson had two great seasons in Philadelphia leading the league in receiving yards in 1969 and 1973. It is too bad that Jackson was the only one playing well for those dreadful Eagles teams.
