Jerry Norton began his professional football career in 1954 with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he started as a Safety, then performed as a Half Back, then back to Safety again. Norton was also an excellent Punter, and in 1957 he would lead the league in Punts and Punting Yards. He would be traded to the Chicago Cardinals (which would become…
An All-American at Syracuse, Daryl Johnston became the “Moose” in Big D when Dallas chose him with their Second Round Pick in 1989. Johnston was listed as a Fullback/Running Back, but he was mostly a blocker and had far more yardage as a receiver. Paving the way for Emmitt Smith, Johnston was integral in Dallas’s three Super Bowls in the…
Playing his college ball at TCU, Sherrill Headrick was not drafted by either the National Football League or the American Football League in 1960, who was beginning their operation. Headrick was eventually signed by the Dallas Texans, where in the first three seasons he was a First Team All-Pro and was a significant force on the Texans' 1962 AFL Championship.
A first round pick out if the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Roddy White lived up to expectations in a career that was only spent with the Atlanta Falcons. The go-to option for Atlanta for years, White had a six-year run (2007-12) where he never fell below 1,100 Receiving Yards per season and would have a pair of 1,300 Yard seasons peaking…
E.J. Holub was an All-American at Texas Tech, where he was such a great player that the Red Raiders would later retire his number. Drafted 6th Overall by the Dallas Texans in 1961, Holub played at Linebacker, and in the first five of his six years, he was an AFL All-Star and was named a First Team All-Pro in both…
Ryan Kalil spent the first 12 seasons in the National Football League with the Carolina Panthers where he established himself as one of the best Offensive Lineman in franchise history. The former USC Trojan was chosen for five Pro Bowls and was named to two First Team All Pro rosters. While Kalil was well respected in Carolina and helped them…
Michael Vick may be best known in some circles for his dogfighting ring that cost him two years in the NFL, but prior to that the first overall pick from Virginia Tech was one of the most exciting players in Football; in fact, some would argue for a time he was the most exciting the player in the game.
Paul Brown called Lou Rymkus the best pass protector that he ever saw, which is high praise considering how many people he saw do that task.
The first thing we have to say, is there a better name for a Wide Receiver than Mike Quick? Of course not!
Kyle Williams has been referred to as the “heart and soul” of the Buffalo Bills throughout his lengthy tenure in Western New York and while that is certainly a compliment there are many who are unaware of his talent as the Bills were not exactly potent during his playing days. A mid round pick from LSU, Kyle Williams joined Buffalo…
Out of the state of Idaho, Wayne Walker would spend all of his fifteen seasons in the NFL as a Detroit Lion and was a very rare dual threat as a Linebacker and Place Kicker. Walker was a three-time Pro Bowl selection who would be named the team’s Defensive MVP in 1968. Walker had 14 career Interceptions, and might be…
One of the better Guards of the early days of football, Swede Youngstrom, was the stabilizing force behind the Buffalo All-American/Bisons teams that twice came within a game of the NFL Championship. Twice a First Team All-Pro (1923 & 1924), the expert Lineman was one of the best at his side of the ball, and while it was not recorded…
From the University of Minnesota, George Svendsen would play five seasons with the Green Bay Packers over two runs.
From the University of Kentucky, Bob Talamini would play his entire nine-year professional career in the American Football League. The first eight of those campaigns were with the Houston Oilers, where the Left Guard was a six-time AFL All-Star (1962-67) who played his way into three First Team All-Pros. The Oilers were one of the powers of the league, and…
The 16th Overall Pick in the 2000 Draft, Julian Peterson carved out a good career in the National Football League. Winning the Left Outside Linebacker job midway through his rookie year with the San Francisco 49ers, Peterson would go to the Pro Bowl in 2002 and 2003, the last season seeing him earn First Team All-Pro accolades. He would later…
Ron McDole’s professional football career got off to a slow start as the former Nebraska Cornhusker did not accomplish much in 1961 as a rookie with the St. Louis Cardinals. 1962 was worse, as he migrated to the Houston Oilers of the American Football League and played even less.
Considered to be one of the last great finds before the modern era of scouting, Willie Galimore was a 5th Round Draft Pick in 1957 from Florida A&M. Galimore was one of the quickest players in college, and that was the case when he went pro with the Chicago Bears. Galimore would play seven seasons in the NFL, all with…
We can’t wait to see this one.Tony Romo was loved or hated, though not because he was a polarizing personality but because he was a perceived choke artist in the playoffs. While Romo did not have a great playoff record (2-4) but Romo (as of this writing anyway) he is the career leader in Quarterback Rating in the fourth quarter…

Drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2003, Nnamdi Asoumgha broke out in 2007 with an eight-Interception year, and in the three years after, he was one of the best shutdown Cornerbacks in the National Football League, earning First Team All-Pros in 2008 and 2010. Following 2010, Asomugha was a highly recruited Free Agent and he joined the Phiadelphia Eagles, who…
