A 5th Round pick from Oregon State, Vic Sears would play his entire National Football League career with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Bobby Walston played his entire 12-year career (1951-62) with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he was one of the most versatile offensive weapons that the team would have. The former Georgia Bulldog played at Wide Receiver, Tight End, and Kicker and excelled at all of them. A member of the 1960 NFL Championship Team, Walston would catch 311 passes for 5,363…
An All-American at Louisville, where he eventually joined their Ring of Honor, Sam Madison joined the Miami Dolphins as a Second Round Pick in 1997. Madison started three games as a rookie and became the Dolphins' starting right cornerback in his second year. From that year to 2002, he was one of the best shutdown defensive backs in football. Madison…

Behind the depth chart to Brent Jones, Wesley Walls did not see a lot of action with the San Francisco 49ers, although he did win a Super Bowl with them (XXIV) and caught a pass in the big game. Walls was injured through 1992 and 1993, and he would sign with the New Orleans Saints as a Free Agent, where…
There are only three seasons to draw from in the professional career of Gaynell Tinsley, but it was deemed good enough to get him an All-Decade Selection for the 1930s.
Jack Ferrante had a unique path to the National Football League as not only was he not drafted, he never played ball in College Football at all. In fact, he never even finished high school. Let that sink in for a minute. If you were like us, you might have automatically thought about the Mark Wahlberg film about Vince Papale,…
Had the NFL officially tracked Sacks in the years leading up to 1982, Al “Bubba” Baker might have gained some Hall of Fame traction. Baker began his professional career with the Detroit Lions and instantly became the heart of Detroit’s Silver Rush Defense. The former Colorado State Ram led the league (unofficially) in Sacks as a rookie with 23. He…
Russ Washington played both Offensive Tackle and Defensive Tackle at the University of Missouri, and the man who stood at 6’ 5” and nearly 300 pounds made the mouths water of NFL scouts. the San Diego Chargers selected him fourth overall in 1968, where he was used as a Defensive Tackle over his first two seasons. He did well, but…
Playing his college ball at Marquette, George Andrie played his entire 11-year career with the Dallas Cowboys.
While Larry Morris never made a Pro Bowl, nor a First Team All-Pro, he was chosen for the 1960s All-Decade Team. This is a testament to Morris’ consistency as he was highly regarded in his craft as an NFL Linebacker. He would be a dependable presence in the Bears’ Defense that won the 1963 NFL Championship.
Clyde Simmons was a beast of a defensive lineman for Western Carolina and joined the Philadelphia Eagles in 1986 when he was a ninth-round pick in 1988. Simmons was a vaunted pass-rusher in the National Football League, who took down the Quarterback 121.5 times over a 15-year career, which included a league-leading 19 in 1992. A First Team All-Pro and…
Gary Johnson received the nickname of “Big Hands” innocently enough. In eighth grade, Johnson grabbed a basketball in gym class, and the P.E. teacher yelled the following: “Get your big hands off my basketball!” Those meat hooks would be put to good use on the gridiron, first at Grambling, where he was a three-time Little All-American, and then for the…
Out of the University of Nebraska, Glenn Presnell first played for the semi-pro Ironton Yanks in 1929. The Yanks were not part of the NFL but would have games against NFL teams where they would sometimes emerge as the victor. Presnell would sing with the NFL's Portsmouth Spartans, where he would be a bona fide triple threat in terms of…
A dynamic offensive weapon for the Lions in the 1990s, Herman Moore would twice lead the National Football League in Receptions. Moore may have been overshadowed by Barry Sanders, but Moore was a four-time Pro Bowl selection who had over 1,000 Yards in each of those campaigns. He held all of the major franchise receiving records until they were broken…
One of the most underrated Guards in the game, Dave Szott, was never chosen for a Pro Bowl, though he was good enough to make several. Szott was not a behemoth like other Linemen but used skill and leverage to outmaneuver his opponent. Rarely beaten, Szott had no discernable weakness, well except for the lack of accolades!
Playing his entire professional career with the New England Patriots, the team that drafted him in the second round of 1974. Nelson was a starter at Left Inside Linebacker as a rookie and he held that role until he retired after the 1987 season. Nelson patrolled the interior beautifully for the Pats, as one of the best (though widely not…
