Corey Crawford was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2003 (52nd Overall), but it was not until the 2010-11 Season that he saw significant playing time for the parent club.

Crawford became Chicago’s top Goalie, where he had the task of helping them defend their Stanley Cup Title.  The Blackhawks did not repeat as champions in 2011, but Crawford was the Goalie behind their wins in 2013 and 2015.  A two-time winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy and two-time All-Star, Crawford finished in the top ten in Save Percentage four times and was in the top ten in the Vezina Trophy three times.

He retired after the 2019/20 Season, completing his career in Chicago with a record 260-162-53.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Tennessee Titans. 

An original team in the American Football League, the Tennessee Titans, began their existence as the Houston Oilers.  

The Oilers were the first power of the league, winning the first two Championships and losing the third title game.  As the AFL merged with the NFL, the Oilers had flashes of greatness but were unable to make the Super Bowl.

The team would relocate to Nashville in 1997 and be rebranded the Tennessee Titans.  Though they have yet to win a Super Bowl, they did make one, losing SB XXXIV to the St. Louis Rams. 

Our Top 50 lists in football look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2020 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Bruce Matthews

2. Warren Moon

3. Mike Munchak

4. Earl Campbell

5. Robert Brazile

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.

As always, we thank you for your support.

From Nevada, Joel Bitonio was taken in the second round (35th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Nevada, and immediately established himself as a generational fixture on the offensive line. Over a 12-season career spent entirely in brown and orange, Bitonio anchored the left guard position with iron-clad durability, elite technique, and unwavering loyalty to the franchise.

Bitonio integrated swift lateral agility with exceptional core strength and leverage. Serving as Cleveland's left guard, he demonstrated proficiency in executing reach blocks against edge defenders and pulling into the secondary during perimeter sweeps. In pass protection, his rapid footwork and robust anchoring maintained the integrity of the interior pocket, exemplifying exemplary interior offensive line play over his decade-plus tenure.

Bitonio earned PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2014 after starting all 16 games. Early in his career, he battled injury setbacks that limited him in the 2015 and 2016 campaigns. He returned to full health in 2017—launching a staggering 6,481 consecutive snaps streak that spanned nearly six full seasons.

The durability demonstrated by Bitonio marked the beginning of an era characterized by elite individual dominance. He was recognized with seven consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 2018 to 2024. Additionally, he received the Second-Team All-Pro honor for three consecutive years (2018–2020) before attaining the highest accolade with back-to-back First-Team All-Pro recognitions in 2021 and 2022. Whether facilitating Nick Chubb's rushing titles or providing steadfast protection during Cleveland's playoff runs in 2020 and 2023, Bitonio unequivocally served as the driving force behind the Browns' offensive line.

Bitonio proudly wrapped up his 12th and final season in 2025, demonstrating his incredible consistency by starting all 17 games. Throughout his career, he surpassed Hall of Famer Joe Thomas for the most games started (178) by any Cleveland player since the franchise's return in 1999. During his time with the Browns (2014–2025), Bitonio started every single one of his 178 regular-season games, earned 7 Pro Bowl selections, 2 First-Team All-Pro honors, 3 Second-Team All-Pro honors, and set the record for the most games played by any player in the modern Cleveland era.
