313. Sherrill Headrick

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.

309. Bobby Walston

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 Yards for 46 Touchdowns.  With his leg, he would twice lead the NFL in Field Goal Percentage, and with his dual duty as a Receiver and Kicker, he would amass 881 career Points.  Walston would be chosen for the Pro Bowl in both 1960 and 1961, and probably should have had been named to more.

177. Bob Baumhower

A member of the prestigious Miami Dolphins Honor Roll, Bob Baumhower, played all nine of his NFL seasons with the team from Southern Florida.  A former star with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Baumhower was a five-time Pro Bowl Selection, and he would be chosen for an All-Pro roster (one First Team and four Second Team) in all of those years.  Baumhower was a key figure on the Dolphins defense in the early '80s that was considered among the best in the league.  

296. Frankie Albert

Frankie Albert was the 10th overall pick in 1942 by the Chicago Bears, but remember, the year in question was 1942.  The Stanford graduate would serve in the Navy for World War II, and upon his return, he would opt to play for his home state for the Los Angeles Bulldogs of the Pacific Coast League, before joining the San Francisco 49ers of the upstart All-American Football Conference.
