At first, this might seem like a person who may not deserve a rank, but the more we look at it, the more we think he deserves a spot on this list.

Undrafted out of Louisville, Frank Minnifield quickly found a home in the USFL, where he played for the Chicago Blitz and the Arizona Wranglers briefly before he sued his way out of the league to play for the Cleveland Browns.

205. Butch Byrd

We can't say enough about the AFL's Buffalo Bill defense of the 1960s, a unit that doesn't get the due that it should.  This is a team that would win the 1964 and 1965 AFL Title, but most people remember the four straight failures in the Super Bowl in the early 90s.

We remember.
