Sherrill Headrick was not drafted by anyone in either the National Football League or the American League but the former star at TCU would find a home with the Dallas Texans and he immediately became a standout Linebacker in the new American Football League.  Headrick was named an AFL First Team All-Pro in his first three seasons of football and he would assist the Texans in winning an AFL Title in 1962, the last year that the franchise was in Texas.

Trent Green was a pretty good Quarterback who posted better statistics than you might remember.  Green got off to a rough start in his first season with Kansas City as he was prone to Interceptions but from 2003 to 2005 he would throw for over 4,000 Yards with at least 24 Touchdown Passes.  In those years he was second in Passing Yards.  He would be named a Pro Bowl twice (2003 & 2005) and while he may not have been considered among the elite in pivots he was certainly very good for a time at the most important position in team sports.

E.J. Holub, the first man who would have his number retired at Texas Tech would make professional football history as in the 60s, he was a rare player to start at two different positions (Linebacker and Center).  WIth today's football climate, we are unlikely to ever see that again.

Drafted by the Dallas Texans in 1961, Fred Arbanas would establish himself as one of the top Tight Ends of the American Football League immediately.  Arbanas was named an AFL All-Star in his rookie year and he would be named that honor another four times with the Texans/Chiefs.
