Born (and died) in the most football like city on this Planet Earth (Canton, Ohio), George Saimes would sign with the Buffalo Bills in 1963 after playing collegiately at Michigan State. 

One of the longest tenured players in NFL history (22 seasons), his career in that league began after going undrafted in 1983 and playing all three seasons of the USFL.  Landeta was chosen for the All-USFL Team, and he would join the New York Giants in 1985, where he would win two Super Bowls, and was named to two Pro Bowls, and three First Team All-Pro rosters.  After the Giants, he would play for the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, and is one of the few players to be named to two All-Decade Teams (80s & 90s).

Dennis Smith was one of the best Defensive Backs in the history of the Denver Broncos. 

A member of the Los Angeles Rams for his entire 11-year career, Larry Brooks started at Defensive Tackle for the first ten of his seasons.  Brooks would settle in as an elite player going to five straight Pro Bowls (1976 & 1980) and was a First Team All-Pro in 1979.  He was a large part of the Rams' success in the late 70s and early 80s and helped them reach Super Bowl XIV.  He would win a Super Bowl later in his career as the Defensive Line Coach for the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI.
