From the town of Grambling, Louisiana, and of course, playing at Grambling State, Paul “Tank” Younger was not chosen in the 1949 Draft, but he did not have to wait long to find a home as the Los Angeles Rams would sign him.

Priest Holmes may have played for the high-profile Texas Longhorns in college, but that did not result in a draft selection.  Undrafted in 1997, Holmes would sign with the Baltimore Ravens.  The Running Back would see no action as a rookie but would rush for 1,008 Yards in 1998 and did well until Jamal Lewis supplanted him as the lead Back for Baltimore.  Holmes would gain a Super Bowl Ring out of it, but he sought work as a starter, and he would sign with the Kansas City Chiefs where he would get that opportunity.

Billy Wilson spent his entire career with the San Francisco 49ers, but this was in the 1950s when the Niners were not the world beaters that they would later become, which might be why he doesn’t get his proper due.

There was a time where Joey Browner was considered to be the best Cornerback in the National Football League, and this was not just an opinion in the state of Minnesota...it was thought throughout the entire country.
