From the University of Kentucky, Bob Talamini would play his entire nine-year professional career in the American Football League. The first eight of those campaigns were with the Houston Oilers, where the Left Guard was a six-time AFL All-Star (1962-67) who played his way into three First Team All-Pros. The Oilers were one of the powers of the league, and Talamini was a member of the first two AFL Titles (1960 & 1961), and after his run with Houston, he played one final year with the New York Jets.
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.
