Kyle Williams has been referred to as the “heart and soul” of the Buffalo Bills throughout his lengthy tenure in Western New York and while that is certainly a compliment there are many who are unaware of his talent as the Bills were not exactly potent during his playing days.

A mid round pick from LSU, Kyle Williams joined Buffalo in the 2006 season and this would be the only team he would ever play for over his 13 year NFL career.  The Defensive Tackle always left it all on the gridiron where he was not just the aforementioned heart of the team but was their anchor.  He quietly was chosen for six Pro Bowls and he played 183 Games recording 48.5 Quarterback Sacks with 611 Tackles.

Vastly underappreciated throughout his 14-year career in the NFL, Henry Thomas is best known for the first half of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, the team that drafted him in 1987.

Thomas was an All-Rookie at Defensive Tackle, and was equally adept at stopping the run as well as rushing the passer.  Thomas was the league leader in Forced Fumbles (4) in 1988 and had back-to-back Pro Bowls in 1991 & 1992 with a Second Team All-Pro in 1993.

Thomas signed with Detroit in 1995 where he had his first double-digit year in Sacks (10.5).  After another year in Detroit, Thomas closed his career with four seasons in New England.  Statistically, Thomas compiled 1,006 Tackles and 93.5 Sacks, a numerical showcase of his versatility and balanced defensive skills.

There are only three seasons to draw from in the professional career of Gaynell Tinsley, but it was deemed good enough to get him an All-Decade Selection for the 1930s.

An SEC Player of the Year in 1939 with LSU, Ken Kavanaugh was chosen by the Chicago Bears the following year in the 3^rd Round of the NFL Draft.  The End would be a member of the dominant “Monsters of the Midway” where the won back-to-back NFL Championships (1940 & 1941), scoring a TD in the first one (which was the lopsided 73-0 dismantling of the Washington Redskins).
