Irv Goode was a beast at the University of Kentucky, which led to his high selection by the St. Louis Cardinals, who nabbed him 12th Overall in 1961. Goode accomplished a rare feat as a rookie, earning Rookie of the Year votes (4th), and though St. Louis was not impressive in the 1960s, the versatile lineman (he played at Left Tackle, Left Guard, and Center) won Pro Bowl honors in both 1964 and 1967.
He would later win a Super Bowl in a reserve capacity with the Miami Dolphins at SB VIII.
