A member of the Cleveland Browns for the duration of his career, Gary Collins was the 4th Overall pick in 1962, and as a rookie, the Wide Receiver wasn't targeted that much but was used as the team's Punter, a role he would have for six seasons. In his sophomore season, he was integrated into the Browns offense, and he…
As an NFL rookie in 1959 for the Chicago Bears, Lionel Taylor saw limited action, but his bench-warming days were behind him as he would sign with the Denver Broncos of the American Football League.
The pro career of Simeon Rice began in 1996 when he was drafted third overall by the Arizona Cardinals. Playing at Defensive End, Rice proved his worth instantly with a 12.5 Sack year and won the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Rice played with the Cardinals for five seasons and had three 10 plus Sack years there, peaking with 16.5…
Andy Russell debuted for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1963, and he had to sit out his next two seasons due to ROTC commitments. He would return to the Steelers in 1967, and in 1968 he would be chosen for his first Pro Bowl in 1970. He would become a perennial Pro Bowl Selection from that year until 1975, and the…
One of the most respected men in Professional Football, the excellent-blocking and very cerebral Matt Birk would not just earn six Pro Bowl selections, he would also win the Ed Block Courage Award in 2006 and the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2011. The year after receiving that award at the Super Bowl, he won the brass…
The hard-luck Cincinnati Bengals have yet to win a Super Bowl, but it was Boomer Esiason who brought them closer than anyone else had when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers on a last-minute drive in Super Bowl XXIII. Fortunately for Esiason, his career did not need a Super Bowl Ring to be considered great.Replacing the productive Ken Anderson,…
Nicknamed the "Mad Bomber," Daryle Lamonica signed with the Buffalo Bills of the AFL, where he saw limited playing time at Quarterback playing behind Jack Kemp. He did get to play, however, and was a part of the Bills' 1964 and 1965 AFL Championship. Lamonica was traded to the Oakland Raiders, and he was finally the starting QB and had…
Vince Wilfork was one of the most popular players in New England Patriots history and by many accounts one of the nicest guys ever to play on the gridiron. While all of that is fine and good, the most important facet that Pats fans really think of is that he was so fundamentally good at Nose Tackle, clogging lanes and…
Isiah Robertson was the 10th overall pick from Southern University in 1971, and it didn't take long for him to prove to the Los Angeles Rams that he was the right choice as he would go on to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Linebacker would go on to be one of the best defensive players the…
The New England Patriots would have a lot of talent come wear their uniform, but only one of them would have the nickname of "Mr. Patriot."
As the first overall pick in 1984, many expected Irving Fryar to be great right away. He wasn’t, but his career showcased a slow climb to being one of the elite receivers in football, and a lot of times hearing his number called by broadcasters on Sunday afternoons.
Anyone who plays 225 Games defensively in the National Football League is without question a double-tough competitor, and that is what we have in the run-stuffing Linebacker, Hardy Nickerson.
What is it about the 2000s and brash Wide Receivers? Perhaps the most obnoxious (depending on your point of view) of them all was Chad Johnson, who was a major star for the Cincinnati Bengals for a decade.
A late round draft pick by the Washington Redskins from Loyola Marymount in 1951, Gene Brito would play on both sides of the ball in his first two seasons. The End was certainly solid in his role, but by 1953, Brito was focused on the Left Defensive End position and was chosen for his first Pro Bowl.
Riley Matheson arrived in Cleveland with little (really no) fanfare to join the Rams in 1939 after going undrafted from Texas-El Paso. Playing at both Offensive Lineman, Matheson broke out in 1942, earning his first First Team All-Pro, while also capturing that honor in 1944 and 1945. Granted, this happened during World War II, where the league was depleted during…

Bill Bergey came to the Cincinnati Bengals from Arkansas State, where, as a rookie, the Linebacker would go to the Pro Bowl. Bergey didn't make a Pro Bowl again as a Bengal, but he was undoubtedly a strong player who was coveted by Cincinnati until they became upset with him.
Nolan Cromwell played his entire career with the Los Angeles Rams (1977-87), and after winning the starting the Free Safety job in 1979, he would become one of the top Defensive Backs in the early 1980s., where his ability to anticipate routes had few equals.
Splitting his career between the San Diego Chargers and the New England Patriots, Rodney Harrison has a lot of labels attached to him. Statistically, Harrison is the first man ever to have 30 Sacks and 30 Interceptions, an impressive defensive feat that quantified his versatility on the gridiron. He has two Pro Bowls and two Super Bowl Rings for the…
The Washington Redskins drafted Brian Mitchell in the 5th Round of the 1990 Draft, where the Running Back found his true calling as a Return Specialist. Mitchell played the entire 1990s with Washington, where he would win a Super Bowl (XXVI), and with his vast amount of returns (both kick and punt), he was a four-time league leader in All-Purpose…
