Lomas Brown played his first eleven seasons with the Detroit Lions, where his first six of seven Pro Bowls would take place.  The Left Tackle would appear in seven straight Pro Bowls and would start in 251 of his 263 career games.
When Tiki Barber retired, it was a decision questioned by many.  It was thought that he had a lot left to give on the field despite the golden path he was given to broadcasting.  The critics may have been proven right as the New York Giants won the Super Bowl the year after he left and he was chastised for…
The winner of the 1957 Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M, John David Crow, would be drafted 2nd overall by the Chicago Cardinals and would blossom into one of the most versatile offensive players of his era.  Used at Halfback, Fullback, and Tight End over his pro career, he played half of his career with the Chicago (later St. Louis) Cardinals…

This one might be a little tough to justify, but this is not exactly uncommon for players before World War II. Byron “Whizzer” White was a hot commodity after being a consensus All-American at Colorado, and he was drafted 4th Overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1938.  As a rookie, he would lead the NFL in Rushing, but the National…
A First Round Pick from Stanford in 1969, Gene Washington was part of the turnaround for the San Francisco 49ers from league doormats to respectability.  In his first four seasons in the National Football League, Washington would go to the Pro Bowl, with three of those years seeing him earn First Team All-Pro accolades.
Despite playing for a college juggernaut like Penn State, Linebacker Cameron Wake was not drafted in 2005.  He signed with the New York Giants as a Free Agent, but failed to make the team, but he continued to work out and hope for an opportunity, but it took a detour to Canada to get him to the NFL. Wake made the…
Boyd Dowler came from the mountains to the cheese country of Wisconsin, whereas a member of the Green Bay Packers, he would win five NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowls.  Dowler wasted no time becoming a high-end weapon for Bart Starr and Vince Lombardi, and United Press named him the Rookie of the Year in 1959.  He would…
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were loaded with defensive weapons when they won Super Bowl XXVII and were an excellent team before and after.  It is the Bucs defense where the focus is always placed, and the offense is not often discussed.  Whenever it is, Mike Alstott is usually the first name that comes to people's minds.
It is alleged that Roger Brown was the first legitimate 300 pounder in the National Football League.  Nowadays, this is commonplace, but it was Brown who proved that a much larger man could be very much athletic.  It is also amazing that someone so big could be forgotten so quick.
People may remember when John Elway refused to report the Baltimore Colts when he was selected first overall in 1983.  Baltimore traded him to Denver, but it wasn’t all bad for the Colts as they received a future seven time Pro Bowler in return.
Eric Berry played his college ball at Tennessee, where he was one of the most prolific Defensive Backs in school history.  With the Volunteers, Berry was a two-time Consensus All-American and was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, so it was little wonder that Berry was the first Defensive Back taken in the 2010 Draft.
Harlon Hill was such a great player at the University of North Alabama that the MVP of Division II receives the Harlon Hill Trophy.  But this isn't about college now, is it?
A member of the 1930's All-Decade Team, George Christensen, was one of the better Tackles of the decade (obviously based on the above accolade).
Jimmy Smith was a great Wide Receiver but is he truly one of the elite, or is he just one of many in an inflated offensive age of Football.  The answer to that question will determine whether he will get into to the Hall of Fame.
An exceptionally popular player during his days in Cleveland (the local McDonalds franchises even had a sandwich named after him for a time), Michael Dean Perry was a defensive beast who, while with the Browns, was one of the leaders of a strong defense.  MDP would go to five Pro Bowls as a Brown (his sixth coming with Denver), and…
When you think of the state of Florida and the game of football, Fred Taylor is one of those named that should come up in the conversation.  He is from the state, he played his college ball at the University of Florida (where he helped them with the National Championship), and he would play professionally for the Jacksonville Jaguars for…
Did we make a mistake not ranking Drew Bledsoe in his first year of eligibility? Statistically speaking we may have as his career statistics are more impressive than other Quarterbacks ranked higher than him. However other intangibles come into play which just makes it so hard for us to determine the perfect place for him on this list.
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.
Undrafted out of Texas Tech in 2004, Wes Welker would be signed by the San Diego Chargers who released him shortly after and he was able to carve out a niche as a backup Wide Receiver and Return Specialist with the Miami Dolphins.  That itself would be a decent career for an undrafted player but the New England Patriots (who…
