We would love to make a case for Karl Mecklenburg just for his nickname of the “Albino Rhino” but we have always been a sucker for colorful (or in this case not so colorful) nicknames.
Chuck Foreman was called the “Spin Doctor”, but it was not due to his ability to spin his words. It was due to the way that he could spin his body around would-be tacklers.
A seven-time Pro Bowler who spent the majority of his career with the New England Patriots, Logan Mankins fought his way from being an undersized Offensive Lineman to a First Round Draft Pick to a First Team All-Pro Selection. The former Fresno State Bulldog did not win the Super Bowl with New England but helped to protect Tom Brady to…
It might be hard being named Keith Jackson when there was already a very famous sports commentator with the same name who became the voice of the sport. The Tight End with the same name still managed to carve out his own identity.
In the 1960s, the Los Angeles Rams defense was primarily known for its "Fearsome Foursome" Defensive Line, but there was a star in their Secondary by the name of Eddie Meador, who would be chosen for six Pro Bowls. Meador came from Arkansas Tech and would become the starting Left Cornerback in his second season. That year (1960), he would…
Coming out of the University of Alabama, Shaun Alexander backed up Ricky Watters in his rookie season (2000), and after Watters' retirement, he would become the lead back for the Seattle Seahawks. Alexander would go on to a five-year run where he exceeded over 1,000 Rushing Yards, but most importantly, would become a touchdown factory. In 2001, he led the…

Gene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb enlisted in the military and played football as USMC Camp Pendleton, so if you think the teams of the NFL lightly recruited him, you would be right! The 300-pound Lipscomb would, however, sign with the Los Angeles Rams in 1952 and would win the starting Right Defensive Tackle job in 1953 but went on to greater…
Retiring from the National Football League early so that he could devote more time to his humanitarian efforts, Anquan Boldin would secure seven seasons where he had four digits in Receiving Yards. Boldin was an explosive force on the gridiron, making an immediate impact in his rookie year finishing third in both Receptions and Receiving Yards.
At one point, we here at Notinhalloffame.com debated openly that Donovan McNabb played himself out of the Hall of Fame, with horrific stints in Washington and Minnesota, but if he would have won that Super Bowl (the one he threw up in), would that discussion even be held?
In the 1980s, the Dallas Cowboys had a slew of excellent defensive players, so cracking the main roster as an undrafted Free Agent was not too likely, though that is exactly what Everson Walls did in 1981.
Cookie Gilchrist had a bizarre road to the pro football in the United States, and dare we say had he never crossed the path of Paul Brown, the owner of the Cleveland Browns, and he could have been a household name in the 1960s.
Phil Simms is a two-time Super Bowl Winning Quarterback, though many who watched his first five years of play may not have foreseen it.Simms may have been inconsistent when he began his tenure in the NFL, but something seemed to click in 1984. It wasn’t just the influx of talent to the Giants roster, as it was at this time…
Drafted 3rd Overall in the 1985 NFL Draft, the former Texas A&M Aggie was settling into a nice role where he played Defensive End for the Houston Oilers. He did well and would go to his first Pro Bowl in 1988, but a switch from the 3-4 to 4-3 Defense forced Childress to move to Defensive Tackle, and it fit…
In the early 1970s, the Miami Dolphins were one of the best teams ever, and they were loaded with talent, but one of their stars, Dick Anderson, seems to have been forgotten. Let's try to rectify that.
It may be called the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but for all intents and purposes, it only focuses on accomplishments from the NFL and to a lesser extent the AFL. This is too bad for Herschel Walker who chalked up monster totals in his first three years of Pro Football but did so as a member of the New Jersey…
Joe Fortunato played his entire career with the Chicago Bears, the team that drafted him in the 7th Round in 1952. While the Linebacker was chosen for the 1950's All-Decade Team, many of his accolades took place in the 1960s. Four of his five Pro Bowls came in the '60s, as did all three of his First Team All-Pro Selections. …
It is not a stretch by any means to state that Nick Mangold was the greatest New York Jet Center ever. We could easily go a step further and state that he is one of the best Offensive Lineman in franchise history.
Playing his college ball at South Dakota State, Vinatieri began his pro career with the Amsterdam Admirals of the World League of American Football. The New England Patriots signed him after and in 1996, he was officially a National Football League player. New England was a team on the rise and if we are to agree that New England has been…
It is hard not to consider Clay Matthews Jr. as part of football royalty. How can you not?
