Bubba Smith would become more known for his acting career (notably as Hightower in the Police Academy movies) but for many in Baltimore he is best known as the gargantuan defender who helped the Colts win Super Bowl V.  Smith was the first overall draft pick in 1967 and his five year run also saw him make the Pro Bowl twice.
From the Marines to the NFL, Gene Lipscomb had a strange road to the National Football League, as not only was he undrafted out of college, he didn’t play in one.  Lipscomb would break in the Los Angeles Rams, but a trade to the Colts saw him hit his apex, where he would not only help the team win two NFL Championships but would make the First Team All-Pro roster twice.
A member of the Super Bowl V Championship Team, Defensive Lineman, Billy Ray Smith ended his career perfectly; on that championship win.  Nicknamed “The Rabbit” by his teammates, Smith was a defensive captain and known as one of the locker room leaders and on the field with his solid dedication to fundamentals.
