Considered by many to be the meanest football player of his day (and that says a lot doesn’t it?) Mike Curtis feasted on Quarterbacks the way we feast on turkeys at Thanksgiving.  Curtis was originally drafted as a Fullback but converted to the defensive side of the ledger much to the benefit of the Colts.  He would be named the AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1970 by the NFL 101 writers and aided the Colts in their Super Bowl V win.

For a spell, an argument could be made that American Goalie, Ryan Miller was the best in between the pipes.  In the 2009/10 season, Miller won the Vezina Trophy and was named the Olympic MVP in the States’ Silver Medal performance in the Vancouver Games.  Miller never had a season at that level again, but was always considered one of the better of the lot, though he may need a few more accolades to really be considered a Hall of Fame contender.

A more than above average hockey player from the Czech Republic, forward, Martin Havlat is a well travelled hockey player who has played professionally for multiple teams most notable for the Ottawa Senators and the Chicago Blackhwaks.  Havlat has been an All Star twice and has scored 30 or more Points on three different occasions.  Havlat also represented the Czech Republic in multiple tournaments, highlighted by a Gold Medal win in the 2000 World Hockey Championship.  Coincidentally, he also was on the Czech World Junior Hockey Championship winning team months before.

Known for his blue line tenacity, Francois Beauchemin made a Second Team All Star in the 2012/13 season and he would finish fourth in Norris Trophy voting that year.  While he never had a regular season like that again he would win a Stanley Cup earlier in his career with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007.
